Hi, I'm fairly new to the caregiving world, taking care of my grandmother who got sick quite suddenly. How do you recommend using the bedside commode she uses during the night? I wash it but it's a hassle honestly. I saw commode liners online, anyone tried it?

When I buy it I'll leave a review below this way you know it's good!
The most popular answers lined the potty with toilet paper - kind of roll it loosely around your hand and place in the bucket. They said easier to dispose of it because poop is on the top of the paper.

Dump the pot in the toilet, wait until it flushes, then use the clean toilet water to rinse. I use a toilet brush and a squirt of Dawn if necessary to give it a scrub. Rinse again and flush. I also use Clorox scrubbable disinfectant wipes on the platform (seat) area.
After a while I didn’t even spend time thinking about what I was doing. Just did it.
