Dog peed on bed

[Anonymous]

My 3 year old dog peed on my teen’s bed all of a sudden. He’s not allowed in our bedrooms so he snuck in and peed on the mattress.

Turns out he has a bladder infection and is now on antibiotics.

We washed everything and sprayed the mattress with natural’s miracle but I can still smell pee.

How to get that smell out of a mattress??

Vinegar and baking soda.

Steamer? From now on enclose the mattresses in a waterproof bedbug cover and mattress pad on top.

You can try to soak up more pee that may have soaked deeper into the mattress. Place something really heavy on a towel on the pee spot and leave it for a day. Then, sprinkle with baking soda and vacuum up several hours later. Sunlight is also pretty good at getting smells out.

Throw the mattress out. Get a new mattress (and cover as suggested).

Because you won't rid the mattress entirely of the dog pee, there's every chance he will return and do it again.

This is for cases of marking, not for illness.

Baking soda. My little poodle is a rescue and didn't know inside from outside when we got her. She peed a lot in a particular room before we figured it out. The smell was pretty bad. We had the carpets cleaned, and that didn't do it. What did fix it was covering the carpet with baking soda, leaving the windows open all day, then vaccuuming. Then covering with baking soda again, rinse repeat. Did that for a week or so and it worked.

A mattress is different though -- we could get baking soda into all of the carpet, but the pee could seep down into the mattress where you can't get at it. So YMMV.

Wrong on both counts. Dog will not return if it was because of sickness.
And do not throw a mattress out! Just rub in a baking soda/vinegar combo, let it dry, and then vacuum it. Then a mattress protector, whioch everyone should have anwyay.

I would get a new mattress and get covers for all of your mattresses going forward. Liquid penetrates a mattress too deeply IMO to get it out adequately.

No cleaning advice but I swear by these for the future, OP

Bio-Kleen Bac-Out is better than Nature’s Miracle (which is just exchanging one bad smell for another). I get it at Whole Foods.

This is the only real answer. The mattress will always smell, to some degree, like piss. It needs to be replaced.

Even if it was illness, the dog will smell urine and potentially urinate there again.
