Does anyone know of a way to remove urine odor from clothing in the laundry? I am taking care of an elderly parent and I would appreciate any tips . Thanks.

Ammonia is the best deodorizer around. Use it in the laundry, but do not mix with bleach.

I just want to add, ammonia mixed with bleach makes chlorine gas which is poisonous. Without giving the actual reason, people might mix them thinking it just doesn't work as well, rather than that it's actually dangerous.

A baby powder with baking soda will absorb odors on the skin. Baby Magic makes one.

Yes, never mix chemicals. Too dangerous. Some folks have just 'passed out' (and worse) when mixing, say, ammonia with bleach. It happens very quickly/quick, too.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
