I hope we are all adults here and this is not a prank. I will do my best to be respectful to all here. We have an new and expensive mattress. We went to change the matters pad we saw many stains. We determined that the stains are from my wife’s active “G” spot that can/dose make a “mess”.

What can clean this? Could I use a water and a bleach mixture?

those who have bedwetters, it is not funny it may be a condition called nocturnal urinesis, the body is producing too much urine at night and they arent feeling it,both my parents wet the bed till there 20’s and passed it on to all 3 kids,i use a heavy towel and stand/hop on it to get as much up as possible then spray a mix of febreeze and a disenfectant like fabuloso or mr.clean over the top of the matress and get a towel and scrub across it. i havent been able to get my matress outdoors but i turn the fan on high let it dry for a few minutes then put a heavy towel back over it and stand on it to get any more liquid up then uncover and let sit…this seems to work for me…

I have a cat that’s getting in her older years now and she is starting to pee outside of the litter box. And one day I came home from work and found that she had peed all over my new mattress i tried stanley steamer’s carpet and upholstrey shampoo with a damp cloth. If any of you have suggestions please share them with me?

My mattress don’t have any of the problems I see here on this site, what happened to the mattress was, it was put on its side in the basement and got a little wet. It has a slight water stain in a six inch area and I’m concerned about mites and stuff. I found a reputable cleaning company that is going to clean it, but I want the other things done to it too, like the vacuuming, mite removal, sprayed to prevent them from coming back or coming in, etc. The mattrass wasn’t slept on but about a couple of months. And the truth is, I really don’t think I need a new one because It doesn’t smell or look bad or damaged. I just want to make sure it’s perfect and clean so, I will have peace of mind. I dare not try to clean it myself because of drying issues and I know it will leave a stain and make matters worst. I’ve heard of the dry steam cleaning and I think that would be good for them to use after they clean it with the upholstery cleaner.

Step 1. Vacuum off the mattress using the vacuum cleaner attachment. Be sure to lift the lip of the pillow top and get underneath.
Step 2. Mix a solution of vinegar and water in a spray bottle and lightly mist the mattress with it.
Step 3. Mix powdered laundry detergent and water into a paste and apply it to stains with a soft clean cloth. Gently scrub the stain with the paste and allow it to sit on the stain for five minutes. Use the vacuum cleaner attachment to pick up any residual dry paste.
Step 4. Sprinkle baking soda all over the mattress and allow it to sit for three or four hours before vacuuming it up.
Step 5. Set the mattress outside on a sunny day to soak in the sunlight. It may be helpful to lay a clean blanket out for the mattress to lie on. After at least a couple of hours, flip the mattress over so the other side can get some sunlight too. This will help to kill any mold or mildew spores that may be inside the mattress
