How to remove urine stains from a mattress

I know, it's kind of gross. But lets be honest here, everyone who has had a child knows that they pee in their beds (and ours).  When we bought our new house we also bought a brand new mattress, which four years and two babies later has seen it's better days.  Changing the sheets makes me cringe and I have always dreaded the day when we will have to kick it to the curb because the thought of someone seeing it is just embarrassing! Some of us get smart and buy mattress pads, but for those of you who never did, or maybe did but it was far too late, this concoction will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND!  It's so simple, easy and it takes almost no effort at all and it actually works MIRACLES.  I am so kicking myself in the butt right now for not taking before and afters!!

Here's what you will need:

• measuring cup
• empty spray bottle
• 10 oz hydrogen peroxide
• drop of dish soap 
• 2-3 tbs baking soda

Here's what to do:

1. Measure out your 10oz of hydrogen peroxide in the measuring cup 
2. Add your 3tbs of baking soda to the hydrogen peroxide and mix until dissolved 
3. Pour the mixture into your spray bottle and add a drop of the dish soap
4. Shake and spray, spray, spray!!

Additional Notes:

I let the spray set in for about an hour with the ceiling fan going on high.  When I came back the stains were gone.  I didn't even touch it.



UPDATE:
This recipe has saved us on so many occasions, however like others have pointed out the mixture does have a tendency to get clogged in the spray bottle.  I have graduated to sprinkling the baking soda directly onto the mattress and spraying the soap and hydrogen peroxide mixture directly onto the mattress.  I rub it a little with a rag and vacuum when it has dried.  A little messier than the original recipe, however a lot less frustration with the clogged bottle!!
