Bedwetting is a common occurrence for young children. It’s usually a phase that passes as your child grows. When it occurs you need to take the right steps so that your mattress doesn’t get permanently ruined by mold or otherwise. Here are some helpful ways to maintain your mattress when it comes to bedwetting.

Waterproof Mattress Cover

When it comes to liquid messes such as urine you require a waterproof or plastic mattress cover. Inexpensive ones are usually just made of plastic material. Others types have features that provide a waterproof barrier and still allow the material to breathe. There may also be a difference in texture softness. This item prevents urine from soaking deep into the mattress material and causing problems.

Deodorizing

Urine often smells and gets worse over time as the liquid decomposes. To help the wet spot dry you should add baking soda to it. The baking soda needs to be applied when the stain is wet to optimize odor removal. You can still deodorize with baking soda when the stain is dry but it is less effective

Air Drying the Wet Spot

The urine needs to dry properly or you can end up with mold. You also won’t be able to use your mattress. Covering up the wet spot is highly problematic. To effectively dry the mattress, remove all the bedding and use a fan to circulate the air in the room. If the urine is on the side of the mattress as well the mattress should be placed on its side with the wet areas exposed so they can dry properly.

Professional Mattress Cleaning

Steam cleaning your mattress is the only way to properly clean mattress material. It’s recommended that you use professional steam cleaning services for mattress cleaning. Regular store bought machines lack important features such as water removal, pressurized water, and high water temperature. Often these machines over soak material and cause other problems you don’t want.
