and you might put a small amount of lysol in the chamber pot

An open toilet does not spread the pee smell throughout the house.

They have a covered "diaper genie" for disposing the wet depends... but the mother will sometimes just toss the depends in a non-covered wastebasket, and THAT is another source of odors.

There might indeed be some overnight leaks that get on bedding... but my friend says she's always checking sheets and blankets... and changes them almost daily if there's even a HINT of urine smells.

There are large rugs (but not wall-to-wall carpet) I'll suggest to her that they be removed or professionally cleaned.

Lord, I hope I never become a burden to my children... just let me go quickly.

I swear by it. My father, a doctor, used it effectively in his office for incontinent patients.

I also used it in college to get rid of the smell of weed.

I used to buy it from the pet store to clean up the bathroom when my kids were young. Nothing else would remove the odor. Medline carries similar products.

I think one is just called "odor no more," you can order on line or pick up at feed and or pet stores. there are different brands/formulas but the enzyme ones are best and most are ok for carpet and fabric.

febreze actually works but stinks pretty bad itself. bleach is absolutely best for anything that can handlr it.

suspect mattress and carpet are the main problem. mattress is ruined anyway, I would try spraying till pretty damp w dilute bleach, let dry then encase in waterproof vinyl zip case.

I had a pet make a mess on our carpet in our den so I steam cleaned it it got worse finally after all kinds of things I read both vinegar and or baking soda should work. I sprinkled baking soda on the carpet later vacuumed it up no more smell.
Both can be added to wash laundry & clean the commode etc and then put a open box of baking soda near by I think it would draw the smell from the air and it’s all natural.

It is made to get rid of pet urine smells and should work on human urine too. You can get it at pet supply stores and bed bath & beyond.

THANK YOU everyone! These are great tips! I don't know why we hadn't even considered PET urine cleaning-solutions and odor-products.

the caregivers should make an effort to be sure she is adequately hydrated. She should also be checked for a urinary tract infection. Dehydration and infection can greatly increase the odor of urine.

good point

Air Purification

In the same spirit, activated carbon is also effective as a filter for air purification. Much like baking soda, commercially available charcoal bags can be placed in the refrigerator, car, pet areas, gym bags, and other places to freshen air, neutralize odors, and combat mold.

Activated Charcoal Forms

Activated charcoal is available in pills, tablets, capsules, and loose powder for multipurpose use. In all forms, activated charcoal is odorless and neutral-tasting.
