Lots of wicked comments spring to mind regarding 'never too young for a ........'.

Won't make them for fear of being barred from VetSurgeon!

Thanks Clare, already used the Bissell pet stain carpet cleaner, but I'll go and see if the village shop has some ariel and use that too, before it dries.

God what a morning. Daughter returned to her bed, said she didn't need the loo (which seemed plausible given the state of our bed), then peed all over that one too. But at least that's just a cheap single one.

Meanwhile daughter 2 now off school due to being woken by Daddy's dawn chorus, and I think the wife is calling round a few divorce lawyers.

Probably best to get it checked out in any case, quick rectal this morning. Suspect the wife will be more than happy to drive you.

If you have a Bissell carpet cleaner use that; use plenty of water and a scented detergent; the most important thing - difficult if you're in the middle of floods - is to get it out into sunlight for as long as you can, it'll pass the sniff test in a week or so, don't fret

[quote user="Arlo Guthrie"]Not sure whether 'pet stain remover and deodoriser' was the best thing to do, if anyone else with experience in this field has any tips, I'd be most grateful.[/quote]Definitely, you just have to keep it damp for several days while the stuff does its business breaking down the ammonium compounds to innocuous, odourless constituents. We have saved beds, cars, carpets and soft furnishing from spilled milk, animal and human excreta.

This works well for carpets, settees and car interiors that can be left to fester for a few days, however not so good for a bed you've got to sleep in tonight! But once you've started using disinfectant products it inactivates the enzymes in the odour eliminator.

It may be the settee for you tonight Arlo!

[quote user="Clare Tapsfield-Wright"]Ariel biological washing liquid[/quote]

This is a good tip, oft used to remove the smell of Tom cat piss from walls and furniture, which, unless you are a testosterone machine, smells far more pungent than human urine.

It worked for me at uni when my brother decided to use my carpet as a urinal in his semi-comatose semi-pissed state after a large night.

Also , if you do find there's a faint whiff every time you open the bedroom door then don't put up with it just buy a new mattress and forget about it. There are enough unavoidable compromises we make and life's too short not to have a lovely bed for the limited time you get to spend in it.

Clare Tapsfield-Wright — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 07:48:22 GMT

Hi Arlo , my sympathy . I don't know if you have a Vax or silimilar carpet cleaner but I recommend Ariel biological washing liquid used instead of carpet shampoo , much cheaper too , and then if the forecast is good dry it outside or put a dehumidifier next to the mattress.

Laughed out loud. Thanks JGW - that was the very same page I found on my ipad in between effing and blinding at 5.00 this morning. All the advice I've found so far assumes that the, er, incident is dealt with quickly, whereas in my case, it must have happened some time before I woke up. Toyed with the idea of heaving the mattress outside, hosing it down and leaving it to dry for a week. But think that might make it worse, so I think the only answer is probably what I've done already, then turn the mattress over when it's dry and try and pretend it never happened!

That, or remortgage for another mattress (it wasn't cheap, but it was life-changing for someone with metal pins in their back).
