If, say, silnylon encasing a mattress is peed on, and not taken care of right away, will the smell wash out of the sil?

Are you too far gone to deal with it immediately :-D ?
Depends…
How heavy the silnylon is, Doug?
1.1oz waterproof-silicone impregnated rip-stop nylon
I don't know about silnylon, but we had a 70d urethane mattress cover I made that lasted through 2 toddlers.
If it's coated on both sides it shouldn't absorb the dog piss. Should wash off easy. Teach it not to piss in bed man:)

Thanks for the info.
Tim, what makes you think it was a dog?
Doug,
You need to find an "enzyme" type cleaner. Detergent won't work as well. Has something to do with proteins versus fats.
Pet stores, or course, sell $$product, but almost anything that says enzyme will work.
Thanks Greg.
"She's old, it's not her fault!"
I hear ya man. It gets tougher the older they get. Saddest GD day of my life when ours had to go. Accidents happen but every day is worth the bother as long as they still have some quality of life left, ya know what I mean?

>'"enzyme" type cleaner."
Also sold to wash out the blood for women using traditional, reusable, actual sponges once a month. Reasonably available in Europe, especially in more rural areas. Maybe it could be found online for USA delivery.
Or any detergent that trumpets it's efficiency at removing grass and blood stains. The same enzymes are used.
Mirazyme from McNett would work, I would think. It gets the stink out of my hiking shoes, and a small amount goes a long ways.
Hmm-
If the enzyme that works on blood works on urine, would good old meat tenderizer work? It is one homemaker laundry suggestion I read many years ago. I usually use hydrogen peroxide on blood and other organic stains with success. Meat tenderizer and peroxide may at least be handy and cheap…

They're gorgeous!
Being made of nylon with nylon thread, don't use bleach and don't dry on hot. They open up all the way so the inside can dry quicker when washed if hung up or a short tumble on warm.
Thanks much Dave, truly appreciated.

These granules will suck the smell out of nearly anything, even piss stink on cement when my dog wouldn’t stop peeing on the patio. I also recovered a very nice old Drexel dresser set from a chain smoker’s house with it. …and that thing was probably in that environment since it was bought in the 60s.

Thanks Kenneth!

If you have a Petsmart near you, they should also carry the stuff.
