In this comprehensive guide, I will explain how to clean urine from your mattress. It is important to read this post to the end to fully understand the cleaning process. Whether your child has wet the bed or urine has accidentally spilled on your mattress, the steps provided in this post will be helpful.
I had a similar experience when my pet spilled urine on my mattress, and I will share with you exactly how I cleaned it. Urine can cause unpleasant stains and odors, so it is important to start the cleaning process as quickly as possible. If you cannot clean the urine yourself and want to outsource the job to a cleaning agent, stay with me as I will also provide a list of cleaning agencies in the UK who can help you get rid of urine from your bed.
To begin the cleaning process, you need to prepare a cleaning solution. You can make this cleaning solution with three simple ingredients that I believe everyone has in their house:
- 8 oz of hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the mattress • 3 tbsp of baking soda to remove tough stains and odours • 3 drops of liquid dishwashing soap to remove stains and dirt
Preparing the Cleaning Solution:
- Mix the above three ingredients together in the order arranged above.
- Add a few drops of essential oil (optional) to improve the mattress’s smell.
- Pour the solution into a spray bottle.
- Shake the bottle to evenly mix the solution.
- Your cleaning solution is now ready.
Cleaning Supplies Needed:
- Cleaning solution
- Vacuum cleaner
Steps to Get Rid of Urine from Your Mattress:
Note that the steps outlined below work for both wet and dried mattresses.
- Wear a pair of disposable gloves and a nose mask.
- Remove the mattress from the bed and place it upright against a wall.
- Spray the stained area with the solution until it is wet.
- Vacuum the areas that you have sprinkled the cleaning solution on.
- Repeat steps 1-4 until you achieve your desired results.
- Wait for the mattress to dry. Alternatively, you can dry the mattress using a hot air blower.
Important Points to Note:
- The size of your mattress will determine the amount of cleaning solution to prepare. • Wear gloves and other protective clothing when necessary.
Preventing Future Urine Spills:
- Cover your mattress with a non-permeable rubber cover.
- Quickly start the cleaning process as soon as urine spills on your bed.
- If you have a urine disorder, consult an expert to help you curb it.
- Cover your child’s mattress with a rubber sheet to prevent the urine from leaking into the mattress.
