Freshen up your mattress for sweet sleep

Summer nights can leave mattresses with a funky sweat odor. Whisk it away with this simple trick: Combine 1⁄4 cup of baking soda and 6 drops of lavender oil in a sieve and sprinkle on the mattress. Let sit for 2 hours before vacuuming. The baking soda will absorb odors, and the lavender leaves behind a sleep-inducing scent.
