    Odd "Pee" smell in bathroom
    We have a 4 year old and as most know, they can get distracted.. so we clean the bathroom almost every other day...

    We then realized that all the cleaning doesn't get rid of the odd "Pee" smell. We cleaned everying - walls, tile, toilet, sink you name it and it got blasted by pinesol.

    The smell still appears and I can't seem to figure out where its coming from?
    Below the tile? Toilet leak? Drainage? HELP HELP HELP.. :eek:

    If the tile is cracked it's possible. Also check if there is space under the tiolet. Then use bleach. Once dried, cock around the toilet base to avoid it going under.

    If you decide to clean and take off the toilet, which is probably the best solution at first, I would also caulk around the base but DO NOT CAULK all the way around the toilet. This is the way you find most toilet leaks BEFORE they cause real damage to your wood sub-flooring.
