Brilio.net - Mattresses are important furniture in the home because they provide comfort when sleeping. There are various types of mattresses that can be chosen according to your needs. However, because they are used every day, mattresses are at risk of becoming dirty due to sweat, spilled drinks and food, and children's urine. Children's urine stains on mattresses are often a problem, because even though they have been cleaned, the smell of urine can still remain. Many people solve this problem by sprinkling baking soda on the mattress, because this ingredient is known to be effective in absorbing unpleasant odors.
However, if you don't want to use baking soda, there is another trick that is just as easy. This trick was once shared by a user on TikTok with the account @ayieimron. The materials and tools needed can be found on the next page.
"The first thing we have to prepare is a spray (bottle), yes," said the owner of the TikTok account @ayieimron, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (24/12).
Then, fill the spray bottle with 1 sachet of fabric softener. You can use any type of fabric softener according to your taste. Then, pour in a little vinegar.
Yup, vinegar is the main kitchen ingredient to practice this trick to remove the smell of urine in the mattress. Vinegar is known to be able to transform clothes fragrances into much more fragrant. After that, dissolve both ingredients with enough water. Then stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

Next, spray the mixture of fragrance and vinegar on the mattress area that has a pee smell. Once done, just let it sit until the mattress is dry, guaranteed the pee smell will disappear and be replaced by a fragrance.
TikTok account owner @ayieimron also explained that you can also apply this mixture of fragrance and vinegar to other areas, such as curtains, sofas, carpets, and many more.
