    Natures Miracle, hands down. I’ve used it on everything from upholstered furniture, to mattresses, to dog beds to carpet caring for ill animals and elderly relatives. You can find it at the big discounters in the pet aisle or pet stores. It has natural enzymes which actually digest the bacteria in urine so that it isn’t just covering up the smell, but sanitizing and removing the source of the scent. On a mattress, the key to getting it out all of the way is to saturate the stain, let it sit to have time to digest and then use a wet/dry vac to suck it out of the padding. If you do not have a vac, stack some old terry towels on top of the stain and saturated spot and carefull hop on it to draw out the liquid.

    I can’t wait to see some suggestions because I have exactly the same problem thanks to both my son and step son wetting the bed!

    I know my mom uses vinegar for when our new puppy has accidents. you could try that. It works really good for the smell.

    If you were caught without your mattress protected, here are a few tips to cleanup the urine stains (first use a blacklight to see what size of stain you’re dealing with. The urine will glow):

    Method #1

    Mix a pourable thick paste with cornstarch and water, stir until there are no lumps and make enough to cover the entire stain(s).
    Pour the cornstarch mixture over the stain and leave it for several hours to dry. You can do this overnight if you like.
    Once the cornstarch is dried thoroughly, vacuum off the mattress.
    Use your blacklight again to see if you caught it all. If not, reapply a fresh batch of cornstarch mix.

    Method #2

    1 part white vinegar
    2 parts dishwashing liquid

    Lift up as much of the urine as you can with paper towels blotting and soaking up the wet urine stain.
    Next mix the vinegar and dishwashing liquid in a container and apply over stain with a wet sponge, dab it on generously. Let the soap sit for 30 minutes.
    Take a clean, wet sponge and pull up as much of the soap cleaner that you can.
    Sprinkle wet area generously with cornstarch and leave for several hours–then vacuum up.
    Method #3

    This one’s from the How to Clean Cat Urine tip.

    1 16-oz. bottle Hydrogen Peroxide
    1 TBS Baking Soda
    1 tsp dish detergent (liquid)

    Mix ingredients into an old plastic container and stir well with a plastic or wooden spoon (do not use metal utensils or metal dishes).
    Once powder is dissolved, pour liquid into a plastic squirt bottle and squirt on urine spot, completely saturate the stain and surrounding area. Do not scrub or touch the spot, leave the cleaner to set and air dry for at least one hour.
    After it’s completely dry, vacuum the spot–there may be baking soda residue. You can wipe with a clean rag if needed.
    Lingering Odors Tip: If you’re concerned about lingering odors, you can also spray some vinegar & sprinkle baking powder over the now dried and cleaned stain before making a fresh bed (wait for vinegar to dry before making bed).

    Bedding Care
    Wash all bedding as soon as possible, using a good 1/2 cup of vinegar per load (cider vinegar if you have it). This will help kill the smell.
