How to reduce nappy bucket odour??

[BabyMama]

thanks for the eucalyptus idea - will try that when i clean the bucket out.

I've switched to using a nappy bucket liner inside the bucket to contain the smell. It's waterproof and washable. So it can go in the wash with the nappies. Also means I don't have to get my hands in there any more to load a bucket of nappies into our front-loader, which was a disgusting job for sure.

Yay for no more horribly smelly buckets! And I don't have to disinfect the bucket all the time now, either.

I have a pail liner too - happy tushies I think. I bought mine in 2007 when I was pregnant. I notice now tho there are Aus mums making them too.

I think the bicarb is a great idea. lemon oil would be nice too.

I am very naughty and wet pail - I can't stand the smell of dry pailing.

Bicarb is excellent, some essential oils are great too but try putting them around the rim of the bucket or in the lid rather then in with the nappies as some kiddies can have reactions to essential oils on their skin

you can get these discs called Citrus Circles ..they are cheap as, you can get them at Nappies Covered

i wipe mine out with tea tree when empty - you could use an old cloth for this and just leave the cloth in the bottom of the bucket until next wash if you wanted to!
