Bad bedwetting accident! Need cleaning advice.?

My sons' friend slept over last night. My family has known for years that he is a bedwetter. Not a problem. We always have protective bedding for him. Recently we bought a 3 piece living room set. The kids are attracted to the new furniture because it has that new kind of memory foam in the cushions and it's super comfortable. It's advertised on TV for regular beds but it's made into living room furniture as well. I took the waterproof mat on the couch and placed extra blankets on the side for more protection. Our guest had a grin on his face and said that it still felt comfortable. Some time during the night he got up and walked over to an UN protected piece of furniture and slept there instead and peed on it. He left right away in the morning. My son discovered it and the whole family is upset over it. My son wants to fight him but I won't let that happen. They go to different schools so I keep them away from each other,





I called his mom and told him everything. He peed on her furniture before too. She told me that she used a carpet cleaner for own furniture when this happened. She has the more traditional type of cushions though. Would this work on memory foam? Would it get damaged permanently if it gets really wet from that? Can I get the cushions dry cleaned instead? What's the best way to clean this? Anybody know? Bad bedwetting accident! Need cleaning advice.?
I suggest calling the furniture store where you purchased the sofa. They will tell you what to do.Bad bedwetting accident! Need cleaning advice.?
A product called Nature's Miracle for carpet stains works! Basically drench the area with Nature's Miracle and then walked on a few dry towels over the area to sop some of the liquid up. After a day of drying, the odor and stain will be completely gone, with no remnants of odor. You can pick it up at PetsMart. It's about $30 for 1.5 gallon container.
i highly doubt water is going to damage memory foam. could it be any more damaged at this point?





His worthless mother should reimburse you if it cant be cleaned satisfactorily.
stanley steamer are specialists at situations at this call up and schedule an appointment.
borax works wonders.
Call a cleaning lady, and tell ur sons freind mom to put a litter box in his room
Call either the store or the actual manufacturer. That way you know exactly what to do. As everyone says, better safe than sorry. Would suck to ruin your new furniture trying to save a few bucks.





After you find out what to do, call her and tell her. She can't really argue if you're only going by what the makers of it told you.





He should know better. And if he can't help it, his mother should take the necessary precautions so he doesn't do to others what he has done to her own house...you know, make him wear those underpants at night and such. If my kid was 13 and still pissing the bed, I wouldn't stop dragging him to doctors until we got it fixed. Just saying though, lol.
i must say, i am shocked to read that you find the kids responsible and are banning him from the house!! even though he is 13 it is highly unlikely that he moved to another piece of furniture on purpose to pee on it and ruin it! You ought to be ashamed of yourself for blaming someone. It happens, no matter what the age. If your grandma came over and peed on your couch becuase she wasn't wearing depends, would you ban her from the house too? if your husband had a poker game and a buddy drank too much and peed on your couch in his sleep, would he be banished?





just call a good carpet/upholstry cleaner and get over it!





wow, you are really missing the point in your reply back to me. bedwetting is a medical problem. yes, he did move at night, but you surely sound like a very rude and uptight person. it is really sad to think that you would loose such a close friendship over an accident. i hope you are not that rigid with your own kids too!
I agree amber. This is kind of sad. he was probably half asleep and uncomfortable didn't even realize he was moving to another piece of furniture. If i were you i would call the manufacturer and get the low down on how to clean it.


I'm a bit of an OCD but I'm much kinder and have patience with children. I wouldn't treat a child this way.
