 Cleaning Tip: Urine on a Mattress - It's important to keep in mind that actually cleaning the urine stain is important. Since bacteria are found in urine, leaving a stain untreated for an extended period can result in the growth of fungus and mold in the mattress.
Tips & Tricks to Remove Urine from Mattress-
Vinegar: Pour a moderate amount of vinegar on the soiled area, and absorb excess liquid with a large towel or wet vacuum. This will lift the smell and bacteria not the stain. [br]Shampoo: Liquid Laundry Detergent with a small amount of water will help to remove the new stain but not an old stain.
Steam Cleaning: Whenever possible, consider using a hot steam cleaner on mattresses with urine stains. Used with a cleansing agent, steam cleaning is usually quite effective at removing the physical stain, eliminating the smell of urine, and killing bacteria that may otherwise grow and spread.
Green Tip: Unplug appliances such as coffeemakers and cell phone chargers when not in use. Many electric appliances continue to consume a small number of watt-hours of power even when switched to off.
Time Saving Tip: Skip ironing and get wrinkles out of a shirt or pair of trousers by putting them in the dryer for 15 minutes with a damp hand towel.
Financial Tip: Movies can be expensive. Rather than viewing each release during its main run, try and wait until the show comes out in the "dollar movies" or on video. With a bit of patience, you can realize family savings of around $20 per video as compared to a family trip to the theater. Save the theater for the really much anticipated films.
