Be VERY careful when mixing ANY kind of cleaning products together, even if in separate "dispenser" parts of the washing machine.
In particular, do NOT mix vinegar and bleach!
There were a lot of suggestions about adding vinegar, which is really more of a food item, not a cleaner, but it is recommended as a safe cleaning product:

I have used it to cut the odor of urine on items, both for a toddler and for kitties. It's also good for cleaning glass and other items, without a lot of smelly abrasive (at least to the nose!) chemicals!
But it is the pH of it (acidic), which will react with undiluted bleach (an alkaline) to form Chlorine Gas. I found out the hard way many many years ago in a different life (training pants, smelly and also grayish due to hard well water, used both to "freshen" and whiten at the same time, ooops! Lucky for us very little was used, so we were "okay")
There are MANY products, cleaning or otherwise, which should not be mixed, so please read the instructions carefully, including the warnings, or check online first before mixing anything!!
You do want to check and make sure you're not smelling either the floor or the grout in the bathroom, both of which can absorb urine and retain the odor for a long time.
I swear by soaking clothes in white vinegar before washing. Mix half vinegar and half water.
If the clothes have been through a dryer then sometimes the urine smell is baked in.
Be careful with the vinegar though!! Even half dilute vinegar is still a strong acid on fabrics, it can weaken the threads. Baking soda is safer for odors, though tbh I haven't tried it for this use. Make sure to be VERY dilute and don't leave it overnight.
OdorBan, I get it in the gallon size at Sam's Club but I have also seen it at other stores does a great job of removing odor and it is also a sanitizer. Smells pretty good as well. I use it for washing floors even now.
Are you using a light (and I stress light) bit of barrier cream? That does help keep the urine from getting to the skin. But a heavy coating of a barrier cream can be difficult to remove. And if you put it on pat it onto the skin don't rub it into the skin.
You might see if he has a Urinary Tract Infection.
He should drink more water to make his urine lighter.
It could just be his meds making the smell.
