Your feline was so scared that it projectile vomited before running off to hide under the bed. What do you do first?If you've got a good mattress cover, you've got nothing to worry about.
But you're in a panic so... Do not scream or yell. The most important thing you need to know about how to clean a mattress is to work quickly. So save your breath and run to the kitchen and grab: Step 1) Fill half the bowl with vinegar and fill the other half with water. Get back to the mattress without spilling the vinegar/water mix or dropping the other items.Step 2) Gently dab up the liquid mess with the paper towel. Carefully remove any sheets and mattress covers for later laundering. Press firmly with fresh towels to absorb more liquid. Do not squeeze or twist the foam.Step 3) Wet a paper towel with the vinegar/water solution and dab it where the urine and vomit were. Press in gently, then immediately use a fresh towel to dry it up. Keep this up until you've covered the entire stained area.Step 4) Then open the box of baking soda and pour it on top of the stain. Yes, the whole box. Spread it out so that you get a generous layer that extends a couple of inches beyond the stain(s).
Step 5) Let the baking soda sit there for a couple of hours. Then vacuum it up. Warning: This will cause the cat to fly out from under the bed like a miniature clawed tornado, which might scare the pee out of you. With any luck you'll have caught the spill in time and you won't have to do anything else. And your bed will smell clean and fresh.If this didn't work, go to "How to Clean a Mattress - Part 2" for the last thing you should try before throwing your memory foam mattress or topper away and buying a new one.

He's doing well on it, so we want to replace his crib with the brand new single bed we bought for the spare room. It is a high quality mattress and Box Spring including a high quality 2" thick memory foam topper from Costco.
Is it generally safe for his body, spine, etc and ok to transition a toddler from a firm crib mattress to a memory foam top mattress, or is it advised to just stick with the firmer mattress top for now? toddler safety bedtime bedroom crib Not medical advice, but from what I've seen, there's nothing explicitly wrong with a toddler sleeping on memory foam or similar. They're past the risk of SIDS, and while some people may be better off sleeping on hard mattresses for back support, it's not true that it is strictly better - it depends on the person. The main concern I'd have with memory foam is offgassing questionable organic compounds. Most of that offgassing happens early on (the first day or two if you air it out thoroughly), but some offgassing occurs all the time, and you do spend 1/3 of your life on your bed, potentially breathing in dangerous chemicals. I don't know enough to be an expert, and I use a memory foam mattress, so I certainly don't think it's that dangerous;
but it's a risk some people prefer to avoid. I would find out what your kid likes, and do that. If your kid likes the softer mattress, go for it. If not, stick with firmer. My oldest sleeps on a hardwood floor half the time because he really likes firm; my youngest just turned 1 and looks forward to sleeping on softer mattresses I'm fairly sure (given how much better he sleeps on our bed). Each kid is different.
