Someone wet the bed in our camper -Help!

We loaned our bunkhouse camper to a friend last week to go to a convention because they couldn't afford a hotel. Her son who is about 12 wet the beds in the foam mattress bunks. I think he did it multiple times, and he is a big kid. The camper smells horrible ( They hauled rabbits in it too). I washed the outside with vinegar and water, but I think the smell goes all through the foam. I've got the mattresses outside to air out. Has anyone gotten the smell out of a bunk after a bed wetting incident? If I take the foam out of the mattresses and immerse it in water and laundry soap will it ruin the shape of the foam? Thanks for any help.

  • I fault the despicable parents, obviously they must have known that their kid was a bed wetter and didn't provide a rubber sheet etc

  • Yup, live and learn...sorry this happened to you, after being kind enough to help out a friend! I would definitely replace the mattress, give the camper a good cleaning. I would not want to use the mattress anyway, even if you could get the smell out.

  • get a ozone machine off amazon and run it in the camper around 8 hours and do it monthly till all oders,are gone
  • any body considering renting out/ loaning out their RV should read this thread.

  • There is a product we sold when we had a pet shop called "Natures Miracle"
    They have both a cleaner and a surface spray. We have even had success with some of their products on skunk smell. They arent perfect, but they are pretty good.
    Try those, they are available at pet shops.
  • We didn't know that they would put rabbits in the camper, or that the kid wets the bed. I've known this family for years and she is a good friend, so this was completely unexpected. I probably will have to replace the mattresses. You live and learn. Thank you.
  • What were you thinking? If they couldn't afford a motel they should have stayed home. Rabbits too? Sounds like maybe you asked for it...Sorry. Best replace the mattress.
