What Is the Best Way to Remove Urine from a Mattress?
A urine stain in a mattress can come from pets or people. No matter the source of the urine stain, it will be easier to clean if it is dealt with immediately. Whether trying to remove just the odor or the entire stain, treat the stain as soon as possible to prevent bacteria and mold from growing in the bed. Absorb as much urine as possible from the mattress with a towel. Spray a carpet or upholstery cleaner on the wet spot on the mattress, and scrub it into the stain with a damp towel. Allow the spot to dry completely. Repeat if necessary until the stain is gone. Spray the mattress with a commercial odor remover spray. If this does not remove the smell, sprinkle the spot with baking soda and allow it to sit for 24 hours before vacuuming it up. Dampen a towel with hydrogen peroxide or vinegar and scrub the spot to eliminate any remaining odors or stains. Allow the mattress to dry completely before replacing the bedding.
