HELP!!! How do I clean a travel cot mattress?

[alison222]

Mindee took nappy off during her nap and has saturated the mattress.
How best to clean it given they are backed with card/plyboard or something hard?

Oh and I need to get it dry before tomorrow.

oh no, erm what about sticking it in a bath full of milton? thats what i would do and then hang it on the line and then in the airing cupboard over night after most of the water had drained out?

or if too big to hang could you try and balance it so its on its side but just off the floor?

thats nice sounds like your having a nice day

I ended up scrubbingit with carpet cleaner and showering it then hanging it against a radiator to dry. Smell seems to have gone and its dry now in time for a lunchtime nap.

Mum has now sent her in a poppered vest so fingers crossed she won't do it again.

Apparently she likes to fiddle with her tummy button when falling asleep which is why they had stopped using them, so we'll see how well she sleeps today.....
