I am having a nightmare with my hubby mainly at night. I have nappies & pads supplied by incontinence nurse & also buy pull-up pants. I use the pull-up's when we go out "easier" but at night time he absolutely soaks the bed. I bought pants which hold up to 2200ml. How can anyone wee that much!!! I have also put pad & nappy, nappy & pant & also pads anything to stop him from getting so wet. He will sometimes use his urine bottle but has a tendency start weeing before the bottle is in place ending up with either the floor or me getting wet. The worst thing is he won't let me wash him in the night and does become agitated.
I suppose I'm lucky that at the moment he is just wet.
My family have said to get single beds but not sure (what do you think?) I don't very often get wet from him.
My first job every morning is to wash the bedding & PJ's on 60 degrees, is this hot
enough & should I be disinfecting the washer?
All for 1 and 1 for all
Sorry I can't help with the incontinence.
Since most clothing, linen nowadays states a 40 degree wash, I have cleaned and sanitised the washing machine every 3 three months
When mum was incontinent I did it once every couple of weeks
I dont use the ones you can buy, as they dont leave the machine smelling as nice and sweet as my method , plus my method requires a 90 degree washes, which to my mind is more bacteria unfriendly
1) I use a good couple of handfuls of, Baking soda on the longest boil wash
when you open the door, dont worry about any less than fresh smell, the next step will sort that out.
2) A bottle of Distilled vinegar ( white vinegar) and another boil wash,
once finished keep the door open, any vinegary smell will soon go
My hubby and I recently relocated,he has had a traumatic brain in jury,with resulting dementia. He has better bowel/bladder control than he did yrs.ago,but it is NEVER certain . One day as we were going for a neighborhood walk,in our rural area...we met two of the young gentlemen who live near,"Bob" took off,in a real hurry,while we were introducing ourselves he had a bowel movement! It seems the signal"to go" is delayed to the brain. This has been going on for over six yrs.now. We continually have to adjust going on jaunts to the store,etc. I am never able to relax. we carry extra clothes in the car,etc.but going for a walk is a different story.
When you do these washes do you also have clothes in or is it just an empty drum. I must admit I have never even thought about it.
I sometimes put soda crystals in along with the wash but never with an empty machine.

Looking round the internet, found Napisan, which I had already heard of but never thought of using. Does anyone else use it on soiled underwear/bedding?
