If you have a child who is a frequent bed-wetter like I do, then you’ve probably noticed how hard it is to get rid of the urine smell from their clothes.
You’re not crazy. That faint pee smell your nose is picking up is still there — even after you wash it.
I thought that I could toss the urine laundry in the washing machine too and run it like I normally do, and it would take care of it, but it didn’t.
Because, little did I know, there’s an extra small step required to get rid of the urine smell from clothes.
Thank goodness, though, the solution is cheap, easy, all-natural, and it works like a charm!
How To Get Rid Of Urine Smell From Kids Clothes
The secret to getting clothes from smelling like urine to smelling fresh again is white distilled vinegar!!!
Vinegar is a great stain and odor remover for this job because it can break down the uric acid in urine.
The best way to get rid of urine smell from clothes is to first complete a full wash cycle using cold water and a cup of distilled white vinegar WITHOUT detergent.
My son’s clothes were quite soiled, so I added vinegar to the liquid detergent dispenser, the fabric softener dispenser, and poured a cup over the clothes before starting the washer.
Once the cycle is complete, run the load again, but this time WITH detergent, and wash on the hottest water temperature recommended for the fabric.
Toss in the dryer and the urine smell will be gone!
Getting Rid of Urine Smell With Vinegar Is Easy
I noticed this vinegar hack worked once I opened the washer and I could no longer smell urine, but my laundry detergent instead!
It was so hard for me to find a solution like this to get rid of the urine smell from my son’s clothes, but I’m glad I didn’t give up. I hope you’ll consider giving this method a try too and letting me know if it works for you!
