Bad kitty + Leaky diapers = No problem

Have a cat or dog that has urinated on your bed due to bladder control issues or just out of spite? Or maybe your baby's diaper just couldn't last overnight?

Now you have a huge smelly urine stain on your mattress, what do you do?

I have the solution that works wonders and it even eliminates the odor from cat urine! You just have to grab some everyday items you already have in your cabinets.


For wet stains:
Baking soda
Vacuum 
White Distilled Vinegar
Warm Water
Washcloth

Directions: Poor baking soda onto the wet area and let it pull the urine out, which should turn the baking soda yellow. Vacuum up the baking soda.  Repeat this process until the baking soda is white. Then mix 1 part vinegar to 2 parts warm water and wipe over area with washcloth to get any odors out. 

For dry stains:
2 tablespoons baking soda
2 cups hydrogen peroxide
2 small squirts of liquid dish soap
Spray bottle

Directions: mix the solution in a spray bottle and saturate the stain.  Let it soak for approximately 5 minutes and then blot any excess mixture. Then take a warm water washcloth and wipe over the stain removing any excess solution. Reapply solution to areas where the stain has not lifted. Make sure to "rinse" the area with the warm washcloth every time the solution is applied and then let dry. 

You will be amazed at how easy and well this simple DIY stain remover works. I have used it to remove urine stains, as well as soda that was spilled on my mattress pad by my toddler after he slung my soda can around like a carnival prize!  

Next time you change those sheets and ugly yellow stains are staring back at you or your pet has an accident, give this DIY stain remover a try. You won't be disappointed!

Hello all and welcome to my new blog, "Two Cent Tips."

Foggy Country Morning View

I am a mom to a family of four living off of one income, which has taught me to be more frugal than I used to be.  I live on ten acres and through much research have found different ways to utilize our land and still survive comfortably.  I would love to share with you all what we as a family have learned and share our method to the madness!

This blog will include my favorite products, recipes, apps, money saving tips, animal care information I have accumulated throughout my many years as a veterinary technician, as well as, my zoology degree and much much more!

I hope you enjoy following along as much as I enjoy spreading my two cents.
