How to clean urine off the mattress.

10/04/09 | cleaning tips

I have a child that wets the bed about 3 times a year, so it’s not a huge problem, but it’s really gross to clean up! This is the process I use to be sure everything is as fresh as new!

-First strip all bedding from the bed and throw it in the washer with your regular detergent and a splash of vinegar
-Next get a dirty towel from the laundry and fold it in half. Place over the wet spot and pound all over with your fist. This soaks up all the excess fluid that soaked into the mattress.
-Use a Bio Enzyme cleaner like the one found here: http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/item.php?id=3426 This is the one we have cause we used to have that central vacuum. I loved that vacuum. It’s a wet/dry vac so you could clean up everything and that’s perfect for a mom with little ones!!! Anyway, remember to dilute it and put it in a spray bottle. Scrub with the same towel flipped over.
-Sprinkle baking soda on the wet spot and wait a few hours to allow the baking soda to absorb the moisture.
-Vacuum up the soda with the attachment on your vacuum and your done! The mattress is as fresh as it was brand new!
