Kinky Mattress

[Shorty]

Since giving up cleaning on luxury overseas boats last year due to knee problems, I appear to have been given a reprieve by the Doctors, who have decided to put off my knee replacements for another two years at least.

Consequently, the interior decorator that gave me this lucrative work is happy again once more.

I've done a fair amount of work for her this last month, yesterday she turned up with this little doozy for me.

The hand written description reads:

Composition: Natural Latex Core, surrounded with layers of 250g New Zealand Eco Wool & 100% Cotton inner cover.

We poured vinegar onto it.



They told me that someone had had an accident on it, urine.

It also appears to have cellulosic browning (water marks).

Usually I would have used Peeradicator, but not on this one.

Any suggestions ??.

Due to it's shape, size & weight, I can only do one side, get it dry & then do the other side.

Thanks,

Shortwun.

No idea
Surprised?

Nah, not really.

I'm sure Richard will have an opinion though.

Is the cotton or the wool on the outside?

If the cotton is on the outside: Treat with enzyme to reach the urine and latex (you may need to come back as the enzymes may take some time to do the work) and later use a white cotton cleaner on the outside cotton only, if indeed browning. If you can insert a piece of plastic between the wool and cotton, you will not need to wait for the enzymes to do the work.

Thanks Ofer, due to the weight & shape, I'm unable to insert plastic.

I had in mind to do what you have suggested, however, I can only do one side at a time to allow it to dry, otherwise I'll also end up with a mould problem as well.

Even though humidity is a low 54% & temp is a mere 82f, I do expect the rH to rise this afternoon.

And YES, the outer cotton is WHITE, naturally.
