Baking soda is a natural ingredient that can help remove stains and eliminate odors from your mattress. Here’s how you can use it:
- Create a thick paste by mixing baking soda with water.
- Spread the paste over the stain and let it dry for about an hour. This will help lift the stain from the mattress.
- Remove the dried powder with a vacuum cleaner.
- For stubborn stains, sprinkle baking soda over the stain and then spray white vinegar onto it using a spray bottle. The chemical reaction will cause bubbling, and the stains will be removed. Allow it to dry and then remove the residue with a vacuum cleaner.
- To eliminate bad odors, sprinkle a layer of baking soda all over the mattress. Leave it for a few hours, and then vacuum it up.
