    For the stain itself- use a sponge soaked in a solutions of a tsp each of dishwashing detergent and vinegar mixed into a cup of water.

    Blot the stain with the sponge ( make sure to squeeze sponge out before) Blot until the stain is gone.

      Will making a baking soda and vinegar paste work, because someone told me that works to, i cant remember who told me that i think a friend of mine did?

    To get the mattress to dry, open the widows to help with the circulation, Then put one or two fans on in the room, and if you have a humidifier, that helps too. Also, you can surn the blowdryer on pointed at the mattress for the last little bit

      Thanks for the tip, i found out that when they delivered my bed when they set it up they took the plastic off when they where suppose to leave it on, so i got help a week later after it took that long to completly get dry my husband helped a friend put the plastic cover back over the mattress. Now i just have to clean the stains off the mattress? Thanks for your time! I appreciate it!

    I used my carpet shampooed and set it in the sun to dry looked and smelled like new in a few hours, try using a cleaner for pet stains to get rid of odor and stain.

      Is there anything else i can try because i dont have a carpet shampooer and cant afford to rent one, and its to heavy and bulky to take outside and set in the sun, its a queen-sized mattress?

    To All The Hometalkers out there who answered my question How to get a mattress dry, I figured out a way, we had a piece of plastic on the mattress when we got it delivered and the delivery drivers took the plastic off so it was not protected and the mattress got wet? So after i read some of your answers i tried them all, and the mattress got dry then we got the plastic(thank gosh we kept instead of throwing it away) and covered the mattress back on? I thank all the hometalkers for there help! I greatly appreciated your answers!

    A wet/dry vacuum cleaner is good for sucking up moisture. The small ones are about $30. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Vacuum-Cleaners-Floor-Care-Wet-Dry-Vacuums/N-5yc1vZbv79Z12kz?NCNI-5
