Cleaning advice/products to clean #1 and #2

Hi there,

So I am a carer for my both elderly parents, they're both incontinent and cleaning up fast and efficient has become a learning curve for me. I am curious if there's any good mops out there or tips or advice in cleaning both urine and the occasional poop lol.

I currently use disposable mop wipes but as its quite wet the laminate flooring can absorb too much and i don't want to ruin the floor.

tldr (quick and fast cleaning) would be beneficial for me rather than pulling out the bad boy bucket and mop every day 😵

Do they wear incontinence pads/pants?
Is it beds or floors you are cleaning

Vileda spin mop and bucket are really good. You can get replacement heads. I know it’s a mop and bucket but excellent. Leave out with disinfectant water.
You can use puppy pads for extra absorption in the bed also good for the floor.
If bedpans are involved are you using the crystals?
Clinell wipes ( used in hospitals) are great for surfaces etc.
You should be able to get a bigger bin from your council for extra waste.

If you go on incchoice you can get to it through age uk there is pads to wear or for putting on chairs or beds and specific cleaning fluids for urine . They need to be wearing incontinence pads as much as possible

Our council do extra bin days and provide an extra general waste bin.

excellent thank you for that bit of information! I've been on there and i'm so glad they've got everything in there VAT free. Will be trying the bed pads and cleaning products from there!
