Someone wet the bed in our camper -Help!

Never saw a motel or hotel you could bring rabbits into....Are sure they couldn't afford it or did they just want to bring the rabbits?

B.O.

If the lady is a good friend she will make it right...

You'll be able to judge the quality of her friendship by how she deals with this because she has to know about the bunnies and her childs's midnight micturition.

A lot of mattress stores use them as a come on. Single foam mattress $99.

You'll spend $50 on all the cleaning enzymes and chemicals, not to mention all your time, and still not feel like the mattress is "clean".

X1, could not agree more and hopefully we can close this bit on PEE PEE AND POOP POOP!!!!! It is not rocket science folks:)

I'd toss it and get a new one, as she offered to pay for damages if it's big $ ask her for the money if you don't think she has the $ or it'll cause a hardship, then forget about it if it's not a hardship to you.

If they are foam mattresses get rid of them. The many many tiny surfaces of the foam will continue to hold and release stink and microbes. Even if you get it completely dry damp air or just perspiration etc will renew stink, if it ever went away to being with. Foam mattresses, are terrible things that can make you sweat orbs moisture and odors, and retains odors. And in a short time you will notice the foam turning orange/yellow/brown and crumbles etc at the edges and forms breaks etc as the foam it self breaks down.

There's another urine eliminator out there, which does not require rinsing. It's called Wee Cleaner, and it's only available online. Price is comparable to the ones in pet stores, without the added tax.

What it does is destroy the enzymes in urine that cause the odor. While standard cleaning may kill the vast majority of the odor, it's still there for critters to smell. Should your rig ever host dogs or cats, they'll find the old urine spots, and it will signal "pee here." So total elimination should be the goal.

With Wee Cleaner, you thoroughly wet down the spot that your ultraviolet light found, and let it dry. If there's still an odor, do it again - at least the instructions say so, but I've never had to soak something more than once.

This product is far safer than bleach, doesn't damage metal, rubber, plastic, etc. It's now the only product we use.

Wee Cleaner

Now regarding that ultraviolet light: it has to be true ultraviolet, and those are hard to locate. Of the last three I tried, two were complete garbage. The one I kept requires me to shine the light about a foot or less above the suspected spot before it will illuminate anything, which can be a serious pain in various joints if there's a lot to examine. When you find a good light, cherish it.

get a ozone machine off amazon and run it in the camper around 8 hours and do it monthly till all oders,are gone

Ozone is a powerful oxidizer. It can rust exposed metal and degrade rubber and plastic.

Exactly! It's like soaking your RV in strong bleach. Car dealers use ozonators successfully to remove bad smells in used vehicles - but they are getting RID of that vehicle. They don't CARE if the wire insulation has been made brittle or the fabric weakened/faded. With any amount of luck that will be someone else's problem in a matter of weeks.

Sorry for filling up your inboxes with all these responses. I appreciate all your suggestions, and thank you for them. I will be trying as many as it takes to get my camper smelling good again. ??
