How do you clean a wet bed?

[dingdongmerrilyonFLIER]

We've had a few over the last wee while (ds 4), and I'm interested to know your best ways of cleaning down the bed, or what cleaning products you use to do so, I don't want to be left with the smell of urine.

anyone around?

sorry dingdong not sure how to clean it, but to help... we put those disposable bed sheets under the sheet on my ds2's bed while potty traing, at least then the mattress didn't get soaked if there was an accident. Think they're by pampers .

I usually use handwash or soap rubbed into mattress, then go over with hot water a few times then dry with towel, then leave to air all day, then turn mattress over. This is the only thing i find works, i've tried other products but you can still smell urine after couple of days.

Cat litter - put some over te damp patch leave it for a few hours and it will soak up all of the liquid and draw the dampness out of the matress - vacuum and then attack with an upholsery cleaner not wetting it to much though and then stand matress up against rad.

DD was a prolific bed wetter and we used ths for all of her accidents!

thanks littleboo and cluckiemama.

I should have said I use one of the mothercare mattress protectors but there have been occasions when it has missed this.

Oh and use pampers bed mat things - are great and rather than have to wash you just chuck them away!

persoanlly if have an entire waterprof cover on every mattress any child was ever likely to sleep on all the time

cover it with a matress protector and a another waterproof sheet / mat type thing before the bed sheet, so even if it gets wet there is still always a waterproof protector.

You can get them for about £1 in wilkinsons so they are NOT expensive
