Brilio.net - Mattresses are one of the important pieces of furniture in the house, because they can make your sleeping position more comfortable. However, because it is used every day, it is not surprising that the mattress gets dirty quickly. The types of dirt vary, from sweat, drink and food ingredients, to children's urine.
If your child has already wet the bed, cleaning the mattress becomes homework in itself. The reason is, even though it has been cleaned in such a way, usually the smell of urine from bed urine can still be smelled strongly on the mattress. This certainly makes the mattress uncomfortable to use, right?
If you experience a similar incident, you don't need to worry, because there are effective tricks to overcome it. A young father once showed me how to get rid of the smell of urine on a mattress. Apart from being effective, the method also tends to be practical because you don't need to bother drying the mattress outside the house.
To get rid of the smell of urine on his mattress, this young father seems to rely on a sachet of clothes freshener. However, to ensure maximum results, he also deliberately added one kitchen ingredient as a mixture.
Reported by BrilioFood from the YouTube gizta channel on Friday (19/4), first put water in a spray bottle. Then pour one sachet of clothing freshener into the bottle. Don't forget, also add additional ingredients, namely table vinegar, to it.
"Just a little vinegar, friends, because it functions as an antibacterial," he explained.

Not only that, the content in vinegar is also effective in eliminating unpleasant odors. Reporting from apartmenttherapy.com, the acetic acid content in vinegar can neutralize the alkaline smell of urine. Therefore, the smell of urine can disappear compared to if the mattress is only washed with detergent.
After that, close the spray bottle and shake the solution that has been made. Once done, spray the solution over the entire surface of the mattress evenly and thoroughly.

After spraying it evenly, let the mattress sit for a few moments to dry. If you want to be quick, you can direct the fan in front of the mattress. Without needing to dry it in the sun, the mattress will be perfectly dry and free from the smell of urine.
