Freshen Your Mattress with Baking Soda and Essential Oils


Mattresses can get a bit stale over time and are notoriously hard to clean. But you can freshen up your mattress in no time with a little help from one of our favorite cleaning supplies—baking soda.

Even if you wash your sheets regularly, your mattress may not be getting the attention it needs. The good folks over at Make it Do have a solution for you, though. Use a sifter or fine mesh strainer to sprinkle about a cup of baking soda directly onto your mattress. Let it sit for about an hour to soak up the odors, then vacuum it up. And if you like, you can even add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the baking soda.
