My dad uses a bedside commode for #2 only and a bottle for urine. I feel like we have a good handle on the urine stink from his soiled incontinence pants and the urinal, but for the life of me I can't find a way to prevent the entire house stinking to high heaven when he poops. It's not sitting there or anything. We clean up immediately. The house is just permeated with a horrible stench for hours after and it lingers. I am at a loss, but it smells soooooo gross.
I can't use febreeze. Candles just make it smells lke candles and poop.
His #2 just is overwhelmingly stenchy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just as one example, I recall that Coeliac disease can be diagnosed from "foul-smelling, fatty stool" - so I'm thinking you could do worse than put a peg on your nose, take a sample, and get it down to his PCP for analysis.

I stumbled on something to freshen up my mom's bedside potty, and I find it works quite well. I put mint mouthwash (Listerene) in her potty after emptying and cleaning. It leaves her room smelling minty, and doesn't smell like a "cover-up" like some candles and room spray tend to do."
