Decorating with poo

My toddler girl has taken to smearing her poo everywhere.

Pic from TwitPic

Usually it's when she wakes up in her room, which with 2 naps and overnight gives her 3 opportunities a day. She's averaging once a day, some days we have none, others we have 2, or even once three. Often the first I know she's done it is the smell hits me, she's bloody stealthy. Doesn't matter what I dress her in, she will get it off.

It's on the 2 cots and one bed (her sisters too) the sheets, the teddies, the carpet, the wall, the mat, the toys, the radiator, the door, the stairgate, the window (she climbs too), the blinds, and worst of all her little sister, her hair, her face, oh Jesus I can barely even describe the vileness.

My friend lent me a carpet washer- even that's not fully clearing the smell anymore. I can't keep doing this. It's 2 hours for a quick clean up, 4h worst so far. We just can't go on. I've even tried contacting Jo Frost.

HELP ME PLEASE Mumsnet.
