There are some very good biological mattress stain removers as well. You just spray on, leave, and it digests the stain. Available on Amazon. Hope all goes well with test and results.

I think you could try mixing white vinegar with water and keep spraying and dabbing with an old clean towel till its gone the vinegar smell will go as it dries .
Good luck today .

Oh how annoying! As if going through all the colonoscopy prep isn't bad enough sad. Hope you get your mattress sorted. But more important, I hope the colonoscopy goes well for you .

Good luck with the colonoscopy. I always say the worst bit about it is the bowel-emptying gunk. You have done that now, so the worst is over. Well done.

Poor you, hope the test goes well today. I have a poorly cat at the moment, who can't get outside quick enough, I am using pet are stain remover, just spray it on, it works very well on my pale grey carpets, says on bottle works on mattresses as well.

Do you know anyone that has a Vax type wet cleaner, they have a small attachment for cleaning furniture etc. The key thing is that they soak the area with cleaner them suck the water back up, taking the dirt with it.

I'm due to have a colonoscopy today as I keep failing that test they send you when you hit 60 (I.e. I have blood in my poo), so was instructed to start taking special laxatives last night at 6pm then 8pm.
I went to bed around midnight, with all quiet on the western front (if you get my drift), only to wake around 3am... Too late. I put the sheets and mattress protector in the washing machine immediately and they seem to have come up fine, but can anyone please tell me how to clean the mattress? Would one of those steam cleaners do the trick?
It's only 3 years old and super comfy, so I don't want to have to bin it, but rubbing with a damp cloth, with or without soap, doesn't seem to do much.
Apologies for the subject matter blush
