Dog peed on a futon mattress. Can anything be done?

Ummm . . . . yeah.  I'm a dog (and cat) lover.  But if I had a soiled mattress I'd throw it out and buy a new one!

 

If you use an enzyme based stain/odor remover like Nature's Miracle (which certainly will probably work to remove the odor and stain) be aware that you want to soak it well and allow it to dry as slowly as possible.  All those lovely enzymes need time to do their work, and so it needs to dry slowly.  No fans or anything like that to speed the process.  You may need to repeat two or three times.

Before throwing it out, I'd try dragging it outside and putting on a table and pouring soapy water by the bucketful through the mattress.  It will take a lot, because you want to push all of the dog pee out.  Then use the hose to rinse the soap out.  Then walk on it to squeeze out as much water as possible.  Then use a shop vac to suck out as much water as possible.  Then leave it outside on the table to dry.  Once it's dried out it should be clean (really clean, not just odor masked).  You may need to move it to a sheltered spot to dry if it's rainy.  If you have dry heat in the house, it might dry better inside (but if you don't, you probably don't want to add a lot of moisture to your house).

I wonder if you could do this in a bathtub instead? If it were me, I'd probably try that or saturate it several times with Nature's Miracle. Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I thought it was a goner, but I will try one of the enzyme products. We will probably be replacing it soon but right before Christmas, we really prefer not to both for time and $$. It had a cover on it  and came with another cover sewn on, so the cover absorbed quite a lot.
