To deodorize a mat, sprinkle baking soda evenly over the entire surface, let it sit for 15-30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly. For deep odors, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle, lightly mist the mat, and let it air dry completely. Ensure the mat is completely dry to prevent mold and mildew. This method is both effective and eco-friendly.**
