I screwed up BIG TIME.... *Venting* $6,000 mattress ruined

Worst night of my life in the last 10+ years....

The stupid cats locked themselves in my bedroom while I was gone for 2+ days (Literally closed the door on themselves).......... Poor Dexter not only shat (Not even a big deal) but also pissed a TON on my VERY expensive TempurPedic bed. It bled through the expensive down comforter, the sheets and the Tempur Mattress cover. I know it was my fault for not jamming up the door and not the cats (Yes, cats are S-T-I-L-L assholes). Does anyone have any idea on what I can do to fix this besides burning the entire house down and re-building? I've done the 1:2 vinegar/water mix and I've also tried the 1 quart peroxide:1/4 cup peroxide with 1 tablespoon of dish soap... I've also unleashed my Rug Doctor on it but I feel I need a better soap as I was using carpet soap. I will try an enzyme cleaner tomorrow. Still smells like cat piss. It's bad.... I mean... B-A-D.... I had to wash the sheets no less than twice with an extra rinse cycle too... (I was going to burn those tomorrow night in the fire pit but I think I'm okay thanks to my washing machine.... (That poor poor machine) THANK GOD I don't need new sheets. Also had to throw out a pillow (Again, thanking GOD it wasn't one of the TempurPedic pillows.....

Staying up late to make sure I can keep the sheets, cover's comforter and mattress cover moving forward.... That's like 8 loads + 4 EXTRA rinses.......

My wife and I are sleeping in the guest bedroom tonight...

Fuck. My. Life.

Thanks!

P.S, don't ever get a cat.

3 cats here. 1 is a 20+lb Maine Coon. Sympathy. There is always the extreme. Maybe build a smallish pool and set it up on side and turn a hose on it? Let it all rinse out that way? Or caii one of those fire damage repair places? They professionally clean up after floods fires ect?

So how did it work out? Last time we had an incident like that I tied the mattress up sideways in a tree out back after soaking it and walking all over it to ensure saturation. Used a chain hoist a come-along didn't have enough cable. Then hosed the heck out of it and let everything drip drain down and out one side. Took about a week to get it to settle down to one side edge and all. Never smelled right again.
Now we have an expensive water proof mattress cover. To protect the even more expensive mattress. Was smarter to waste the money on that than risk the bratts doing it again.
