How do I get the smell of urine out of a mattress ?

[Nickienickie]

My toddler keeps having accidents on the bed .. I have a mattress protector but it's obviously not waterproof so some urine leaked onto the bed. I immediately washed it with warm soapy water but there is a lingering smell there now. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get rid of it ? Thanks in advance.

Usually few hours out side in the Sun on a warm sunny day should do the trick. That is what my wife usually did when our Son used to wet it the same way as you are telling. Try it and see.

Hi I know this doesn't really help, but it depends on how bad it is.
My Daughter was very ill last year and wet the bed quite a few times, after she was better I tried everything to get out the smell starting with soapy water, then fabreeze, then a bissel power cleaner and nothing worked so in the end I bought her a new matress (and all new bedding).
Coz I had to spend money I didn't really I have I have been very careful with her new matress.
The best advice I can give for the future is make sure you buy a waterproof matress protector, and buy a low tog quilt. Put the low tog quilt over the matress, put the matress protector on top of that and then your bottom sheet. That was if anything does get through the matress protector chances are the quilt will soak it up and you can just chuck that in the wash.
Its worked for me!
