How do I clean a mattress after a urine accident in Nairobi?
Urine on a mattress must be treated quickly to prevent permanent staining and odour. This is most common with young children or pets, but the treatment is the same in either case.
Immediate Treatment (Fresh Accident)
- Blot — never rub – Use a thick pile of paper towels or a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible by pressing firmly; stand on the cloth if needed for maximum absorption
- Cold water rinse – Apply a small amount of cold water to dilute remaining urine and blot again; repeat once
- Apply enzyme cleaner – This is critical: enzyme-based pet/urine cleaner (e.g., Biological Washing Liquid, or specialist enzyme cleaner) breaks down uric acid crystals that cause permanent odour. Apply generously, cover with plastic wrap, and leave 4–8 hours to work
- Bicarb soda after drying – Once the enzyme treatment has dried, sprinkle baking soda generously over the area; leave 4–8 hours; vacuum thoroughly
For Old or Set Urine Stains
Dried urine stains have crystallised uric acid deep in the mattress foam. Applying more water reactivates the odour. Professional steam extraction combined with enzyme pre-treatment is the most effective method for old stains.
