Stinky nappy bucket!

[NibbleCurlynBub]

I have a plastic nappy bucket that I brought with a nice secure lid for dry pailing..

I did it twice (as in for two lots worth of nappies) and decided it was awful.
It REEKED of ammonia.

So I stopped using it and they sit on the floor of the laundry until I get to them which is usually within at least the next day.

But I want them back in my bucket, seeing as the poor bucket is totally abandoned without nappies in it.

So um.. Any solutions to help with the smell. :)

Poor some bi carb soda in the bottom and then some grease proof paper over the top of that! Then put the nappies in. :thumbsup:

It helps with the smell as it draws the moisture causing the smell away!

I did it with DS when he was in nappies as he has REALLY strong acidic smelling pee, and the difference was amazing!

Neat, that is easy! :smiliedance:

I just wipe mine out with vinager, although I have not noticed a smell

I usually wash mine out with lux & hot water each time I empty mine and leave it in the sun for an hour or so, you can also get those orange circle thingys for buckets & wet bags to help neutralise the smell.

I get my orange thingys from Nappies Covered :)

I just pour enough in there to cover the base of it.... not completely... but just enough iykwim.

I also wash it out with hot water once they are in the washing machine and let it air out for a bit before I put more nappies in there!... (well however long it is before the next nappy goes in there... which was usually an hour or two):thumbsup:

I rinse mine with some very hot water and leave the bucket and lid out in the sun for a day.

:) I have washed my bucket out properly between fills, but once I took the nappies out the bucket itself didn't hold any smell. :no:

How do I do that, is there a link somewhere around here? :o

I just start with a freshly washed bucket after each load then throw in a damp facewasher with a few drops of yummy smelling oil ....

Makes it easier !
