Mum rarely makes it through the night without wetting the bed. Even though I have a quilted plastic bed pad and waterproof mattress cover on the bed, after washing the wet items, I can't seem to get the smell of urine out of them. Regular laundry detergent doesn't seem to get rid of the odor. My house is beginning to smell like a nursing home! Any suggestions?
CLOTHING.DOES NOT NEED TO BE RINSED ON LABEL.BOUGHT AT WHOLE FOODS.
It was really trial and error, but...
This is what worked for me... spray the clothes/sheets/whatever with the puppy pee spray in the turquoise bottle. That will neutralize it til you can get it in the wash. Then I do a combo of oxy clean odor care, plus a little zote (bar laundry soap), and then my regular laundry detergent in the machine. It's done great and she often gets comments about how fresh and clean her clothes smell.
Good luck!!
Sunlight,
Keep vinegar under the sink and had wash area on trousers and hang to dry if you want to get a cup;e of more days out of some nice slacks.
In the machine, 1/2 cup borax and 1/2 cup BAc out.Cold water and full wash with rinse.
I spray the bedding, sheets, pads, blankets, pillows with Febreze when I change the sheets. And I wash all the bedding every two weeks whether there is any stains or not. The odors stay in the bedding. We have almost completely eliminated any odors. I wash all of her clothing, all of the time in detergent and Borax (Walmart / Smiths) . We use disposable pads (Sam's Clubs are good quality and cheap) under the sheets and a water resistant mattress pad (also washed every other week). It seems like a lot of work, but we have it down to a system now. It isn't too bad. And nothing smells.
No..I meant to get out odors.
That combination takes care of every odor I have every run up against. Cat urine, horse sweat, you name it....one scoop of that combination...ta da. Odor gone
I had good results with the oxyclean type boosters you add by the scoop in the wash or use for a pre soak for urine odours, but I have discovered the liquid non chlorine bleach does a better job for poopy messes.
Works every time. For any kind of nasty odor.
I use it on my Dads bedding everyday. (Yeah, every morning the mess is just awful)
She said use a paste of bleach and soap powder on the area, then soak them in the bath in and then before you wash them tread them like you would grapes.
Now I have to say having that much bleach on your feet will be harmful and I said as much. Her reply - well at my age it doesn't matter much does it dear and beside which I wear wellies. I could just see her in her floral dress and wellies treading sheets!!!!!!
