A bedside commode is a chair that has a toilet seat and a chamber to collect waste. It can be used over a toilet or by itself.
The answer is yes, you can pour bleach down the toilet. However, it is important to use a bleach that is safe for toilets and to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
If your toilet chair smells bad, there are a few things you can do to clean it and keep it smelling fresh. First, make sure to clean the chair regularly with soap and water. You can also use a disinfectant to clean the chair, especially if someone in your household is sick. If the smell persists, you can try using a deodorizer or an air freshener. You can also try putting a drop of essential oil on a cotton ball and placing it near the toilet chair.

A life has been altered by this chair. Like a personnel tank, it can fit and hold a 6'7" 400-pounder. Never believe reviews that claim the back falls off, the seat pinches, or the pail doesn't fit properly. Only if you try to utilize the splash guard with the bucket and it pushes the seat up too high might those things occur. Splash guard should never be utilized with a bucket placed next to a toilet or as a nightstand. When used by the bed, place 1 or 2 drawstring top trash bin liners inside the bucket, out through the seat hole, and over the seat. Add 1 or 2 plastic grocery bags with the tie loops out the top too. Crush up one or two sheets of newspaper and stuff inside the bags. Pour a few cups of cheap kitty litter on the newspaper. Or, for an even better option, purchase pine pellets from tractor supply, which are 10 times more affordable, lighter, and more absorbent. If you're male and capable, you can flush liquids down the toilet or not. Perform the necessary tasks, add more cat litter or pine shavings (preferred), tie off the bags as necessary, and dispose of in the trash like a diaper bag. Works best with 4 or 5 gallon garbage bags, which you can get on Amazon because they're hard to locate locally. It only takes a minute to prepare and keep it ready to use. And speaking of preparing, this chair might be the difference between sanitary survival and having to burn down your home owing to other probable results if a Katrina incident ever occurs and you lose the restroom facilities. Read the book about humanure to understand the chair's immediate use, which will be obvious to anyone old enough to have used an outhouse. Additionally useful in RVs, tents, hunting camps, and motel travels, it folds up and has no loose pieces. Very little cleanup is required; a simple Lysol spray keeps it fresh. This can and will alter your life, regardless of height, weight, age, or whether you're using a wheelchair or crutches. Additionally, the ability of the chair's height modifications to be adjusted can help with many additional symptomatic issues. This chair ought to be in every home with a resident with special needs. Get this instead of wasting your money on any other kind, style, or size; it can be passed down or resold and will last a lifetime. Seat, lid, bucket, and splash guard are all easily and inexpensively changeable. Godspeed

In search of the ideal bedside toilet for him that could be readily transferred from a bed without rising up, my father and I combed the reviews. We were instantly brought to tears of laughter when searching for information about the commode's stability. Every few reviews, someone complained that they bought the toilet but were never able to use it because their loved one passed away. We were inconsolable because we wondered if anyone had the time to go back to Amazon and post a review stating that their loved one had passed away; it wouldn't seem like the most important thing to do following a death. We even considered selling these disused toilets in some way to get a little additional cash. We then burst out laughing since, at least based on Amazon reviews, buying a toilet seemed to nearly be a death sentence. Well, a week later, I'm writing to tell that we never used the restroom. I'm writing this review for you, Dad. We should have followed our intuition and refrained from purchasing that dreadful toilet.

This was recently bought for an older individual. The setup was simple. The user enjoys the toilet. It is sturdy and big enough for a person who weighs 220 lbs. It's simple to clean. Due of this, I have not bought liners. If the lid is on, there are no smells. There are no problems at all. The price was also reasonable. Some have suggested attempting to fold this toilet. I believe that it does not fold. Simply said, it disassembles for storage. The fact that the toilet can be raised higher without jeopardizing stability or safety is a huge benefit. This can be carried around the house to different rooms because of its lightweight design.

My initial order of the Drive Medical Steel Folding Bedside Commode arrived four days ago in a damaged package and was missing a part. It also had a part that had been severely crushed, which prevented assembly. When I tried to return it, I was told that it was not returnable. When I contacted Amazon later, they promised to give me a replacement or a refund right away. I opted for replacement, and I was instructed to simply discard the initial shipment—there was no need to send it back. Everything is wonderful once we received the replacement Drive Medical Steel Folding Bedside Commode today. It can be adjusted to a wide range of heights and is sturdy and composed of high-quality materials. It only took a few minutes to put it together.I would suggest this item to anyone who requires a bedside toilet. We are using it to prepare for any future medical issues that may arise. It is currently kept in one of our closets, fully assembled. We typically shop with Amazon because of their excellent customer service.

