FelinePersuasion -> Getting stains out of a latex matress? (6/27/2007 5:58:10 PM)

I have a matress protector, but have discovered the batting on some of it has torn clean away, there for it no longer protects the matress, there is one soda stain and some other lighter unidentifiable stains prolly sweat, on my cotton topped matress. I tried to use carpet stain remover, only thing it acomplished was wetting the matress.

How, if I can do I remove stains from this matress? thei nners is like memory foam, but latex and more breathable than memory.

I haven't read the other posts but...here's my solution:

Get a small 1 gallon container.

Mix 25% Chlorox (or whatever bleach is on sale...whatever is the cheapest will work fine) with water.

Pour same into a small spray bottle.

Of course, remove all bedding prior to.

Open windows (it's still, even at that slight dilution, rather strong).

Get some crappy cloths to use....something you won't mind if the bleach destroys (think '70's...tie die).

Set small box fan over damaged area.

Spray lightly over the stained area...as needed.

Briskly wisk your cloths over same (again...damaged area).

Have Yellow Pages at the ready.

Order new mattress.

(Set couch up with nice clean blankets until mattress company arrives).

Let me know if this helped.

stef -> RE: Getting stains out of a latex matress? (6/27/2007 8:08:27 PM)

Did you ask anyone from the store where you purchased the mattress what the best way to clean such stains might be?

You have the internet at your finger tip's!
 
You know about Google don't you?
 
I don't understand why you bring such questions to the boards here??[8|]
 
Common sense, usually works in these kind of situations.
 
Sorry,..... Yes I own sounding like a  shit ass bitch, but come on, most of you know you've rolled
your eye's too....taking off the kid gloves for a sec....

Because I can, because there's no rule against it, and because the internet turned up a bunch of useless junk. Because perhaps maybe the same information posted would be useful to others.

If you don't like it why don't you ignore it?

Contact the store, or contact the manufacturer (egads sp) via email if you don't want to call. If it is brand new you don't want to damage it yet by using home methods although the bleach/fan idea is pretty good.

This will take the stain out of anything.

I would check where you purchased, to make sure it doesn't void the warranty.

Oh believe me I do ignore most of your posts, as I find most worth nothing more than an eyeroll, such as; how do I plant and care for a this kind of plant, now I know you can find that in a zillion places on Google. IMO, I think it has more to do with laziness, than just because you can or any need or desire to help others.

I'm not supposed to get ANY stains, but the damb batting in the protector tore out in huge chunks in area's , and so those area's are not protected.

That's easy.
Take it out in the back yard, toss a half gallon of gasoline on it and light a match.
Buy a new mattress.
Vualah!
Problem solved.
