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

Aside from general odors, I was interested in whether baking soda could tackle specific issues such as dust and pet smells. While the presence of dust did not significantly change, the rooms felt less stuffy. The pet smells, especially in the room where our dog often sleeps, were reduced. The musty corner of the guest room seemed to have lost its characteristic odor, suggesting that the baking soda was effective in more targeted areas as well.

One unexpected side effect was the absorption of moisture by the baking soda. In one of the rooms with high humidity, the baking soda clumped together slightly, indicating its moisture-absorbing properties. However, this did not seem to affect its deodorizing effectiveness. I was cautious about potential spills, especially on carpeted areas, but the bowls remained intact. There were no noticeable impacts on under-bed storage, which was a relief.
