Removing Urine smell from clothes.....

Products for carpets are not meant for clothes. It could irritate the skin of a child. It might cause allergies upon contact with skin for long time.

Thanks for the advice skinnychick. Like someone else stated. I am not sure that a carpet spray would be a good thing to use on clothes. Some of them do have some very harsh chemicals in them and I wouldn't want that to irriate my sons skin. But as always I really appreciate your concerns and advice. Thanks a bunch!

If you look, there are eco friendly and safer organic cleaning products out there. It was just an idea. :)

I will look into the Urine gone. What is it suppose to be used for? Pet urine?? Thank you for sharing.

Oh, have you tried a water proof pad? This can be placed under the mattress or sheet wherever the bed wetting is an issue.

Well I hope it helps. I know we have used it to get out cat urine which really stinks and it gets it out beautifully. Good luck

I have heard of Borax, just never thought to use it. Thank you! I will have to pick up some the next time I go shopping.

Okay thanks musicman6! Yes I know the smell of diesel, oil, and the other things you named are very hard to get out of clothing or any material for that matter. My ex-husband was a mechanic for a heavy equipment company and his clothes would always come home smelling horrible. Luckily I wasn't the one having to clean them, as the company had a service come and pick up the uniforms weekly and clean them.

Thanks for the advice. I did end up using the baking soda and vinegar and it worked like a charm. I am so glad I know this now.

Yes, getting rid of the germs is also important. So if the other suggestions that I have been given don't help, I will try the dettol. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate your advice on getting the urine smell out of my son's flannel pajamas. I will be trying the vinegar trick. But what I don't appreciate is you trying to tell me what I need to be doing about my son's bedwetting. This discussion was about getting the smell of urine out of clothes, NOT bedwetting advice. I never stated in my discussion wheather I was working on his bedwetting or not. And had I needed advice on his bedwetting I would have started a whole different discussion on it. Now thanks to your response regarding my son's bedwetting, I am sure more people are going to have to put thier two cents worth in about his bed wetting. Fact is my son is ADHA and had a hard time getting potty trained. He hasn't even been potty trained for a year yet. Plus there is a history of bed wetting in my dads side of the family. So part of it is genetic as well. I am well aware that it is not normal for a kid who is 5 years old to be wetting the bed. I have been working on it with him with great progress. He gets nothing to drink two hours before bed time and right before he goes to bed he uses the bathroom. 90% of time when this routine is strictly followed he doesn't wet the bed. So, back to the actuall topic of this discussion. All it took was one time of him wetting the bed wearing these pajamas for the smell to set in and won't come out. In closing, Next time you respond to one of my discussions I would appreciate if your responses sticks to the topic at hand. Instead of giving advice on something else that was not asked for.

Someone else had recommend a pet spray as well. But it would have to be eco friendly as I would be concerned with putting harsh chemicals on my kids clothes.

That seems to be the general consensus! So I guess I will be using vinegar. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it works.

We all have heard the saying "You learn something new everyday." Well I have just learned something new about urine that I did not know. Thanks so much for sharing this information with me. I will be sure to check out the website and product.

Well I think you are right about vinegar being the trick. Almost everyone else has recommended it, so I just need to go try it and see how well it works. Wish me luck!!!!

That's what my mom recommended I use. I had started this discussion before I had a chance to ask my mom. So it seems like Vinegar and baking soda are the key to removing the odor. Actually yesterday I had picked up some Oxiclean thinking it might help. I used that first by soaking the pj's before I started this discussion and we will see here in a little bit when I take them out of the dryer if it helped. If not then I will definitly be using vinegar and baking soda. Thanks for the advice!
