FAQ:
1. Can I use baking soda to deodorize other areas of my home?
Absolutely! Baking soda works wonders in refrigerators, trash cans, shoes, and even on carpets.
2. Will baking soda harm my clothes?
No, baking soda is non-toxic and safe for most fabrics. Just ensure it doesn’t come into direct contact with delicate or dark-colored clothing, as it may leave a white residue.
3. How often should I use baking soda in my closet?
For optimal results, use it monthly or whenever you notice odors developing.
4. Can I reuse the same batch of baking soda?
Once baking soda has absorbed odors, it’s less effective for reuse. However, you can repurpose it for cleaning tasks.
5. What if my closet smells persistently bad?
Persistent odors may indicate mold or mildew. In such cases, inspect the closet and consider using additional moisture-absorbing solutions like silica gel or a dehumidifier.
