Odor treatment. Mattresses naturally develop odors from sweat and other factors. To eliminate any existing odors or stop them from generating, generously sprinkle backing soda over the mattress’s surface. To add some fragrance, mix 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oils to the baking soda. Allow the baking soda to work for at least 30 minutes. After the time concludes, vacuum particles in like manner as when you removed the initial debris.
