Ah, ain't nothing prettier than a bunch of newly washed cloth diapers. |
And yet, I also find myself hating them. When they're soiled, they're just so darn stinky. Pee eww. Ever since Baby Chuck started eating solid foods, his waste has taken on a different odor. Hubby describes the smell like "cinammony dead cat," whereas I think it's more of a "sweet week-old fish."
Our last load of soiled diapers was so pungent that I almost passed out on my way down to the laundry room. Hubby suggested that I wear a double vent gas mask next time, but I figured I'd just open a box of baking soda and leave it next to our diaper pail. But then, after finding this deodorizer and this DIY air freshener, I felt inspired to make something similar. I poured baking soda into an old jam jar, cut out two heart shaped vents from a piece of fabric, and then sealed the jar up.
Smells, be gone! |
