    Does the mattress smell or is it just stained?  If it doesn't smell then I'd be tempted not to touch it.  If you get it too wet, it can be impossible to dry unless you have commercial grade dehimudifiers and can suspend the mattress off the ground.  A steam cleaner will probably be best but you'll have to try and mop/dab the stains off as you go.  If too much moisture gets into the mattress it will rust the springs (if it has any) and smell like damp.  We succesfully steam cleaned an old sofa once and it was fine, just try not to get too much steam in any one place for too long else moisture will build up and seep into the mattress.  But a sofa is pretty much hollow frame, so not as much risk of retaining damp 

    Hello, I fully agree with this advice.
    I think you should consider to clean it yourself if you can sleep in another bed for 2-3 weeks.
