dry pail

Hi,
just wondering about dry pailing.
I ve always soaked my dirty nappies in water...
and didnt give dry pailing much of a thought.
(eventhough most instructions on the nappies i use mix of Ecobubs, Peapods, B.cheeks suggest dry pail)....and i m getting bit sick of lifting and draining the dirty soak bucket )

so, i m curious how do you eliminate the odour of dry pail? with teatree oil?
do you put in in the bucket, on the nappies?
(wouldnt the oil on nappis cause build up and leaking)
How best to dry pail?

Thnak a lot!!!

i use a lidded bucket - actually a pedal bin - and i dont get smells. i do of course though rinse any pooey ones.

Hi,
thanks for the replies.
oh, i m surprised that a lidded bucket on its own is enough as you say Bizzy. Maybe my girl is a heavy wetter ...lidded bin is ok, untill i open it to add dirty nappy in ( i use liners so no poos there) and then the smell is just quite overwhelming...

anyway, just tried the cloth wipe with bit tea tree oil and it works wonders!!!! even today on 2nd day as i wash every 2 days... Cool!

Thanks a lot & i m diffinitely dry pailing from now on!!!

Glad to see I'm not the only one

Yep, the bucket gets stinky but I just hold my breath!

I put a few drops of tea tree oil in the bottom of the bucket and also rinse it out every second day when it gets emptied. It gets a wee bit whiffy but not too bad.
