[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a caregiver currently caring for such an elder who has been on hospice care for over a year now. She lives with her daughter a retired RN whose house is immaculate at all times and does not smell of urine, ever. Her mom uses Purewick at night and only rarely has it malfunctioned resulting in bed wetting. Thanks to chucks and waterproof mattress pads none of the furniture ever gets saturated when accidents happen. During the day she is in pads on a chair with chucks and uses a commode for toileting because she can stand and transfer. It can be done but in a home setting an immobile adult needs 24/7 caregivers available to assist for optimal results. [/quote] If you know how to launder properly and do so promptly, urine doesn’t visually stain or stink stain fabrics. Urine soaked laundry cannot be allowed to sit and you must use an effective natural deodorizer like vinegar in addition to detergent.[/quote]
