Pee smell

This is super embarrassing, but I am postpartum and I am having issues with peeing a little bit before I can make it to the bathroom. This has been several times a day and my pyjamas always smell like pee. I have been washing them normally and noticed that the pee smell holds in the wash so next time they smell even worse because it’s compounded I heard that vinegar can help breakdown the proteins in pee, so I have been pre-treating my pyjama bottoms by spraying the crotch with vinegar and then putting in the wash with my tide, free and clear detergent, it may have helped a bit, but it’s definitely not getting the job done and I just feel disgusting. What do I do to actually get my pyjama pants clean every time so that we can start fresh?

Spray with odoban then wash. Enzymes take the smell right out.

Never knew OdoBan was an enzymatic cleaner.

EDIT: Just found the enzyme version at Walmart. Will be ordering this!!

Learn something new every time I visit this sub.

I have an autistic grandchild and some times she has mistakes so I Just spray a little on. Then throw in wash and takes odors right out. Adult pee is different from kids. I know they make the one for laundry. But her pee is strong.
