2. Vacuum the mattress thoroughly to remove the baking soda.
3. Spot clean any areas of the mattress that are still soiled with dog urine or feces. Use a pet-specific cleaning solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water.
4. Dry the mattress completely before remaking the bed. Open the windows and doors to allow the mattress to air out, or use a fan to speed up the drying process.
Here are some additional tips for getting dog smell out of a mattress:
- If the dog smell is particularly strong, you may need to repeat the steps above several times.
- If you have a steam cleaner, you can use it to clean the mattress. Be sure to use a pet-specific cleaning solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water.
- If the dog smell is coming from a mattress topper, you may need to remove the topper and clean it separately.
- If the dog smell is coming from the box spring, you may need to replace the box spring.
