I put bowls of baking soda under every bed in my house for 14 days. This is what happened

Within the first 48 hours, I noticed subtle changes in the air quality and scent of each room. Initially, I wasn’t sure if the changes were real or if I was imagining them. However, after entering the rooms after being away for a few hours, there was a discernible difference. The rooms smelled less stale, and there was a noticeable absence of any strong, lingering odors. It was a promising start, suggesting that the baking soda was beginning to work its magic.

As the days progressed, the rooms continued to smell fresher. The most significant change was in the guest room, which had had a persistent musty smell due to infrequent use. The change was less pronounced in the children’s rooms, which frequently experience a mix of smells from toys, snacks, and daily activities. Nonetheless, there was a subtle improvement, particularly in the mornings, when the air was noticeably crisp and clean.
