Natural Deodorizer for Diapers and Diaper Pails

White vinegar has been used for generations in my family. Pour it into the diaper pail. The old fashioned way took care of whitening cloth diapers and keeping the smell away as they put them in water after rinsing them out. My great grandmother passed this to my grandmother and my grandmother to my mother. Yes even my mother used cloth diapers for a while. Then along came plastic diapers which the generic name has now become pampers even though there is a brand called pampers out there. Pour a little vinegar into the bottom of the pail. Vinegar is much more pleasant smelling than diaper pail smell. It is all natural. It also is easy to clean out when you remove the plastic diapers. Just a wipe with a paper towel and its clean again. Pour some more white vinegar in there and once again you are on the road to a nice, natural smelling diaper pail.

Another all natural wonderful smelling cure is clove oil. Keep it handy near the diaper pail. When you smell the diaper pail pour some clove oil over the diapers and it smells like cloves. All natural, non-destructive. The better way of using the clove oil is that even when you remove the diapers the pail still smells like cloves.

If you are into the outdoors you can always go outside and snip a couple of small branches off a cedar tree (preferrably one that needs to be pruned anyway) and place them into the bottom of the diaper pail. Cedar lasts a long time and is often used in making trunks and chests because of its long lasting smell. Also, if you prefer the smell of a Christmas tree you can also trim a couple of small branches off of a fir tree. Maybe even pine. Please be sure the trees need to be trimmed in order to protect the environment.

All of the above are all natural and can be used in a Green Environment. No harm will come to anything when using these products. Most of us have access to any and all of the above to use. I am sure you will be happy with one scent or another in your home.
