A thought: Don't combine the baking soda with the lemon. I talked this
over with my boyfriend today. I don't know enough chemistry to be sure
why the baking soda works. He thought it might absorb odors by being a
dessicant, by drying them out. I thought it had to do with the baking
soda being a mild base. If that's it, then don't combine it with lemon
which is a mild acid. They'd cancel each other out.
