Ours stinks. I've scrubbed it out with bleach and rinsed it with hot water and soap - still stinks. Then I started using fabreeze scented garbage bags but the stink is uncontrollable.
How do you clean yours? I'm ready to throw ours out!!

@HLK208: I just use disinfecting wipes and spray with Febreze. No issues???

Well our little one isn't here yet but when we clean our garbage cans we take them outside to hose them out then we clean them with bleach and let it dry in a hot sunny place. Afterwards we spray it with lysol disinfecting spray and the smell is gone. Good luck.

Is it plastic? I hear (on the internet, we haven't even bought a diaper pail yet much less used it) that sometimes the stink is just there to stay and you have to throw it out. But the bleach/drying in the sun options sounds like it's worth a try! That's why people seem to like the Ubbi-- the metal doesn't soak up the smells the way plastic does. Again, according to the internet.

I use plastic bags in the pail for disposables, and we've never had a smell issue, but then again we aren't dealing with solid foods poops yet.

@Foodnerd81: yes! I feel like the plastic absorbed all of the disgusting smells? Hmmm.
@Meltini: thanks! I'll try it!

We use a plastic pail and i rinse with pine sol. We spray diaps first though so maybe that helps?
I started hating washing that thing every 3 days so I bought 2 planetwise reusable pail liners last week and I am so happy I did.
