Urine stains on the mattress are almost common. There is no house that does not have at least one. Especially when you have children, these drawbacks happen. Although at first it may seem like a situation that can no longer be solved, there is no stain that cannot be removed with miraculous ingredients.

When the mattress gets dirty with pee, all you have to do is think about cleaning it well, because it is what allows us to rest both the mind and the body, with a prolonged restful sleep during the day or night. Precisely for this reason, it must always be taken care of.

Any mattress should be subjected at least once a month to specific treatments, which prevent dust from accumulating, eliminating mites that in the long run could also cause allergies or respiratory problems.

Some even begin to suffer from insomnia due to dust and mites. Every time you change the sheets, it is advisable to vacuum to eliminate mites and prevent them from taking over the bed. Instead, once a month or at most every 2/3 months, a thorough cleaning should be carried out.

Removing pee stains from the mattress, when and how to act

If you don’t really know how to act and behave, you just need to equip yourself with a few ingredients found in the kitchen, in the pantry and a little patience. In this way, the mattress is practically as good as new again. You should also know that with these ingredients, in addition to the pee of children or adults, you can also remove vomit stains.

To remove pee stains from the mattress, the first fundamental ingredient is time. The sooner you act, the better, because the more time passes, the more risk there is that the stain will set and never disappear, because it creates streaks. So we took an ingredient, considered the ally of housewives because it is useful in the kitchen in a thousand ways every day. This is baking soda.

How to act on pee stains with baking soda

This ingredient is dissolved in hot water and then rubbed vigorously directly onto the urine stains on the mattress. When these have completely disappeared, air dry the mattress: it is better to take it out directly, perhaps to the balcony or garden.

However, if you don’t have much space, you should necessarily dry with a hairdryer even if it takes much longer. This procedure is essential because if the mattress is left damp, mold can form, the consequence is the smell of humidity that little by little forces us to throw it away and therefore change it.

Vinegar as an alternative or ally to baking soda

A valid alternative to baking soda could be vinegar. Prepare a mixture of baking soda and hot water, add drops of essential oil, you can choose the one you prefer, although lavender ones are especially suitable, as they allow you to rest better. Then you take a sponge, dip it in the solution, and then rub it vigorously on the urine stains on the mattress until they disappear.

Here, too, as in the previous case, the mattress should be dried in the open air or with a hairdryer.

Vomit stains, such as removing them completely, including stains.

However, in the case of vomit stains, they must be worked with much more patience and strength because they rarely disappear without a trace. The possibility of the mattress being as good as new again only exists if it is acted on promptly, in the right way and with the right ingredients.

You should not use any specific product, which in fact could be so aggressive as to completely ruin the mattress, without completely dissolving the stain. The best advice that can be given in this case is to use steam.

First we act with the hot jet, closely, over and over again, because one alone does not solve the problem. With multiple jets you dissolve dirt, stain and the ring itself. The stain should be much less visible by now. Then clean the area thoroughly with hot soapy water, rubbing thoroughly with a clean sponge. Once done, it is placed in the sun, or dried as well as possible.
