No matter how many times you say that boric acid and Boraxo are the same, they are NOT. They are completely different chemicals. What you want to clean with is Boraxo, and their web site explains how to use it. If you want to kill cockroaches, then boric acid is what you want. But please, do not substitute boric acid for Boraxo any time, you will be very unhappy with the results. Oh dear, oh dear!

Wet cleaning a mattress can impair the flammability performance by washing away the flame retardant treatment.

I washed with water and detergent within a couple of hours, but I don't know if it soaked through. The stain was only in corner of mattress but along the width of the box springs. It appears to have removed the surface stain at least. How would I know if it is sanitary to keep the mattress?
