The Logic Verdict
My Take: The video author notes: “Urine can be a major headache to clean, as it’s known to have quite the pungent smell and can quickly spread through materials. If you, a family member, or a pet had an accident on a mattress and need to get the urine out, you’re in the right place.” In my experience, you should start by following the visual inspection steps shown in the video.
The Science
Urine dries into uric acid crystals which smell when humid. Soap won’t remove them.
Step-by-Step Removal
- Blot: Soak up liquid.
- Enzyme Cleaner: Saturate the area with an enzyme cleaner (like Nature’s Miracle).
- Wait: Let it sit for 15 mins.
- Blot & Dry: Blot up excess. Sprinkle baking soda to absorb moisture/odor. Vacuum when dry.
