I'm not too stressing about the plastic one since it's hopefully just temporary. I guess I should just get some nice scented bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-stink-out-of-a-diaper-pail#post-1087568 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:34:34 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1087568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: gotcha! Good luck de-stinking!! We love our ubbi. Hope you can make the second one work for you without the stench as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-stink-out-of-a-diaper-pail#post-1087548 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:15:14 +0000 HLK208 1087548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bleached ours, rinsed it with the hose, laid it in the sun and sprayed Lysol after it was dry. It helped a little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-stink-out-of-a-diaper-pail#post-1087547 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:13:39 +0000 kjpugs 1087547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: nope, we need to use both rooms at different times, thus the reason we bought one. It doesn't smell unless I put my face in it, I just thought maybe there was a secret I didn't know :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-stink-out-of-a-diaper-pail#post-1087539 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:08:44 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1087539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe just bring the ubbi into your room til you need it in the nursery? De-stinking a smelly diaper pail is nearly impossible in my opinion cuz the issue is usually the seal holding in the smell, not the container itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-stink-out-of-a-diaper-pail#post-1087536 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:06:18 +0000 chopsuey 1087536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baking soda? vinegar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-the-stink-out-of-a-diaper-pail#post-1087533 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:05:26 +0000 kjpugs 1087533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a metal diaper pail (Ubbi!) for the nursery but since baby will be in our room temporarily, we got a very cheap one secondhand in great condition. It's very clean and works well, but since it's plastic.... it's still holding on to that delightful diaper stank. I cleaned it with 409 and threw some dryer sheets in there for a week, but it's the same. Any tips? Or do I just have to deal with it? </p>
