I clean my toilet once a week. After I clean it, no problem it's fine. But it never fails...about a day or so later, it smells like urine again--just like it would if I let it go over a week before being cleaned again. Do you know of any products that will take the smells away?

I had this problem and as it turned out, the wax seal on my toilet had to be replaced. The wax seal/ring is at the bottom of the toilet, in between the toilet and the floor. It "seals" the gasses, odors, etc from escaping. My husband replaced ours but you can have a plumber do it if you don't have anyone who is willing and/or able to do it.
I know what you're going through, I was washing the bathroom rugs, scrubbing, blaming it on the dog...it was frustrating to say the least.
I also manage a motel and had a couple complaints about the bathroom in this particular room smelling of urine and it turned out to be the same thing.So, it's something to check, anyway. Good luck!

If you unscrew the entire toilet from it's base, you will see a large pipe. Detached the entire toilet and check for a rubberish/waxy ring. This ring makes sure there are no leaks from the toilet itself to the plumbing. As time goes by, the ring becomes old and leaks may make it's way through the pipes creating the urine smell. The rubber ring can be bought at your local hardware store, but I forget what it's actually called. A little elbow grease and a few bucks will get rid of the smell.

Someone in your household must need "target practice". The only other option is daily cleaning.
If it seems as though the urine has gotten into a wooden or concrete floor or an area around the toilet, after thoroughly cleaning it, use a sealer like Kilz or some other floor sealer.

try the things that you hang over the side of the toilet, or the stuff you put in the tank that turns the water blue. you could also clean the rug around the toilet sometimes men or boys miss the bowl and the smell could be in the rug.

If the top and side are clean on the outside,when you flush the toilet it might not be swirling around the entire inside of the bowl,hence the urine smell.Its just not rinsing it down.

Use TY-D-Bowl, the little circles you drop in the tank and it makes the water blue. They have scented ones too but their main purpose is to keep your toilet clean so you don't have to clean it as often.

I suppose you could pee in the sink. Short of that, I think it's reasonable to clean twice a week and see if that helps.

IT'S NOT YOUR TOILET-IT'S PROBABLY THE MATERIAL YOU HAVE SURROUNDING YOUR TOILET THAT'S THE CULPRIT-SEE WHEN YOU CLEAN IT SMELLS LIKE THE CLEANER YOU USED, TEMPORARY ODOR COVER. THEN THE NEXT DAY BACK TO REALITY OF PISS SMELL. TRUST ME FROM EXPERIENCE OF EITHER CLEANING/REMOVAL OF TOILETS THAT IT'S FURTHER EXTENT GOES BEYOND THE PORCELAIN.
