Question: How to Clean Soiled Mattresses?

How to clean mattresses that have been peed on by children? I don’t want to go buy new ones because I just bought the brand new ones like 6 months ago!

Answer: The best way is perhaps to keep a waterproof mattress cover or mattress pad on every mattress including your own bed since children like to crawl into bed with you at night.

Before you put on a waterproof mattress cover or mattress pad, make sure you soak up as much excess urine as possible until the the urine stain is dry.

Next, apply 3% liquid hydrogen peroxide on the stained area. Leave it on for five minutes. Repeat the step above.

Then, apply bicarbonate of soda or baking soda on the mattress and rub it in gently with a soft brush or firm sponge. Leave it on overnight. Vacuum off the dry powder the next day.

Lastly, dry the mattress in hot sun for a day before putting on a waterproof mattress cover or mattress pad.

Your tips/suggestions are welcome. :-)

Question: What kind of mattresses are good for platform beds?

I’m moving tomorrow and am shopping for new bedroom furniture. I’m stuck on what kind of mattress to buy for my platform bed.

What kind of mattress is good for a platform bed? Can I use a temper-pedic or pillow top mattress without boxsprings on it?
