Nature's Barrier Powder by OBA combines sodium bicarbonate, diatomaceous earth, and essential oils to serve as a multipurpose deodorizer and pest deterrent for carpets, furniture, and more.
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:
-
Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda):
- Neutralizes odors effectively.
- Absorbs moisture, which can help in eliminating the damp environments pests thrive in.
-
Diatomaceous Earth (DE):
- Works as a natural pest deterrent by damaging the exoskeletons of insects like fleas, ants, and mites, causing them to dehydrate.
- Adds an absorbent quality to the powder, aiding in odor control.
-
Essential Oils:
- Offer a pleasant, long-lasting fragrance.
- Provide natural pest-repellent properties (e.g., citronella, eucalyptus, or lavender oils are commonly effective against pests).
Uses and Applications:
1. Carpet Deodorizer:
- Sprinkle the powder evenly over carpets.
- Allow it to sit for 15–30 minutes to absorb odors.
- Vacuum thoroughly to remove both the powder and any embedded smells.
2. Furniture Deodorizer:
- Lightly sprinkle on upholstered furniture.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Use a vacuum attachment to clean the surface.
3. Pest Deterrent:
- Apply the powder around the baseboards, corners, and other areas where pests may enter.
- For carpets and pet bedding, let the powder sit for a few hours before vacuuming.
- Use regularly to maintain pest control in high-traffic or problem areas.
Precautions:
-
For Pets and Children:
- While DE is generally safe for pets, ensure they do not inhale the fine powder during application.
- Avoid direct contact with mucous membranes.
-
Vacuuming:
- Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to capture fine particles and prevent them from recirculating into the air.
-
Test First:
- Always test a small area of carpet or fabric for colorfastness before applying the powder to the entire surface.
Tips for Effective Use:
- For persistent odors or pests, reapply the powder weekly.
- Combine with deep cleaning methods for long-term freshness.
- Store the powder in a sealed, dry container to preserve the effectiveness of the essential oils.
Nature's Barrier Powder offers an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic deodorizers and pest deterrents, leveraging the natural properties of its ingredients to freshen and protect your home.
