Chemical Free Deodorizers for Cloth Diapers and Diaper Pails...carpet deodorizer .


Let's cut to the chase. You have stinky cloth diapers that have made you consider resorting to disposables (don't deny it, we both know it's true). You've tried a few things, even those little plastic-y orange disksthat are supposed to wedge into the top of your diaper pail but (1) they always fall into Mt. Stinky Diapers and (2) they don't work well, anyway. Now you are ready to slap a Stick Em onto the diaper pail lid and call it good....carpet deodorizer .


Don't despair! Help is on the way!

Don't Resort To Chemical Deodorizers

Clark County, Washington posts the following warning on their recycling webpage:

Diaper Pail Deodorizers may contain naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Inhalation of naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene vapors may result in headaches, swollen eyes, a stuffy head, anorexia (loss of appetite), nausea, vomiting, and throat and eye irritation. Symptoms from ingestion include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver and kidney damage, and a reduction in the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells. ...carpet deodorizer .



Diaper Pail Deodorizers should be disposed of as a hazardous waste.

Did you catch the part about how diaper pail deodorizers are "hazardous waste?"

My Preferred Natural Deodorizing Method

Unlike many cloth diaper users, I do not rinse diapers in the toilet. Ever. If there is a solid poop, I dump it into the toilet. Otherwise, everything goes into the same plastic diaper pail, lined with a washable pail liner.

I use a Wahmies Diaper Pail Liner because it comes with a patch of hemp cloth for holding the essential oil of your choice. I add a few drops of tea tree oil, which has a very strong scent but it isn't nauseating or overwhelming. Other choices include lemon grass or lavender....carpet deodorizer .

As you can tell by the brand name, these are made by WAHMs (Work At Home Moms).
