Return to article: How to Care for a Mattress
on 11/22/2005 To remove most liquids that may affect the actual mattress, locate some extremely absorbent material (such as a large amount of good-quality paper towels) and lay it directly on the mattress where the liquid has been spilled. Then, place an extremely heavy object that has at least one flat surface wide enough to encompass the area of the spilled liquid onto the area where you have placed the absorbent material. Leave this in place for a minimum of a few hours, and adjust the time according to how much liquid was spilled. This will allow most of the liquid to be removed from the mattress and transferred into the absorbent material. Replace the absorbent material a few times, if the situation requires it. Afterward, air out the mattress (preferably outdoors during a sunny day).
