    When kids were small I used to use 1001 cleaner . I suppose you could use a carpet and upholstery cleaner as it is really just upholstery after all.A steam cleaner would kill any germs.

    I find white spirit an excellent cleaner for carpets and upholstery. Why not try putting a little on a cloth and gently rubbing the stains.

    Could always invest in a mattress protector which they sell at Boots and primark and are washable?
