Love the tricks and tips. Got any for mattresses? I’ve seen the ones with lavender oil and baking soda but is that going to get out stains like from formula or leaked diapers?
Anna says
There’s a product called Kids ‘n Pets and it’s amazing stuff! It gets out stains and bad smells. I’ve used it for all kinds of accidents from my 5 year old. 🙂 You can buy it on Amazon –> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002NYAZG/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0002NYAZG&linkCode=as2&tag=askan01-20.
