Anybody know how to get urine out of my favorite recliner? Or better yet, some way to keep the depends on? I know, I know, all the things that "don't work". This is so not fun. I am pinning some waterproof covers over the chairs now that the horse is already out of the barn.  SignatureLesanne Hi Lesanne, Get yourself one of those small wet vacs like the bissell little green clean machine or something like it (there are several brands out there.... try Target or Sears or any store with a good selection). There are products you can buy that work on an enzymatic level that will neutralize the urine odor. You can find them in the pet supply, for instance. Dampen the fabric well with the urine neutralizer, then shampoo it with the small wet vac. That has worked well for us with doggie accidents as well. As you have discovered, the best remedy is prevention, whenever it is possible.

Got the smell out completely, and didn't leave any other smell behind. It was like it never happened. >Anybody know how to get urine out of my favorite recliner?

She could not figure out how to get them off, so the depends stayed on and I no longer had to clean up urine and excrement from sheets, walls, floors, her hair etc. Try looking online and in thrift stores for jumpers or find a pattern and have them made. Hope this helps and good luck, Ticia >> Anybody know how to get urine out of my favorite recliner? Or better > yet, some way to keep the depends on? I know, I know, all the things [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Ticia It has been mentioned here in the past that they sell jumpsuits that fasten in the back just for this kind of problem. I believe it was mentioned that Silverts had them, but I could be wrong. They are used in nursing homes or for patients cared for at home who have this sort of problem. SignatureRegards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox") Here is a link to the Silverts.com page with an women's anti-strip jumpsuit. They make them for men too.

She has such a good time taking her clothing off, and she still makes the bathroom more than half the time. Right now I am going with washable covers all over everything :).

Right now I am going with washable covers all over everything lesanne, if you keep closing the barn door *after* the horse is gone, you'll never have a horse! it really does pay to prepare in advance for the inevitable, and if you're going to keep her at home, you should get some clothing like this now. otherwise you will want it yesterday when you need it. a geriatric psychiatrist told me that incontinence was far and away the most cited reason for placing a LO in a care facility.

SignatureLesanne Ronny:[Wed. morning] I hear you Lesanne. :-) You hate to stop your Mom from doing something she still can do and enjoys doing! LoL Know what you mean! :-) For awhile my Mom was coming into my bedroom to pee on the floor or other places like that! Or she would sometimes go to have a bowel movement where her potty chair used to be! I'm just glad that part stopped! LoL Ah and then there are the times she refuses to use her potty chair because she says it's full;but she may have only used it once before a few minutes ago! And I simply don't empty her potty chair every time she uses it,as she sometimes has to go several times in say a 15 minute period! So I wait awhile and sometimes she says she can't use it as it's now too full,when it is far from that!LoL <Mary_Gordon@tvo.org> wrote in message news:1110210285.455602.220060@o13g2000cwo.googlegroups.com...

They were very helpful. We usually kept one on the sofa where my mother in law liked to sit, just in case of any leakage. We also put one in the bed just beneath where she would lay. Occasionally she would manage to scoot it out of the way, but for the most part they saved a few times of having to wash everything up.

By repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. At that time God came into my life and let me see God and let me see myself and my need of God. That was the goodness of God that led me to repentance. :-) Then God explained to me about Jesus Christ and him being on the cross for me,there in my place,there taking my sins upon himself. And God's love was pouring out upon me as God was showing me all of this and explaining it to me. I believed God. I put my faith in what God told me because that was backed up by both God's direct word to me and God's love pouring out upon me. I put my belief in God and my faith in Jesus Christ and in what he had done for me on the cross. Ronny Sorry so late but using poise pads in my moms depends helps a great deal. Mom really loves taking OFF anything that has any plastic, etc. that is on any furniture. I have to hide the chucks on her bed underneath the sheets and even then on occasion she will quietly get up at night, strip the bed, strip herself and get back in bed in a pile of miscellany. > My pop's has Alz. not to incontinance yet; > but before my time they had plastic fitted furniture ; just a thought; > maybe put the plastic on then the cover for furniture. > Les |
