I used to carry a bag which contained an old towel, some pine o clean spray and spare clothes. If you've ever had a TT'ing child wee in a supermarket or the middle of a shopping centre you'll know how hard it is to find someone with a mop and bucket. And you can't walk away yourself to find them because what if someone slips in the puddle and hurts themselves?! I only needed the 'clean up kit' a couple of times but when I did need it I was sooo pleased to have it. Mop up the wee with one end of the towel, spray with disinfectant, wipe dry with the other end of the towel... move on.
Once my kids were in knickers I didn't ever put them in nappies again during the day. I figured that would just send a confusing message about whether they wore nappies or not. Pull ups didn't work for us as the kids just thought they were like nappies and would wee in them. So, we did a lot of 'Squeezie wees' - the wee you squeeze when you don't really need to go - and I planned our trips according to access to public toilets. Every time we walked past one I would take the kids in for a Squeezie wee.
Like a PP said, my kids refused to wear nappies at night when they moved into knickers during the day. We only had a couple of accidents and I put a Kylie (one of those waterproof mattress cover squares they us in hospitals... don't know any other name for them!) on the bed so the change was easy.
Both of my older kids were TT by 2. My DD because she was ready and my DS because he has renal problems and I was very keen to keep and eye on his urinary flow and function.
Good luck, sounds like you and your girl are doing a fantastic job!
