Cat urine is the last thing you want to smell from your memory foam mattress. Not only does it stink, it can also generate all kinds of bacteria that are harmful to our health.
The first thing to do is keep your memory foam mattress away from your cats. Your mattress can’t take any more stains and aggravations. The next thing you need to do is clean your mattress.
Here are some more easy ways to help clean your mattress effortlessly:
1. Use baking soda
Baking soda is an all-time favorite household cleaner. It can clean just about anything, from washing machines to bathroom floors to countertops. This is why you have to stock up on baking soda.
Get rid of excess cat urine by first rubbing a clean towel on the affected area. Sprinkle baking soda on that part and rub it in a bit to help the powder penetrate deeper. Leave it there for a few hours and then vacuum it up.
Another thing you can do is mix baking soda with water and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the affected area and leave for a few minutes. Vacuum it again to reveal a urine-free mattress.
2. Use vinegar
Vinegar works well to remove cat urine stains and odor. Not for vinegar directly. Mix about a cup of white vinegar with 4 cups of water and soak a clean towel in this solution. Let the towel sit on the affected area so the mattress can absorb moisture. Wait an hour for the solution to do its best on the mattress. Then spray a little water to remove the vinegar smell. You can also sprinkle baking soda to neutralize the acidity of the vinegar. Get your hair dryer ready and use the cold setting to dry the mattress.
3. Wool solution
Woolite fabric cleaner can be purchased at the store. If you’re restocking your home with supplies, don’t forget to choose the Woolite solution because it works well on memory foam materials.
Simply add one cup of Woolite fabric cleaner to two cups of warm water and place in a spray bottle. Spray the affected area with this solution and leave it to act for a few hours. Spray water again once it has dried and vacuum it up.
