We’ve all been there - or at least we know someone who has. You wake up and feel that dreaded wet spot on your luxurious pillow top mattress. It’s not sweat, and it’s not water. It’s urine.
Whether it’s from a child, a pet, or a strange twist of fate, you’re now facing a situation that needs immediate attention. Let’s dive right in.
