How do I get pet odor out of my futon mattress?




I got it on freecycle. It looks great but there is a dog and cat smell on it and a urine odor. Will I have to get rid of it? I don’t have pets.

So I’m trying to be conscientious of everyone and their budgets as I register for our first baby. I am currently listed for 2 (Target and Babies R Us) in hope that it makes for more convenient shopping for everyone involved. I’m having 3 showers (his family, my friends since I don’t have family in the states, and work). We make more than his family, or mine and I want everyone to feel comfortable making purchases. I also don’t want anyone to feel as if I’m asking for too much. It’s a delicate topic. SO… Is this a good amount of product or too much? Is it realistic? Too expensive? If you were a guest coming to one of the showers would you feel as if I were being too greedy?

Thanks so much in advance for your feed back!

Here they are…

Editing to add that my parents bought the crib, mattress, dresser and changing table. So that’s taken care of. I’d buy it all myself, and don’t really care if I have to. I just don’t want to limit people. The only thing I might get sooner, rather than waiting is the carseat, since you never really know when you’ll need it, and its kind of importaint….
Also failed to mention that I directly report to the owner and CEO of my company and I feel as if they’ll get me a larger item for the work shower. So I feel as if I have to have something larger for purchase if that makes sense.
Thanks for your “help.” I’m not really certain what you mean by obsolete as we plan on having more children and will therefore use these items again. Cribs and car seats aren’t disposable where I live…

My registry is a list of items that I would purchase even if no one bought them for me. I don’t need gifts. I can buy this all and it won’t affect my finances. People would want to stab me, as people really do want to have a village feel in a new baby. I’d welcome any gift, and really even a card if that were all they can afford. It is not about the gift, it’s about celebrating my new baby!

Oh, and thanks for adding all this up for me. Now that I see the total, it’s not that much. I have friends that have spent that much on baby furniture alone. But I guess this is like the Olympics and you’re the Russian judge that low balls and nitpicks, and who’s opinion just gets tossed out in the end. There’s always the bitter, jealous, negative-Nelly, and here and now it’s you…

Good Luck.

How often do hotels clean their bedspreads?




I know that sheets are replaced everyday, but bedspreads aren’t.

I am right now 12, but i am using my cousins account. But anyways, i need a new bedroom set/collection because my twin sized bed isn’t big enough for me. Where is a good website where i can find full/queen sized bed made out of wood. I have checked Macy’s and i have found some pretty nice beds, but i want to compare. I don’t care if they are cheap or expensive because the quality is what my mom wants for me.

I seen this bedroom set at the room place website and i cant find that anywhere else or in a full. If it can be done, please tell me how. Thank you so much in advance.

So when I was pregnant I was reading on the internet about how toxic gassed can cause SIDS, and this mattress cover from Sweden would eliminate the gasses. Anyways if you got one, how did you clean it, and how long did you keep it on?

Problems with the Rooms To Go mattress cover?




I recently got a new mattress set and am using the Rooms To Go mattress cover. My husband and I both wake up every morning drenched in sweat. Has anyone else had this problem with this cover? I am not sure if it is the cover or the mattress that is causing it. I am really hoping it is the cover because that can be easily replaced. Please let me know.

My waterbed mattress sits on a pedestal with about a 2 inch rim around the bottom of it. I want a regular mattress again. Can I just put a regular mattress on that pedestal, or would I need to buy a box spring too?
