in a similar situation, I used water with soap to spot clean, and then 1 part water to 3 parts vinegar to spray a few times, wait till it dries, then spray again. In my mind, this will not harvest smells/germs, but who knows..

to prevent future problems I would put a mattress cover on both your bed and your child's mattress and your child's pillow - we had to do it early as my children vomitted a lot during the first few months (I had too much milk) and my boobs leaked a lot - now it is a god send when we have leaky diapers or pull ups - also try a different brand of diaper if it continues to happen - we recently switched to presidents choice and no longer have the leaks or the diaper rash that we used to get with pampers - they sell the mattress and pillow covers at walmart for cheap

thanks guys

the spot cleaning worked and I also sprayed with Febreeze.  We do have a mattress cover but I took it off to wash it.

It's kind of funny b/c Katelyn hasn't had any accidents since being potty trained until I decided to take the cover off :-) 

Now when I wash it, I make sure to put it back right away
