Why Baking Soda Works as an Air Freshener

• Baking soda naturally absorbs odors rather than covering them up.
• It neutralizes acidic and basic odor molecules.
• When combined with essential oils, it leaves a light natural scent.

Baking soda has been used for refrigerator and pantry odor absorbing for YEARS. Why not use it for the rest of the house?
