Stinky Diaper Pail!
I've recently started going longer between CD washes (3-4 days instead of every other day). While I like not having to do laundry as often, the ammonia smell from the diaper pail knocks us over every time we open it, and the nursery stinks. Right now we are using a cheap lidded plastic trash can with a hanging wetbag. I threw a rag with some lavender oil on it into the can (but not in the wetbag), but it doesn't seem to be helping. There isn't much, if any, poop in there because DD's poops have been very predictable lately, so we put in a disposable for that, and we use disposable wipes, and they all go in a diaper champ. So, it's all pee-stink.
Does anyone have any tips on how to cut down on the stink, or am I going to have to go back to washing every other day?
Re: Stinky Diaper Pail!
I was wondering this too. Our lid already doesn't shut all the way, so I think some air is getting in there and the nursery is sometimes rank. I am going to not go more than 3 days between washings and pick up some baking soda at the grocery store and see if that helps. Otherwise, I think we are going to get the Safety First diaper pail that our "IRL" CDing friends use (I just talked to them about it last night).
Thanks for the tips!
