- Try and encourage your parent to wash daily. If this is easier said then done, then try a flannel or wipe. - Wash the laundry as soon as possible so that the stale smell of urine can’t linger. Look for anti-bacterial washing products or even bleach on sheets to really eliminate odours (but make sure it won't affect their skin). - Ventilate! Open windows and doors and bring fresh air in. - This is a cost-effective tip for cleaning furniture. Mix white vinegar and water in a spray bottle - great for spraying chairs and mattresses. - Put some essential oils onto cotton wool and place around the home. - If the laundry can't be washed straightaway (for example if your parent is out), use lavender to scent the bag. This will take the edge off the urine.
