Urine Remover

vinegar
water
baking soda
hydrogen peroxide
liquid dish soap

1.
For recent/fresh urine on a mattress...blot up as much of it as you can using paper towels. Apply plenty of pressure to reach the dampness deep down. You may even need to stand on the towels to really reach deep down. If you own a wet/dry vac, try sucking out as much of the moisture as you can. If you are treating a previously dried urine stain, skip this step and move to step 2.

2. In a spray bottle mix
a solution of 50% vinegar & 50% water. Shake well to mix. Spray solution over soiled area. Don't saturate the mattress but you will want to use the solution liberally. Repeat step one to blot the moisture from the cleaning solution. Repeat as necessary.

3. In a cup, combine 1 c. hydrogen peroxide with 1 tsp. dish washing liquid. Set aside. Liberally sprinkle baking soda over the soiled area and then sprinkle the baking soda with your peroxide mixture. Work the concoction into the mattress and allow to sit for about 15 minutes. Repeat blotting method (step 1.) Allow mattress to dry.

4. Once mattress has dried, vacuum to remove any residue.
