i have mine in a child's play pen. and i have lots of air freshener. it's easy to clean. i wrap the pad for the play pen in 2 sheets and then put a told on top of the pad, folded in half and then also wrap a towel around the pad. it's easy to clean. i shake off poop in my grass and fertilize my mom's plants then wash the towels. it doesn't stink at all. i hope she lets you! good luck
