Answer 1

Preventing & Removing Mattress Stains
A clean mattress is the only way to sleep. A mattress saturated with water will eventually deteriorate and compound the problem with a really bad smell. Here's how to stop mattress stains before they happen and what to do if they've already happened:

Don't eat or drink on a mattress. Obviously you don't want to be eating or drinking on your mattress. Even a water spill can allow moisture to infiltrate the material within the mattress, causing the deterioration of the material, mold growth, and bad smells. Don't use your mattress for a dining room table, even if you live in a dorm.

Get a protective mattress pad. If you can't stop yourself from eating or drinking on your mattress, or if you have a bed wetter in the mix, get a protective mattress pad. Replacing a mattress pad is way cheaper than replacing a mattress.



Don't use protective chemicals on a mattress. Stain preventing chemicals are meant for carpets and rugs, not for mattresses. Eventually those chemicals will spread to your sheets and you'll start to get rashes and irritated skin.
Soap and water will get mattress stains out. Most mattress manufacturers will recommend using a mixture of soap and water and then spreading lightly (not pouring) it over the affected area. Scrub thoroughly and then dab dry with an absorbent towel. Make sure you dry it as thoroughly as possible.
Steaming cleaning will remove mattress stains. If soap and water didn't work, try renting a powerful steam cleaner with a handheld attachment. Whatever you do, don't use harsh chemicals and make sure you do your best to dry the area you've cleaned. An absorbent powder like baking soda probably wouldn't hurt.

Mattress Cleaning Services
If prevention didn't work and you just can't seem to get that stain or that funny smell out of your mattress, there are a number of online vendors offering mattress cleaning services out there. But do your search before deciding on which service you choose; check the prices, read the small print, and send them an email to make sure you know who you're dealing with or to ask any questions you might have about their business policies.

The only thing I knwo that removes stains from bedding is hot soapy water and a rag and you have to damp at the stain till it comes out..you could try a very week solution of washing powder or bleach and I mean a very mild solution! have a portable fan blowing on the mattress while you work and make sure the cloth you use is new and free from grease etc.

Dab lightly at the stain do not rub at all, you may have to repeat this several times till the stain comes out.

Candle wax on the carpet, scrape off as much wax with a knife (back of the knife) as possible. grab some absorbent paper and a iron place the absorbent paper over the wax, heat the iron to a moderate tempature and iron over the wax with the paper towel between the wax and the iron as the wax melts the paper towel will absorb it, you can also use brown paper, I find this works better in most case......BUT MAKE SURE THE IRON IS NOT TO HOT AS IT CAN MELT YOUR CARPET IF IT IS NOT A NATURAL MATERIAL!

Answer 3

You must be quite a spaz, huh?

The water stains won't come out, don't bother, you'll just make them worse. The yellow tint comes from the material inside the stain. If you use the mattress as intended, hopefully you'll have many, many more sweat and other stains on it before you're through.

As for the candle wax, use a dull knife to scrape most of it out, then steam clean that spot (the heat will melt the wax and the detergent will lift it from the fibres.

Answer 4

If it is expensive have a service come out and do it, so you don't end up waterlogging the padding with too much fluid. As for the wax, try VM&P naphtha, which is $7 at the hardware store. It evaporates quickly and dissolves wax, grease, ink, etc. It will not affect finishes. If the carpet is a natural fiber rug rather than olefin or some other synthetic fiber, ask the service to clean it.
