Assume you're throwing them out in the trash outside, and not in a trash his room too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914581 Sat, 25 Apr 2020 20:20:36 +0000 DesertDreams88 2914581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a bedroom ceiling fan that is permanently on and keep the door completely open except for night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914576 Sat, 25 Apr 2020 19:22:01 +0000 MrsADS 2914576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>I will look into the charcoal. He wears Goodnights at bedtime (or the Target brand). He is still waking up soaked so clearly not ready to train at night. That's super low on my priority list right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914439 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 14:47:17 +0000 misolee 2914439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the charcoal pads too.</p> <p>But we switched to nightime pullups and it helps the smell a lot more. My four year old isn't night trained either but I don't even want to get started right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914434 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 14:05:12 +0000 MrsSRS 2914434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: right, this. I know it's not leaking, but since it's saturated, sizing up might help with the lingering odor. Also, airing out the sheets daily. So throw the bedding back so it's all open and exposed for at least an hour or so before making the bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914429 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 13:31:44 +0000 Milk Tea 2914429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree that the dampness could come through the surface of diapers and pull-ups.</p> <p>Does he sleep deeply enough that you could change him into a new one before you go to bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914424 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 12:31:51 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2914424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know he’s not leaking, but what about having like 3 sets of fitted sheets on his bed with pads in between? Then you can just peel off a layer each day or when you smell it and wash it whenever and he still has fresh sheets for that night with no pressure to make the bed ASAP that day. We also have 2 cheap duvets, pillows, etc so I don’t have to have it all done and make the bed by the end of the day because that would always annoy me the most about accidents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914423 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 12:22:33 +0000 PinkElephant 2914423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: Even if it's not leaking, if it's pretty saturated and he's laying on it (i.e. he fills it while laying on his stomach, and continues to lay on his stomach), some dampness is probably soaking into the sheets. I can remember this happening when my daughter would have a really full pull-up (but no actual leaks). Not sure what to suggest other than something smaller than a sheet that you change more frequently than you would a sheet to save yourself laundry. Maybe a towel or a puppy-pad if he's not a terribly active sleeper?</p> <p>@Corduroy: Yes! My DD hid them in her closet for a time period when she wanted to switch to undies but wasn't ready. She'd intentionally get up before me, change to a dry one, and stash the pee-filled one in a corner of her closet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914421 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:52:01 +0000 MrsADS 2914421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@batgirl great idea, thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914420 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:46:34 +0000 catgirl 2914420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this problem for awhile - I hated it! Like you there was no leaking, just so much pee that had a crazy strong odor. I ended up putting two charcoal air purifying bags in her room and it took the smell away. You just need to put them in the sun every 30 days and then they absorb odors. We use them in a few places around our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914419 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:28:08 +0000 Corduroy 2914419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As someone who recently found two old pee soaked pull ups in her 4 year old's room, could there be a lost one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914417 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 11:21:36 +0000 MrsADS 2914417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, I should have clarified- the pull-up isn't leaking. It's just that being filled with pee all night makes his room stink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914414 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 10:45:19 +0000 MrsSRS 2914414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sizing up in absorbency, maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914404 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 09:43:23 +0000 BUNBUN 2914404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use this on top of his sheets. super easy to throw in the washer, terry cloth like a towel, and not noisy (crinkly) at all<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076G3L6S6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076G3L6S6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-4yos-room-reeks-of-pee#post-2914402 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 09:36:52 +0000 MrsADS 2914402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HELP. My 4 year old sleeps in a pull-up and wakes with it full of pee every morning (fine with me - he is not ready for night-time potty training). </p> <p>The problem is, his bed, sheets, and really his whole room just REEKS of pee all the time! It is so gross. Washing the sheets helps, but I don't have time to wash his bedding every day. </p> <p>Anybody have any hacks? </p>
