Dry pailing, how to reduce odour?

[storm]

I just stuck one of those duck toliet disc thingies on the lid of my bucket.I'm stick of getting overpowered when I open the lid.I hope it still smells nice even without the water running over it.

I'll let you all know how it goes in a few days LOL

I use tea tree oil too.

I've experimented a little with this and actually found that just dumping in a bucket with no lid and allowing the air to circulate round the nappies has worked the best. They only stink while they are fresh and when you disturb them i.e. getting them out of the bucket to put in the washing machine.

Everytime I use the lid on the bucket the smell gets so overpowering and the condensation build up in the bucket just makes it worse. I have tried various smelly (or de-smelly) things in there and found that although they masked the smell a little I still found it didn't completely overpower it so then I had two smells combined which I hated!!

Not sure if DF will be ok with the open bucket. As its me who washes them, I guess I have to deal with it. But I have found the smell to be tolerable now, as I'm not opening the back door in the morning, letting sun into the laundry. So now the bucket is in the shade, its not smelling so bad. I put eucalyptus oil in the bucket, letting it drip around the rim, and that helps.
