Toddler peed on my lovely pillow topped mattress!!!

My waters broke while we were watching a video. I'd been perched on the edge of my chair for about twenty minutes because I needed a wee. At a lull in the action I stood up to go to the loo and KERBLOOEY!! :laugh:
I'd had my feet up on the coffee table, on a towel, so I grabbed that and jumped on it - then got a fit of the chronic hysterical giggles, as all I could see was my dog across the other side of the room, watching what was going on with a look on her face of "oh, how uncouth! I'd get hell, if I did that!". She was totally disgusted with me. :rotfl:
I've got a pillowtop mattress and had the very same thing happen. I grabbed as many towels as I could lay my hands on and blotted and blotted and blotted and blotted .. even using kitchen roll to blot, when the towels weren't getting any more out. After that, I made up a solution of bicarb in warm water and, using a small sponge, worked it into the mattress very very gently, a tiny bit at a time .. blotting and blotting each time.
Once I felt it smelled decent (and I'd run out of towels), I left it uncovered with the window open - then when it looked like it needed a drying boost, gave it what for with the hairdryer. Got it dry before bedtime! :T
The next day, I sprinkled dry Bicarb on it and left it for a couple of hours, then vacuumed it off. Its been fresh as a daisy ever since.You can see something happened (its a cream coloured mattress), but not what, thank goodness!
