How Long Does It Take for Baking Soda to Remove Odor?
While baking soda is a common household remedy for odor absorption, its effectiveness for removing stubborn odors can vary.
- Small, Confined Spaces: For small areas such as closets or drawers, baking soda can absorb odors within a few hours to a day.
- Large, Open Areas: For larger rooms or open spaces, it may take several days or even weeks for baking soda to significantly reduce odors.
- Severity of Odor: The strength and type of odor also affect the time it takes for baking soda to remove it. Strong odors, such as smoke or pet urine, may require longer exposure.
To maximize the effectiveness of baking soda for odor removal, ensure the following:
- Use a substantial amount of baking soda and place it in a shallow container.
- Leave the baking soda exposed to the air for the recommended time.
- Replace the baking soda every few days to maintain its effectiveness.
If baking soda fails to remove stubborn odors after a reasonable time, it may be necessary to contact Odor Removal Services for professional assistance.
