Deodorising products for Urine stink (help needed)

I wonder if the pads that can be used on beds would help if put on the chair for her to sit on - even if they are covered with a towel.
DD should contact the GP surgery - they should be able to give advice that should help - either way, they need to be made aware of how DD MiL is behaving.

No amount of deodorising is going to eliminate the smell of old urine which has soaked into upholstery.

Is your SIL in a position to buy a new, wipe-clean, recliner for his mother to sleep in?

You can buy incontinence chair pads online.

On a practical note, I think you can buy pull ons for adults which are similar to training pants for toddlers but I'm not sure how absorbent the are.
They could b more comfy than pads.

A solution of bicarbonate of soda gets rid of smells in carpets and fabric.

I think someone should get in touch with the continence advisor if the pads supplied are insufficient as there are several types and she may not have the correct one for her level of need. District Nurses are usually a great source of information too. I would also get in touch with the manager of the care service if there are concerns about the level of care provided ? enough visits/efficiency of carers. Would it be possible to change the chair for a wipe clean one rather than upholstery? I hope your daughter gets some help with this soon but she does need to rattle a few locks I think.

DH has had to use pads since an operation for prostrate cancer thirteen years ago. NHS pads are awful and we buy direct from Beaucare. Pads are excellent, we can choose a size which fit him, and skin care issues are really rare. Not cheap, but attendance allowance helps and my very sensitive nose tells me that the house doesn’t smell like an old people’s home. If the poster’s MIL was comfortable perhaps she wouldn’t take them off? Worth a try.

ExD I'm not sure if care/nursing homes are taking in new admissions at the moment but it sounds as if your DD's MIL would be better off in a safe and caring environment that a home could provide.
Your DD and SIL must be stressed and reaching the end of their tether and MIL obviously needs more help than can be provided in her own home however caring it is.

Could you suggest that or would SIL resist?
