Bicarbonate Of Soda / Baking Soda

Depending upon which side of the pond you are, you may call this bicarbonate of soda or baking soda. Either way, it’s the same thing. Bicarbonate of soda as amazing natural deodorising properties.

Essential Oils

When it comes to essential oils, the choice of fragrance is a personal preference. I like to use lavender as it’s a relaxing type of scent which is great for bedding, but I sometimes use lemon too.

Funnel

This is possible without a funnel, but far easier and less messy with one.