I bought it for my mum. Before she required one, I wanted her to have a bedside toilet. She fell the day after I ordered it and injured her head on the base of some furniture, so perhaps it was a premonition. Even though I get up and assist her every time she needs to use the restroom, I was relieved that she didn't require stitches. However, after this fall, I don't want her to go near the bathroom at night. For both of us, having this toilet has made life considerably simpler.A lot of commodes caught my eye before I settled on this one.The padded seat and back, the drop-down arms, and the adjustable height are nice features. The cut out seat is the one benefit that isn't found on many toilets, though. This is advantageous because it requires less movement when cleaning.— Drawbacks: It baffles me why a firm would put so much effort on a toilet but fail to make the receptacle big enough for the seat. There was a small spill when my mum used the toilet for the first time. Fortunately, I had read some other reviews and noticed that some people had suggested placing a temporary sleeping mat under the toilet. As a result, I had no issues. By moving the receptacle (pushing it forward) and pulling up the plastic commode liners, I was able to resolve this issue (higher). Make sure the broadest part of the bag is placed next to the trash can handles when you attach the toilet paper holders. Pull the plastic toilet liner up so that it is above the top of the receptacle once the container has been covered. Place in place, incline the seat, and make sure the plastic is pulled up to cover any gaps around the trash can. With a little bit more of a barrier created, liquid will be prevented from spilling over the container's top. You can always split a disposable bed mat in half and place them across the front and back if you don't want to use a commode liner, which is what I initially did. I REMAIN... Why would a firm put so much effort into making such a wonderful toilet, only to mess up the most crucial component?The lid presents still another drawback. When not in use, I cover the toilet with the lid. However, the crazy handle they built makes it impossible to handle the lid. In my case, it just slid straight out of my hands and into the bathroom. Therefore, it needs to be handled from the side. To help, I'll probably add some form of grip tape, and I'll look around for another material to serve as a cover.That problems like this are not addressed before mass production baffles me. The task of wiping up urine that leaks out of a poorly made container would be too much for caregivers to handle. I hope the person who authorized the final design did not receive their annual bonus since the folks who design these things need to have to physically use them before the design is approved. Anyway...And one more thing. I believed the instructions needed improvement. I'm competent at putting things together, but it would be helpful if they included some straightforward drawings for commodes. My instructions were read out, which is OK, but the connection for the toilet seat was not mentioned. Reasonably simple to understand However, you want to make sure that it is put together properly when you are placing your kind, elderly mother on one of these devices. Why can't a toilet seat have pictures if my computer already has them? ... as well as a list of any tools required to assemble the item, such as the kind of screwdriver you'll need (for the seat).Having said that, I am content to have this toilet because it helps me feel at ease. The soft foam and seat's design are pretty great. Overall, using this toilet makes caring for my mother much simpler than using the restroom. I will give it 4 stars for the time being. I'll let you know if anything alters.

In order to save my elderly mother from repeatedly pushing her walker down the hallway to the restroom in the middle of the night, I purchased her this. Just for convenience and safety, I was hoping she would be willing to wear it at night, but I was afraid she would reject it at first glance. It turns out that she like it so much that she uses it all day long! She actually only uses her bathroom, which is down the hall, to take a shower or to brush her teeth. The hand bars on this toilet are exactly the appropriate height for her to get herself up and down, plus it is VERY solid and stable. I had not anticipated that it would include a robust bucket with a lid; instead, I had assumed that it would be an open hospital-style basin. Additionally, I didn't anticipate sample liners with gel pads absorbing liquid. I had no idea those existed! There is almost no leaking, so it's simple to just tie up the bag and carry that out by itself. The first few days, I brought the entire bucket outside to tie it up and dump it. I looked about and discovered a different brand of liners/pads that worked perfectly and was MUCH less expensive than the brand that came with my chair. Every day, my mother remarks how much she appreciates not having to drag her walker all the way down the hallway. I cannot stress how much I suggest this!

After surgery, not having to climb stairs to the bathroom was a lifesaver!Both the quality and the customer service are outstanding. To make sure I was assembling things properly, I had to contact regarding assembly. Even though I followed the instructions, they confirmed that one element was put together correctly even though it didn't look like it should be (glad I read the written instructions and didn't just wing it!). They said that if I had put it together as I would have without the instructions, the lid would not close securely, and if I had tried to push it shut, it might have even broken.It appears from a few of the reviews that other people did the same thing and disregarded the rules.I've since purchased an abdominal binder to prevent straining my abdominal incisions, bedside commode liners, and the no rinse foamy wash because I'm now a Medline product convert. I can't remember if it was branded Medline, but I now believe in anything they sell; I wish I'd learned about Medline sooner!

Pro tip: We spray it with a pet enzyme cleaner (Nature's Miracle) to get rid of the stench, and it works brilliantly. I noticed this on another review.35y/o 190lbs 5’10 male. Recently, I lost a lot of function in my legs (I can still transfer and stand for short periods of time, but I can't safely use a walker), so it's been great not to have to trek all the way to the restroom. I use it by my bed at night with assistance and by my couch during the day (unassisted). Even though I've put all of my weight on the handles, until I use just one hand to push down, it won't tip. I've also landed/sat on it very forcefully, and it was no problem at all. It doesn't matter to me that I have no idea how to fold it without pulling things apart because I haven't needed to.

Cleaning a patient after a toilet can be done by using a bedpan, urinal, or commode. The first step is to position the patient on the bedpan, urinal, or commode. Next, the patient is cleansed with a cleansing agent such as soap and water. The final step is to dry the patient with a towel.
Assuming you would like tips on how to empty a bedside commode: The process for emptying a bedside commode depends on the type of commode. Some have a removable seat and bucket, while others have a built-in liner. In either case, it is important to wear gloves and use a disinfectant when handling the waste. If the commode has a removable seat and bucket, lift the seat and bucket off of the commode. Pour the contents of the bucket into a toilet, then flush the toilet. Wipe out the bucket
The process of wiping a toilet patient is not as difficult as one might think. The first step is to make sure that the patient is in a seated position on the toilet. Once the patient is seated, the caregiver will need to gather some supplies. These supplies include a clean washcloth, a mild soap, and some water. The caregiver will start by wetting the washcloth with warm water. Once the washcloth is wet, the caregiver will add a small amount of soap to the cloth. The caregiver will then gently wipe the patient's genital area.
How often should commodes be cleaned? At a minimum, commodes should be cleaned once a week. However, if the commode is located in a high-traffic area, it may need to be cleaned more often.
Most people should change their sheets once a week. If you have allergies or sensitivities, you may need to change them more often.
A bedside commode should be emptied when it is about 3/4 full.
