Help fast! My son had an accident on his new mattress!

My son just woke up and pee'd all his new bed! I had a plastic sheet on but it shifted!

What is the best way to clean it up?

found this on a website.. hope it helps...

Unless the “accident” is immediately noticed and action is taken, urine can saturate the substrate within the mattress well past the surface area. If this happens, removing urine and the ensuing odor from a mattress is difficult and provides ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria and mold which only increases the mix of unpleasant odors.

Absorb as much of the urine as possible by using paper towels or a dry, clean, absorbent towel with weight applied on top of the towel (heavy boxes filled with books, toys, dishes, miscellaneous items, etc., work well).

Check the paper towels after a few minutes (or towel after 15 minutes) and replace with more paper towels (or another towel), if needed. Then apply a STAIN and ODOR REMOVER product as suggested on the products label.

If no STAIN and ODOR REMOVER product is available, a white vinegar spray can be used to remove urine stains and odor.

1. Absorb as much of the urine as possible by using a dry, clean, towel with weight applied on top of the towel (heavy boxes filled with books, toys, dishes, miscellaneous items, etc., work well).

2. Pour white vinegar into a clean spray bottle and lightly mist the “accident” area avoiding over-saturating the area.

3. Immediately after applying the white vinegar spray, begin absorbing the urine/white vinegar with a dry, clean, absorbent towel.

4. Cover the area with baking soda to neutralize the odor, leaving it on overnight.
5. Vacuum the baking soda off the mattress.

Good luck with it, I've had accidents in the bed too. They sell zip around waterproof covers that you can put on the bed. I have one of those on all my kids mattresses and another padded waterproof mattress cover on top. Not overkill IMO.

Ive had an issue with urine on my couch and they sell a pet odor/urine remover at pet stores. Im not sure if they recommend it for mattresses though but I know they sell it on line too. Pet pee be gone
