   Kevin moved to an OS called ROM-DOS. (Don't ask me! ;-) Then, while I was    
   downloading mail one day, it would appear that his modem skipped retirement    
   and went straight to the grave. What're you gonna do, eh?    
      
   Back to topic, that bleach is going to take out the smell, and likely the    
   mattress. I'll bet if the bleach smell alone was stronger than pure urine,    
   that might discourage further squatting.
