I have a really expensive Latex Mattress and last week my Hot Water Bottle leaked during the night and my bed was soaked. I realised almost as soon as it happened, and got a large towel over the area and more hot bottles on top to dry it up. Unfortunately there is now a horrid looking tide mark. Please can you help?

Tr this simple home remedy.
Wait for a nice bright sun-shiney day, (June, July, and August are the best months for this where I live here in the American Mid-west, but the stronger the sun the better). Thn take your mattress out side and lay it o the grass or on top of a pick-nik table, or patio, but get it out there in the sun by 10:00 AM, and leave it there all day long - in the sun - until 5:00 pm or so.-remember to move the mattress - if it will be
in the shadow of threes or the house - you want the sun to shine on it all day long.
I've used this "trick" to remove iron scorch marks from shirts & sheets. It's taken the urine spt and smell out of our boys matresses several times over the years are they've grown up. Want to freshen up spring and fall clothes and coats and clothes - get them out in the sun for an afternoon. Have a sick child or other family member to care for rotate their bedding - including pillows & pillow cases out in the sun - say on an open balcony for a few hours each afternoon. I do this all year around - except when it's raining or snowing, - but even if there is snow on the deck, I get one of the boys to clear it all away, and we lay all the bedding and pillows out in the cold air & weak sunshine to "air out" - then make the bed later for the feverish flue stricken, who say that 's the best thing they felt since they got sick.
There's also one other thing that you get as an extra benefit to laying your matress out to have the Sun bleach away the watermark, and that's the wonderful sunshine fresh smell you get when things get left out in the sun. It's as sweet as the aroma of a freshly powdered and dried baby just after her morning bath. Good luck Remember to get help moving that awkward mattress out of & back into the house and use you legs to lift - not your back. Good Luck.
I'm pulling for you.

We had one till last year when we got a really nice pillow top. Probably wouldn't have changed except we were on a trip to Vegas and the hotel mattress was so comfortable that we actually asked them for the brand and model and ordered one when we got home. Probably would still have the waterbed if we hadn't been so comfortable in the hotel bed for a week.

Just put sheets on the mattress like anybody should. Assuming that it is a nice mattress, you will keep it until it has been thouroughly worn out.
