Stinky diaper pail
Our diaper pail reeks, even when empty. I spray it with lysol air freshener (thinking the disinfecting would kill the odor causing bacteria but no luck. Thankfully we're headed into colder weather so it won't be needed (we only use it in warm weather), but how do I de-stinkify it before storing it in the basement for winter, and so I don't have to smell it for the rest of summer/fall? I thought of just pouring a bleach/water mixture (entire gallon of bleach and adding water to fill to top) but not sure how much that would help. I've tried letting it sit in the sun and nothing seems to help. Any tips?
Re: Stinky diaper pail
Sposies. We used cloth with DS1 but when we found out we were having twins we decided that cloth for 3 just wasn't something we wanted to deal with.
Scrubbing with baking soda and drying in the sun removes any smells in my pail. Perhaps a little vinegar might help too.
It might be that the smell has leeched into plastic. That happened with our one pail that we used for 4 years, and no amount of scrubbing or sunning did it any good. We replaced it at that point as we figured 4 years was a decent run.
