The baking soda mattress trick: What works, what people get wrong, and how to do it right

Baking soda effectively neutralizes mattress odors by absorbing moisture and trapping smell-causing particles. However, it's not a complete cleaning solution and excessive use can be counterproductive. For deeper cleaning and allergen reduction, thorough vacuuming is crucial. Prevention through mattress covers and ventilation offers a more comprehensive approach to maintaining a fresh and healthy sleep environment.
