Bathroom smells of old wee

7 replies

I think it’s a combination of a leak (now fixed) plus my boys missing the loo and splashing. I’ve tried bleach, flash and washing up liquid but when it’s hot I can smell it.

Any other suggestions?

What type of floor is it? The wee may have got under the flooring via the bottom edge of the pedestal.

The leak may have damaged the underfloor.

So Flora is your friend here. Diluted and sprayed liberally on and around the lavatory multiple times it seems to have shifted the stale wee stink in our bog

It’s laminate so I guess that’s a possibility. Any way to save it? Or do I need to reflow?

In all honesty a steamer is the only thing to totally sanitise a toilet area. It's not pleasent but it gets rid of all residual smells. Chemicals just don't seem to cut it.

I'd take the laminate up, see what's happening underneath, clean or replace depending on the damage, then lino it with a good seal around all edges and pedestals.
