How Rid The Home Of Poop Smell

[Lorna]

I put dirty diapers outside immediately after changing. spray a little Lysol spray around when its stinky. Winter is the worst with the windows closed.

My friend and I opened our daycare at the same time -- her house always smells sooo good ............ I asked her what it is .. and it was Scentsy.

I would wrap my individual diapers and toss in a trash can located outside ... and I have Scentsy going at all times! My parents come in and no longer say ohhhhhhhhh someone let a stinky ..now its ohhhhhhhh what are you warming today it smells sooo good in here ... its safe and wont burn!

I was soo in love with this product I sell it!!!

If the diapers are particularily bad, or if it's summertime, I use the diaper baggies, and all poopy diapers get tossed into the garbage just outside my backdoor.

I have airfresheners around the house, but they are usually empty because I forget to refill them. But just recently I purchased some essential oils to make homemade sprays and cleaners, they leave everything smelling so yummy. You can even make air freshener and fabric refreshers using essential oils.

I remember my house smelling so bad all the time, since moving the diapers outside, it just takes a few moments for the lingering poo smell to disappear.

wow i just went back and read a few posts, i didn't realize so many people used essential oils too! . you can make it out of vinegar as well, don't have to have the vodka. the essential oils hide the vinegar smell. I have also just used filtered/distilled water, and essential oils. as long as you don't spray it directly onto something that might react to the oils, it's fine.

But something to remember is, essential oils lose the potency if not stored in a bottle that will keep out the light. so if you're mixing cleaning products or air fresheners, it's a good idea to use dark bottles.

I use a diaper genie and the Arm&Hammer bag refills. I keep it in my bathroom and it fits perfectly between my toilet and the wall.

On top of the I follow diapering procedures very close to centers and use gloves so I just hold the diaper in one gloved hand and with the other hand I pull the glove over the diaper and then hold the diaper with the other gloved hand and do the same. It encloses the diaper inside the gloves ... I heard tell that this is called a "diaper bomb" ::.

Even before I did the "diaper bomb" the diaper genie helped keep a lot of the odor down. Every other day I would empty it.

I use the glove trick too (I love the term Diaper Bomb! : and also have a diaper genie in my bathroom. I don't have the arm and hammer bag refills but I've found a few shakes of the DH's odor eaters for his stinky work boots works wonders! ::

I see this is an old post, but I have a few tips, so will add:

--I bag diapers in whatever small bags are available--mostly bread bags. They go in the bathroom trash, which is emptied daily. If the trash can starts to stink at all, I drop in a few drops of tea tree oil; fixes it right up.

--When someone stinks up the bathroom, I light a match. Burns off the stink, I guess! (Learned from a friend who has a cute vintage wall-hung match dispenser on the wall by her toilet!)

I run dirty diapers out to the garbage can right away. I also have a Scentsy tart warmer I turn on at drop off and pick up. For a quick fix during the day I use Citrus Magic spray - it's just essential oil, not chemicals.

I use a odor free diaper disposal from the first years. It's similar to a diaper genie but it has it's own filter which takes away the smell, and it has two "arms" on the top that keep the diaper hole closed until you push the lid down and then the lid forces the diaper into the pail and closes the arms up again automatically. It's the bomb diggitty.
