I was cleaning shelves in my clothes closet on Sunday. We have one of those closet organizer systems, and the shelf on the top seems to be a tiny bit short. It rests on pegs that you can use to change the height of the shelf, and every now and then, if you touch it just right, it will slide off the pegs, and dump everything on you.

The bottle is tiny, but the oil packs a punch. Some of it spilled across the back end of two pairs of slides, and some of it dripped onto, and into the carpet.<\/p>\n

\nLadies on my herb group suggested that I rub baking soda on the carpet, and then vacuum it up. With repetitions, the scent might fade a bit. It’s worth a try. I’ve started the treatment.
