So I am actually getting suggestions for a friend of mine. She has 3 boys ages 3-9, and the bathroom the boys use is half tile, half carpet. Don't ask me why. Anyways, the bathroom always stinks like pee. I am looking for relatively cheap ways to keep the stink down without deep-cleaning the carpet everyday. Thanks ladies!
baking soda sprinkled over the carpet and then vacummed.
rip up the carpet and put in tile
make them clean it so that they remember to aim better
ok....Im out of suggestions
Steam cleaning in a bathroom will make it worse because the steam cleaner will not totally get up the water which can cause mold. I would suggest ripping up the carpet and buying a sheet of linoleum or the tiles. The other suggestion would be a couple of the mats that surround the toilet and washing them daily.
Quoting mypbandj:I would rip up the carpet and buy the stick on laminate tiles - it's cheap and super easy to install! It's just not worth it. Carpet is nasty as it is. She can put fabreze or vinegar on it, but nothing is going to CLEAN it. Just mask it. Nasty.
