Brilio.net - Mattress is one of the important furniture in the house that plays a big role in providing comfort when sleeping. Various types of mattresses are available on the market, allowing selection according to individual needs and preferences. However, because it is used every day, the mattress is prone to getting dirty due to various factors such as sweat, spilled drinks and food, to children's pee.
Children's bedwetting stains are often an annoying problem. Even after cleaning, the lingering smell of urine can be very disturbing. One popular way to deal with this problem is by using baking soda. This ingredient, which is commonly used in baking, is known to be effective in absorbing unpleasant odors, so many people rely on it to clean their mattresses.
For those who don't want to use baking soda, there are still other alternatives that can be tried. Several simple tricks have been shared by social media users, as seen on the TikTok account @ayieimron. There, the various materials and tools needed to clean the mattress from stains and odors are discussed in detail, providing practical solutions for anyone facing similar problems.
"The first thing we have to prepare is a spray (bottle), yes," said the owner of the TikTok account @ayieimron, quoted by brilio.net on Monday (17/2).
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.
