Condition analysis:
Start by checking to make sure that her diapers or incontinence briefs fit her well and aren't leaking. Where does she put the used diapers or briefs after they're soiled? If she hasn't yet bought one, you should recommend that she buy a special bin for soiled diapers, like the one you would use for a baby's diapers; this keeps odor from seeping out.

You should also check to see if your mother has had accidents. Vinegar and water with a little elbow grease can lift the smell out of upholstered furniture or bedding. Clean her carpets or get them professionally cleaned. Find out, too, if she's letting soiled laundry sit around. She should also use a covered clothes hamper.
If she's willing, your mother can take an oral supplement that reduces or eliminates odor by deodorizing urine. It's called chlorophyllin copper complex and it's probably available at your local health food store. But check first with your mother's doctor to find out if it's safe for her. Anyone taking blood thinners or antibiotics, or anyone with kidney failure, shouldn't take it.

Instructions:
Apple Cider Vinegar is well-known as a health tonic. Its functions are removing toxins and prevent infections on the bladder. Furthermore, vinegar is excellent for losing weight. The reason is because overweight especially on the abdomen and hips will pressure the bladder which can cause Urinary Incontinence.

How to use:
Dilute 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw apple cider vinegar with a glass of water
Put in a little bit of raw honey
Consume 2 to 3 times per day until there are positive results

Note: In case you have an overactive bladder or your bladder is irritated from consuming the liquid, avoid using apple cider vinegar.
