foam matress..spill

[VanLifeCrisis]

So i got careless and spilled about half a bottle of water on this dang thing. i keep drying it with napkins and a turbo fan i have but its a giant sponge..so everytime i lay on it water soaks back up. any ideas on how to permenantly dry these things? maybe ill start using a cover like a toddler if its gonna be this tough to clean spills lol

Even outdoors in good weather it can take a couple days to dry 4-6" foam. Gravity pulls the water down, so the trick is to get air under it.

So i bought a 3dollar shamwow knockoff..i stacked my propane littles on top..see how that works after lunch.

If it's 4-6" foam, fold a towel to slightly larger than the wet spot. One on top, one underneath. Then sit on it, or stand on it, you want something heavy that will squeeze the moisture out into the towels. Do it as many times as it takes. Then leave it uncovered, on its side if possible, so both sides are exposed, if you can.

Hopefully, you're somewhere with low humidity. And get a water proof mattress cover!

Good luck!

Stuck the fan under and the sham over seemed to work.
