Urine stains on a mattress can be embarrassing, especially if they are not cleaned immediately. In addition to visible marks, they can leave a lingering odor. Fortunately, there are effective methods to get rid of them quickly and without much effort.
Prevention is best. If you have children or anyone prone to nighttime accidents, using a waterproof mattress protector is recommended. Some covers have a plastic layer between the fabrics to prevent any liquid from penetrating. Absorbent sleepers placed between the mattress and the fitted sheet can also help limit damage.
If a urine stain does form, it is important to act quickly. Start by absorbing as much moisture as possible with paper towels or a dry cloth. It is better to dab rather than rub to avoid spreading the stain.
Ammonia is one of the most effective solutions. Pour a little onto a damp cloth and rub the affected area. For added convenience, you can also use a spray bottle and spray directly onto the stain before rubbing with a clean cloth dampened with water.
After cleaning, drying is an essential step. Let the mattress air dry, ideally in the sun, or use a hair dryer to speed up the process.
If you want to avoid the strong smell of ammonia, there are several natural alternatives that are just as effective.
Baking soda acts as a natural disinfectant and bleach. Dissolve it in warm water and apply the solution to the stain with a sponge before rubbing gently.
