OK this is something I have a lot of experience with, both my dogs have their own crates as well as their own beds out in the open. I do not have any problems whatsoever with dog accidents or odors or smells. And I don't bathe my dogs a lot, I just brush daily (they are Belgian Shepherds, double-coated, if I don't stay on top of it, it's out of control).
What kind of crate? Plastic? or metal? Are you using a crate pad? If you are, you need to have two of them and wash one every day. Sorry! Don't yell at me. If they're sharing a crate and it's big enough to pee in, they'll pee in it.
What type of floor is the crate sitting on? Carpet, wood, tile?
Males? Females? Neutered/spayed? Or intact?
Reason you are crating them together? My dogs each have their own crate. It is important to have a small enough crate that the dog will not urinate in it.
How old are the dogs?
Can you put up baby gates (keep them in a kitchen) or an x-pen in your house instead of a crate?
Answer (or not) as you see fit. Those are the questions that popped into my head when I read what you wrote.
