    Spray some peroxide on the stains and let dry. If that doesn't work mix baking soda and water into a paste and brush it into the stains and let sit until dry and then vacuum up the residue. To keep this from happening again, purchase a mattress paid with a plastic under liner. You can then throw it into the washing machine

    If the mattress has side air vents, a portable steamer can be passed across for a few minutes to freshen from the inside out a very dry paste of baking soda on the stains, let sit for an hour, vacuum off and open the windows for awhile, spray with Febreeze or Lysol spray.
