Human Urine Stain on Bed.
I have had several medical issues over the past 2 or 3 years. This is really embarrassing, but I have urinated in my bed several times. I have recently bought a plastic cover to go over the mattress along with a bottle of renuzit fabric refresher. It seemed like it would work at first, but the smell came back. I then tried powdered pet carpet deodorizer and it's better, but not completely gone. I don't have the money to replace the mattress or it would be out of here! Do any of you have any suggesstions on how to get the smell and stains out of the mattress? Thank you in advance for your time in answering my question. God Bless!

Try a mix of chlorine and pinesol, specially pinesol (floor cleaner) that gets rid of the smell like a charm
take it out, let it air dry on the sun

Call someone who cleans carpet and tell them that you have a mattress that needs to be cleaned. My father used to do that for a living. It can be done. Good Luck.

You are not alone, and the solution is easy. PetSmart has 2 products that have worked wonders for me. Stink Free is in the cat section and Petzyme is in both dog & cat areas. They are both enzymatic odor removers, and work best if you use both- Stink Free first(this stuff is amazing- it gets rid of cat urine stink, which is the hardest to eliminate, but also works on human urine smell), then Petzyme after the Stink Free has dried completely. You have to completely saturate the area & let it soak all the way down. You will still have some spots on your matress, but the urine smell will be completely gone. You can use a surface cleaner after the odor problem is gone to minimize the spots. Best of luck to you!

try vinegar, maybe try to soak it, not too wet, but wet enough and see if that changes anything? of course, the vinegar might not smell too great!
or can you try warm salt water? there is a product at kroger, i think it's by the rug doctor, that's made for urine, pet urine, but i think it might work

You can actually steam clean your mattress...very carefully. You can rend a steam cleaner from Home Depot for very cheap. If you don't want to do that you could vaccum your mattress with that deodorizer and see if that helps! Good luck :)

GO to the pet store and buy Simple Solution or any cleaner like it that they have. You pour it on to saturate it then blot up the excess and let it dry. The solution as bacteria in it which eat up the urine. I am a pet sitter and use these type cleaners in my house when dogs have accidents. It works very well and will take out the smell as long as you get to the source(letting it saturate deep enough).
Hope this helps.

Deoderizing it is just masking the problem. I bet you could look on the internet. You may find some solutions there. Also, I agree with others, call a carpet cleaning place, or mattress place and ask.

We would be happy to clean your mattress. We would clean and sanitize it and if necessary use a urine removal product - but hopefully that will not be necessary. The stain may be permanent but the odor should be able to be removed but either way - the mattress should be cleaned and sanitized.

There are products out there just for this purpose - you are far from being the only one with this problem! Unfortunately I don't know the names of them (I think I've heard of one tactfuly called Urine B Gone!)- I just know of them mainly from my dad caring for my mom during a long 10 year illness and a lot of accidents on beds, chairs and wheelchairs. You can't smell a thing on any of them now. They also make these products for dealing with animal urine - I don't know if those might be any cheaper.
