How to deodorize Urine in Portable Potty for an elderly person?
RaceCar asked:
I take care of an elderly woman who cant always to the bathroom at night. But when I get her up in the morning her whole room smells like urine, and travels thought out the house. I always put water in her Pot . Ive tried putting Bleach in it but is just smell like bleach and urine. Is there something I can mix with the water when I refill her pot that can deodorize the smell. Someone recommended the littel blue tablet disc BUT putting a new one of those everytime and empty her potty would extremely expensive.
Let me clarify. The problems isnt cleaning the pot. When she useing is at night the *** sit for hours, it fill the entire room with the smell until I com ein the morning.

first of all you have to start by cleaning up the porta-potty then you can put cleaning deorderizers like pinesol,fabuloso,ect…in the pot and/or by a toilet deorderizer(whick is next to the air fresheners) and put it in the pot or you can get air freshers too or that automatic one spray airfreshener by lysol or airwick.

i had the same problem with mom before she passed away. i finally decided to put a strong liner or trashbag so i could get rid of it right away. it’s cheap but workable.

sprinkle baking soda in it. Use baking soda to clean it also. Then spray with a vinegar and water mix. Kills the odor.

White vinegar is good for many cleaning jobs and removes urine stains and odors. I would put 1/2 cup of vinegar in the pot and see if that helps. also take a bowl and put 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water and leave it on a table to absorb the odor in the room.Vinegar is a natural odor eater.
