I know it's supposed to contain no bacteria as soon as it comes out of the body, but how about after it's been on the floor for a week? My father in law constantly pees on the floor in our kitchen bathroom. It's a high traffic area which spreads it around if not cleaned up. He refuses to clean it and claims that it doesn't contain bacteria, and says he's "earned the right" to pee on the floor. We clean it on weekends when we get the chance, but the cats litter box is also in that bathroom which causes it to spread more. We are having a baby soon, and I am just so grossed out about the whole thing.
Can someone give me some facts about urine, and maybe some tips on how we can get him to help clean it up?

That is disgusting! I don't know how any person in their right mind would think that would be okay.
Urine is sterile the second it is expelled from a human. Therefore fresh urine can be used to clean wounds in emergencies, when no alternatives are available. Urine only becomes contaminated when it has been standing for a time.
