No matter what bodily fluid you’re dealing with, we’ve got the remedy—plus a tip to save you from stumbling through making their bed in the middle of the night.
It’s the worst morning surprise: your kid’s mattress soaked in pee, blood from a nosebleed or vomit. Soak up as much as you can, then try this:
How to get blood out of a mattress
- Pour a small amount of peroxide and dab the stain away. Repeat as needed.
- Rinse the peroxide out with water and allow to dry.
How to get vomit out of a mattress
- Generously sprinkle baking soda on the surface.
- Spray vinegar on top; let sit for a few hours, or until dry.
- Vacuum up the dried remnants, wipe with a wet cloth and let dry.
How to get pee out of a mattress
- Make up a solution of 2 tbsp baking soda and a few drops of Dawn Ultra dish soap. Add in 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide.
- Spray the area and let dry.
- Go over the spot with a steam vac, if you have one (they’re a solid investment!). Or apply disinfecting spray (half rubbing alcohol and half water works, too) over the dried stain to kill the smell.
Tip: Make a lasagna bed to preserve your mattress and save midnight sheet changes: Layer a waterproof mattress pad and a sheet, then another mattress pad and sheet set. In the event of a late-night accident or illness, strip a layer and throw it in the washer.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright
infringement? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either
authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it
is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
Do you know any solutions to help prevent content from being ripped off?
I’d really appreciate it.
Hello,
I bought the website like that but I’ve totally removed the automatic publishing plugin.
The last 45 articles are exclusive contents I wrote myself, as I’m a writer in France and a former journalist.
I write 1 to 2 articles a week.
Cheers
