How to Remove Urine Odor from a Mattress

Removing urine odor from a mattress is no simple task — urine is an acidic substance packed with bacteria that cause the unpleasant smell.

If you search around online, you'll find plenty of methods and tips that simply don't work. Most of them — really, almost all of them — won't get the job done at all.

To properly remove urine odor from a mattress, you need to call in a company that specializes in this kind of treatment.

Solving the problem requires a thorough cleaning that pulls every last contaminant out of the upholstery.

Any partial or less-than-thorough solution simply won't fix the problem.

We've been helping our customers remove urine odor from mattresses for many years now. We do the work using a special machine that injects cleaning products with steam on one side while extracting everything — along with all the dirt — on the other.

To guarantee that urine odor is fully removed from a mattress or any other piece of furniture, we also spray an odor-neutralizing product that breaks down the bacteria responsible for the buildup of those unbearable smells.

After a urine odor removal treatment, how soon can we sleep on the mattress again?

On warm days in well-ventilated spaces, drying time is about 4-8 hours after the cleaning is finished.

In winter or in less ventilated rooms, drying times can stretch to 12-24 hours in the worst case.

Is there a way to protect the mattress from urine stains without using a cover?

Absolutely — beyond cleaning and removing urine odor from mattresses, we can also apply a professional stain-repellent treatment to mattresses.

In the event of an accident, the treatment keeps the mattress from absorbing liquids. It works especially well on sofa fabrics, rugs, and children's beds, where it provides 100% protection.

On mattress fabric, the treatment still provides roughly 80% protection, since mattresses have many seams and stitched sections through which liquid can still be absorbed.

Does it matter when the accident happened relative to when you book the service?

Absolutely — the sooner we carry out the urine odor removal treatment, the greater the chance of removing the stains as well.

As we mentioned, urine is acidic, and because of that it oxidizes the fabric fibers, causing brown or yellow discoloration that cannot be removed by any method.

How much does urine odor removal from a mattress cost, and what's your availability?

For example, a thorough cleaning of a double mattress on all sides, including an odor-neutralizing treatment at the end, runs between 400 and 550 NIS, depending on the fabric type and mattress size.
