If you want to give your mattress a quick refresh then you might have come across the advice to use baking soda. But is this hack an old wives tale, or does it actually work? And if it does work, how do you clean a mattress with baking soda, exactly?
Not so long ago, Sophie Hinchcliffe, or as we know and love her, Mrs Hinch, the queen of cleaning, demonstrated this hack for how to clean a mattress on her Instagram stories. After stripping the bed, she sprinkled bicarbonate of soda over her mattress. She then left the bicarbonate of soda (also known as baking soda) on the mattress for an hour before vacuuming up the powder.
