Homemade Carpet or Rug deoderizer:

To neutralize odors: Borax* and cornmeal. Sprinkle the
carpet with a mixture of 1 cup Borax and 2 cups cornmeal.
Let this mixture stand for an hour before vacuuming.

Another alternative is Baking Soda. Making certain that
the carpet is dry, sprinkle baking soda liberally over
the entire carpet. Wait at least 15 minutes, or overnight
if the odor is particularly bad, before vacuuming.
