Stinky diaper pail problem solved!

Dec1st · 09-03-2009, 12:42 PM

I'm using cloth diapers and EC, so I don't have many wet diapers and no poopy ones, but I also don't have to wash diapers everyday. Still, the diaper pail stinks! Finally, I found a solution. Lee Valley sells volcanic deodorizers. I taped one to the lid of my diaper pail and it works like a charm. Five stars from me!

Ooh those look like fun!

I really need something for our cloth pail too. The ammonia smell is SO GROSS.

Thanks Dec1st! I have been using cloth diapers for 2 years now, and sometimes walking into that room in the summertime is enough to knock you out!! The ammonia is pretty hard to take, but I wouldn't change a thing. I love cloth diapers. It's one of the best choices we made! Besides the ammonia is strong but it's not as bad as stinky disposables... Great tip!!

Apparently I'm a moron and can't find the product you mentioned in the store. Do you have a product number? Thanks

Diaper smells really sucks so a deodorizer is a must. I prefer cheaper deodorizers.

Here's something I did for our cloth diaper pail:

Sew a small patch of an absorbent material (like an old towel/washcloth) into the wet bag, near the top.

Each time you replace the bag, put a few drops of essential oil or fragrance oil on the patch of material. I got a bottle of Clean Linen fragrance oil at WalMart for $1.88.

It smells fabulous and I love getting a whiff of a clean smell when I walk in my son's room rather than the smell of dirty diapers.
