Question from KCrainK

Need help please!

Last night my 4 yr old son wet his bed without waking up, so I am just finding it this morning. We thought we were past that stage, so no puddle pad was on–of course. The mattress is organic cotton fill with a wool wrap layer and a cotton canvas cover. The cover isn’t even damp anymore, but you can tell there is wetness spread horzontally underneath. Since I cannot machine or hand “wash” an entire mattress in a tub, how do I take care of the urine that has soaked in? For now, I have the sun pouring in on it through the window, but am wondering if I need to cut a patch of the cover and maybe more layers out? What about a diluted spray of vinegar and water to soak? Please advise ASAP what to do!

Thanks so much for your time and help!
