Synthetic cloths and bed-pads are retaining urine smells. We already use Oxy clean along with laundry pods but it’s not doing the trick.

I found drying in the dryer brings out the smell. I would not use bleach on colored clothes. I used to soak Moms polyester slacks in vinegar and water for a while before washing.

Wash everthing in hot water, detergent and bleach. Get the directions on how much bleach from the bleach bottle.

Agreed! I have found that Tide Hygienic Clean detergent and disinfecting bleach (never knew there were different versions/strengths of bleach until caregiving) in hot water works well!
