Removing Oily Lotion Stains on a Mattress

How can I get oil stains out of my mattress? I placed a bottle top on my bed and the lotion came from the top and left a bad oil stain. I used a degreaser and the stain is still there.

Cleaning a Stain Off a Mattress

Does any one know how to get stains out of a mattress? The mattress in my spare room is still new, but it was stained by a guest I had recently. I have tried everything I know, but none worked.

Thank you, Q.

This takes a while, and is kind of drastic, but it worked. I have a SpotBot, and I set it on a terrible blood stain on a mattress and let it run through a tough stain cycle. then put a fan over the bed until it dried (2 days).

If you don't have a spotbot, I would suggest a upholstery attachment on a carper cleaner, then thorough drying.

Good luck!

I have a fairly expensive mattress that is about 18 months old. In spite of using a mattress pad, I've discovered a soiled area on it and don't know the best way of spot cleaning a mattress. Any ideas?


How do I get not only a stain out, but I need to make the stain ring also go away on a pillow top mattress. Every time I go to clean it with a product and it dries, it just leaves a bigger ring. Please help, because this mattress is brand new.

RE: Cleaning a Stain Off a Mattress

Try using a carpet cleaner with the upholstery attachment, I think you need to suck out the dirt. I add a little laundry soap when I do my couch. (10/16/2010)
