Supplies Needed:
Baking Soda: Acts as a natural deodorizer and moisture absorber.
Lavender Oil: Known for its calming and sleep-promoting properties. Alternatively, you can use any essential oil like tea tree for its antibacterial qualities.
Jar with Lid: To mix and store your ingredients.
Vacuum: To clean off the mixture after application.
Instructions:
1. Mix Ingredients: In your jar, combine a cup of baking soda with four to five drops of your chosen essential oil. Seal the jar and shake well to distribute the oil evenly throughout the baking soda.
2. Apply to Mattress: Evenly sift the mixture over the surface of your mattress. A single batch should cover half of a King-sized bed.
3. Wait: Allow the mixture to sit for about an hour. This gives it time to absorb odors, moisture, and dirt from the mattress.
4. Vacuum: Thoroughly vacuum the mattress to remove the baking soda mixture.
