Is there something they dont like like viniger or cleaning agent or something i can spray or put on things so it wont do it there??Is there anything i can spray or put on things to keep rabbit from going to the bathroom on it?
Not really. Vinegar will help you to clean the areas, but won't stop them going there. You'll need to go back to the beginning with the house training. Start in a small area, with a litterbox in the bunny's favorite corner (you may need multiple litter boxes if your bunny likes multiple corners). Any accident should be picked up promptly and put in the litter box, clean urine with vinegar or an enzyme cleaner made for pet messes. If you have multiple boxes to begin with, start moving the ones you want to phase out slowly towards the one(s) you intend to keep long-term. Eventually you will be able to pick up the extra boxes and have the bunny using one. It is important to limit her to a single area until she's reliably using the box there. As you increase her freedom in the house, you may need to add more boxes in other rooms. If she likes a specific corner, put a box there, you can start again very slowly moving it towards the box you want to keep.

Also, if your bunny is not spayed, have it done, it will help by eliminating the hormonally based urge to mark territory.Is there anything i can spray or put on things to keep rabbit from going to the bathroom on it?
Keep that little guy outside in a chicken - wire cage... Or someone will think you have an obsession w/ pom poms!
