Question
I have a mattress that stinks of urine. Is there anything I could do to clean it? My first impulse is to wet it thoroughly and put it out on the trampoline to dry in the sun, but that might do more harm than good, I don't know. Recommendations?
Just putting water on it will not get the odor out. You need to get a "pet" odor remover or one that is specific for urine. Spray that heavily, let it dry and see if that helps.
I've never had experience with a mattress but urine is the hardest odor to get out!
