Q. How can I remove a urine stain from a mattress?
A. If the stain is old, it will be practically impossible to remove. However, if the stain is fresh you could try a solution of dish soap and water, or an enzyme-based cleaner. Pour it over the stain, allow it to penetrate, then rinse with water. Blot up as much of the moisture as possible or use a vacuum cleaner. Dry the mattress outside on a sunny day, which will help to reduce the stain further. You will know whether you have been successful by the smell.
