How to Remove Urine and Other Stains from a Mattress

If you have ever had a little one or a pet have an accident on your new mattress, you know how upsetting it can be. Aside from hiring professionals to super clean your mattress, a temporary fix can be as simple as using good spray upholstery cleaner and a damp cloth.

Things You'll Need

• a stained mattress
• a good carpet and upholstery cleaner such as Resolve
• a damp white handtowel

Instructions

1. This works especially well with fresh stains, but I have had success with older stains as well.

2. Shake can of cleaner if necessary and apply a nice coat of foam to entire area of stain. Allow foam to sit for a few moments or up to 5 minutes.

3. Blot area with damp towel. Rinse towel in clean water, wring out well and blot area again. If needed repeat process until stain is gone.
   I usually have success with one application.

Tips & Warnings

• Resolve had been excellent in my experience for removing the odor too. But odor does remain, try using a product such as Fabreze once the mattress has dried.

• Once the little ones have grown out of the accident phase, you may want to have your mattress cleaned by a professional.

• Whenever possible, do use a good mattress cover to protect your mattress from accidents.
