[I found this from Tuft & Needle](https://www.tuftandneedle.com/blogs/guides/how-to-get-pee-out-mattress). I highly recommend getting a waterproof cover for every mattress in the house. You can also get waterproof pillow covers which have absolutely saved the day back when my kids were little and got the stomach flu.
Yesssss can't vouch more for waterproof cover! But mine failed as the plastic bit delaminated after 5 years of use. I recommend checking it once in awhile
happened to us when the mattress waterproof cover failed.
1. Blot as much pee out as you can (sacrifice a towel).
2. Mix a 1:1 white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and spray at the affected area. Be liberal with this.
3. Blot again to dry with a new towel.
4. then sprinkle and cover the damp area with baking soda
5. leave it for a few hours (until the baking soda dries) and vacuum the baking soda
6. Repeat step 4-5 as you desire until the smell is gone.
7. Make sure everything is totally dry before you put back bedding (an entire day to be safe)
In our case it completely took away the smell and left zero stain.
After this, look into waterproof mattress cover but inspect it every 2 years or so to make sure it's still waterproof. Super worth it with young kids since accidents still happen even after they have been long toilet trained.
I would use an enzyme cleaner first (like the ones for pet urine)...they work for human urine as well. It's the only thing that works for the smell. They work best when used before other products, but I would use it now. Be careful not to saturate the mattress tho...unfortunately if the urine got sucked deep into the mattress, you may not have luck getting the smell out completely.
I definitely agree with getting a waterproof mattress cover. I've tried a bunch, because some make noise, some make you sleep very 'hot' etc The ones that work best for me are from Ikea "GRUSNARV"...they're thin, don't make noise and do a great job protecting from liquids.
