How to Remove Urine Stains from Mattress
Had an accident? Here's how to fix it.
Steps
Dampen the affected area, but do not saturate it. Wetness spreads the urine.
Heavily sprinkle with borax like a shaker would; cover the whole area.
Rub borax into the mattress. Work borax into spill or stain well.
Vacuum up the powder.
Tips
Use a liquid proof mattress cover to prevent stains from occurring.
Use remaining borax to boost laundry.
Warnings
Borax is anhydrous and toxic so wash your hands with lots of soap and water and do not rub your eyes or touch your face.
Keep children away while you are working.
* Abandon all hope if you have a latex foam mattress, they act like giant sponges and are almost impossible to remove stains from as the liquid that would remove the stain is simply wicked deeper into the foam

They make urine removal cleaners, but I usually find them in pet stores or in the pet department of stores.
