My boyfriends ex girlfriend "soaked" through his mattress 3 years ago and he hasnt been able to get the stain out. We have to have someone come look at our mattress for a warranty issue and per OSHA they can't unless the stain is GONE! I tried hydrogen peroxide and it just changed the color to an orange rust color. Please Help!

Try Oxi Clean...the powder kind you have to mix yourself. Mix it with hot water and douse the area. Let it dry completely. Then use a plastic protective cover before you use it again. Also, try Carbona. It is a line of products, usually found in the laundry/cleaning section at Walmart. They make an upholstery cleaner that should work (you could even try the carpet cleaner). Carbona products can work miracles! Just make sure to let the mattress dry completely before use no matter which cleaner you use.

Good luck!

Wow, she left quite an "impression".... Well, you could try to use a bit of shaving cream and a soft bristle toothbrush wet with cold water to get rid of the "stain".... You might have to try acouple applications since it's been there awhile. Blot with a soft light towel and repeat... Do not over saturate the stain with water for you'll end up with a mildew problem.. Good luck and have your bf..go to the store for a waterproof mattress protector they are fairly inexpensive and worth every penny.. In case of future accidents it can just go right into the wash... good luck

That might be tough, since 3 years is a long time. Squirt stain removers you use on clothes on it, then wipe it off with water or something. Or, try scrubbing with an ice cube. What about bleach?

Super gross. Try the following: salt and soda water combo, tide, oxy clean. Otherwise, just get a new mattress. I can't believe you've been sleeping on top of HER stain. It's utterly disgusting.

I don't think there is a way at this point, other than fire.
