How or why does baking soda absorb odors?

How does baking soda absorb odors?

  • Answer:

    Baking soda can neutralize unpleasant airborne odors (because odors are usually acid-based, much like sour milk smelling bad) because it chemically neutralizes them. Baking soda also works on our own body odors, pet urine odors or the mouth-plaque that causes bad-breath. Other products often rely on added fragrances which mask odors; with baking soda such odors are actually gone because the offensive smell has been absorbed.
