#### **Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Solution**
In a spray bottle, combine:
– 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide
– 1 tablespoon baking soda
– 1 tablespoon dish soap
2. **Spray the Mattress**
Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients, then spray the mixture directly onto the urine stain. Saturate the area but avoid soaking it too much.
3. **Let it Sit**
Allow the solution to sit on the stain for about 10-15 minutes. The hydrogen peroxide will help break down the stain, while the baking soda absorbs odors.
4. **Blot the Area**
After the solution has sat for a while, take a clean towel and blot the area to remove the solution. Be sure to absorb as much moisture as possible.
5. **Let it Dry**
Let the mattress air dry. It may take several hours, so ensure the mattress is in a well-ventilated area.
6. **Vacuum the Mattress**
Once the mattress is completely dry, vacuum the area to remove any baking soda residue.
### **Why It Works:**
– **Hydrogen Peroxide** acts as a mild bleach and disinfectant that helps lift stains and kill bacteria.
– **Baking Soda** absorbs odors and helps lift the stain.
– **Dish Soap** helps break down urine proteins, making them easier to remove.
This method is especially useful for stubborn stains or when you need an extra boost to remove lingering odors.

Professional mattress cleaning companies have the specialized tools, cleaning agents, and expertise to tackle tough stains and odors without damaging your mattress.
#### **Why It Might Be Necessary:**
– **Deep Stains**: If the urine has soaked deep into the mattress, it might require more specialized cleaning methods to remove.
– **Persistent Odors**: Sometimes, even after cleaning, odors can linger due to deep absorption into the fabric. Professionals can use high-powered steam cleaners or odor neutralizers to fully eliminate the smell.
