In spite of using a mattress pad, I've discovered a soiled area on it and don't know the best way of spot cleaning a mattress. I am not sure what the soil is, but I do have dogs that occasionally forget they are not allowed on the bed. I'm sure it's not dog feces or urine but it could possibly be vomit and someone in the household tried to clean it up and didn't tell Mom.
It doesn't have an odor. Nancy from Fort Smith, AR Answers:Cleaning a Stain Off a MattressTry an enzyme based stain digester, available in the pet section at most stores.

If you live where it is possible, you could put it outside in the sun to air out and freshen up. By m.b.wrightCleaning a Stain Off a MattressI would soak the area with vinegar to remove any smell. It may take a day or two to dry but I've never had any problems soaking an area with vinegar.

By KTCleaning a Stain Off a MattressWhen my grand-baby came home from the hospital I had just gotten a new mattress. I didn't have the zip cover on it yet! But a friend of mine said to rub corn starch into the wet spot, let it dry, and vacuum it off. That has been 10 years ago. I still have the mattress and you would never know it happened.
