For Stronger Odor Removal: If your mattress has particularly strong odors, you can add a tablespoon of activated charcoal to your baking soda mixture. Activated charcoal is excellent at absorbing odors and moisture.
For Stubborn Stains: If there are stains on your mattress, mix a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the paste directly to the stain and let it sit for 30 minutes before wiping it off with a clean, damp cloth. Repeat if necessary.
