Does anyone know how to get urine smells out of clothing or furniture?

has been doing so well with underwear, but he has had an accident or 2

.. I've tried Fabreeze and that doesn't get all the odor out. Covering is not

an option at my house with my grandson (19 mos.) running around grabbing and

tossing everything.

Hi Irma and everyone,

Thanks for the wet/dry tip. I will start to use it today!! Rochelle has

graduated to being scheduled trained. That means if we put her on she goes. But

if we forget or we don't put her on often enough she has an accident. I'd say we

have about 1 or 2 accidents a day. Not bad. She will even go in a public

restroom if it is not to loud or small. She is still in pull-ups but this summer

we will go cold turkey to undies during the day after vacation of course.

Does anyone know where I can get plastic coverings for furniture, bus, carseat

etc....

Swimming season is here and we still sometimes have number 2 accidents. Hope

it's not in the pool. Yuck!

to understand feeling wet to get a hold of 2 washcloth one dry and

the other wet. Practice with hand over hand touching/feeling " wet "

then the next washcloth " dry " . >>

UGH, tell me about it!!!!! Maddie wears a swim pull up and still has blow

outs (matter of fact, her new flotation swim suit is drying outside as we

speak).

Congrats though on the success with pottying!!! Way to go Rochelle and Mom.

On furniture Judy, the key is to scrub it and then take out the liquid.

The cleaning fluid ends up mixing in with the urine and it all just STAYS, so

you have to get the fluid back out!!!! We have one of those big rug cleaners

that clean and then suck the fluid back up....also a small one for quick jobs

(wet/dry vacs). When you actually clean it and see the stuff you pull back

up into the machine, it's GROSS!!! But feels good to see it coming out.

For clothes, I would just soak them really well and use a fabric softener in the

washer....they also clean and get rid of odors.

tirade today.......started actually making a LIST of things I lent out that I

am getting back TODAY!!!!! Duff's sister and fam who live across the street

I have always used club soda. It works like a charm. I got the tip from a

pediatrician who used it on their rugs in the office.

Donna,

I was reading your post and chuckling.....people borrowing and not

returning is one of my major pet peeves!!!!!! I almost go off the deep end

when I get to the point you are at with making a list and wanting

everything back from everyone NOW!!!!!!:)

Good Luck getting all of your stuff back!

Maybe you need to say you can borrow it if you bring it back tomorrow. LOL I

remember my Dad had the same problem with his tools. There is really no solution

is there? I am really bad and wouldn't let anyone know I have it then they can't

borrow it. hehehe

But, you are too generous!! That's why everyone loves you. smile.

Hi Diane,

I can't remember who used this idea but for their little kid they used a

" furry " bathmat that had a rubber backing. If soiled they could throw it in the

washer/dryer and it was easy to take to company's house and she had to learn

that that was her spot to sit. Good luck, I think we'll be here shortly.

Hi Diane,

Back to this. What I use to do. I was like a hawk around with

this issue. I use to use those shower plastic liners and this was

the only area he was allow to sit on. He got the message as I was

his shadow. Then one of my friends brought those hospital bed pads

and they had worked great for us. When we went out he knew exactly

where his seating area was at. We still had some mess but of course

when the poop in the bathtub started as he felt relaxed with the

warm water and I would wear those plastic gloves to grab the poop

out of the tub and toss it in the toilet with him watching and

showing him where poop went in the toilet. A great visual tool. He

must of gotten the message as he started pooping in the toilet. Plus

hates " mess " and " ewe, yuck " , he would respond.

Wishing you luck with this issue. Seems like Rochelle is almost

ready. Its just figuring out what is stopping her from pooping in

the toilet. Is she constipated? How about the sound or light? The

toilet seat? Does she have her own little attachable seat? Do you

use a foot step so that her feet are touching? Does she drink alot

of fluids or eat plenty of fiber? Do you use a pic of a poop? Are

you still following a schedule? Try to keep track of when Rochelle

normally has a BM this will kinda of give you an idea when she's

about to have one. Do you have her wearing those cute little

character undie? I believe when Rochelle is ready, its when it'll

happen. Are they're any medical issues?

I'm pretty sure you this has crossed your mind on what I've

mentioned. Hey, look how many years for to learn. Ok, once I

understood why? I always thought he was ever going to learn. He has

accomplished this mission not 100 % as he still needs verbal &

visual cues. But, no more pull ups for gosh! I've forgotten how

long? Maybe about a 1 1/2 years.

Here and there due to us not reminding him will still have # 1

accident. Give her hug from me glad to hear some progress.
