How to Get Smell Out of Diaper Pail

Having a baby can be the one of most wonderful events in a person’s life. While everyone is cooing about the new baby’s face, no one talks about the stuff that comes out the other end. It’s hard to imagine how something so cute and cuddly can produce so much stinky stuff in his or her diapers. It just keeps on coming. The diaper pail becomes Stink Central. Every time you lift the lid, the smell of baby pee and poop is waiting to jump out and pummel your nostrils.

Call in the bigger guns and check out this guide to how to get smell out of diaper pail.

Unfortunately, getting the used diapers into the pail is only half the battle. You will also be faced with being slapped up the side of the head with stank when you empty the pail at some point. Sooner or later, the lid will have to come off and you simply have to accept this fact. Try emptying the pail daily to keep the smell from building in intensity if you can. Letting the diapers sit for any length of time will only prolong the agony and give the waste time to ferment. The suggestions here will help to keep the reek down to a more manageable level when you are dealing with a malodorous diaper pail.

Place it in the bottom of the diaper pail and use a fresh one every two or three months to keep it fresh smelling.

2 Fridge It Out

This product traps the smell particles instead of covering them up. It is safe to use around pets, too. Just hang it close to the diaper pail and it will get work eliminating the stank at its source.

3 Baking Soda Odor Neutralizer

Baking soda is an excellent all-purpose, non-toxic neutralizer. It’s absolutely safe to use in a baby’s room or anywhere in your home. You can add a new box to the bottom of your diaper pail or sprinkle some at the bottom of it, if you prefer. Either way, it will help to keep the smell down. If you decide to use a box, just remember to replace it every two or three months.

4 Scrub with Bleach and Water

Keeping your diaper pail clean means bacteria won’t have the chance to start growing on its inside surface. Wash it regularly with a mild bleach and water solution to keep it fresh. The bleach will help to deodorize it as well. Some people like to use ammonia, but this chemical doesn’t kill bacteria. Bleach is your best bet if your goal is to go after the stench before it has a chance to start forming. If you decide to use ammonia, do not mix it with bleach. Be sure to rinse the pail thoroughly before you replace it in the baby’s room.

5 Take the Problem Outside

How to Get Rid of Smell in Cat Litter

You may love your cat, but the P.U. of litter box odor is something else entirely. The ammonia smell of cat urine is enough to make your own hair stand up at the back of your neck, and it would curl your tail if you had one. The poopy smell is something else entirely, and it’s not shy about giving you a one-two punch to the nostrils if you are anywhere in the vicinity. That stuff could be bottled and sold as a very effective personal protection spray. No one would want to mess with you if you were decked out in “Eau de Kitty Crap.” – it’s just that powerful. If you share your home with one or more felines, you need to check out this guide to how to get rid of smell in cat litter.

If you find the stank exuding from the litter box overpowering, think of how poor kitty feels. Their sense of smell is much more highly developed than ours, and they are quite fastidious about where they go to the bathroom. Staying on top of litter box odor means you are less likely to be dealing with cleaning up cat accidents in other parts of your house.

How to Get Rid of Smell in Cat Litter

1 Keep the Box Clean

If you are going to lay the smack down on smelly cat litter, you need to go after it where it lies. The problem may not be in the cat litter itself, but rather in the box. Regular cleaning with a mild dish detergent (unscented is best) and water or a bleach and water solution (one part bleach to 20 parts water) will help to keep it spic and span. Cleaning the box every week or every other week will make sure that you are adding the cat litter into a clean container.

2 Vinegar and Baking Soda Clean-up

Wash out your litter box with a mild detergent. Wipe it off with white vinegar and let it dry thoroughly. Put a layer of newspaper in the bottom of the box and shake some baking soda on top. Add your kitty litter on top, as usual. With this method, any smelly stuff will be absorbed by the newspaper instead of seeping through to the plastic of the litter box. You can also try placing a dish of vinegar next to the litter box to absorb kitty litter box odors.

3 Clumping Cat Litter Solution

Clumping cat litter is less likely to smell than the type that you are supposed to empty out at regular intervals. When it gets wet, it forms a ball around the liquid that is easy to identify. Simply scoop out the “deposit” your kitty has made (liquid and solid) daily. You will still need to give the litter box a through cleaning as well, but this product should do a good job of keeping the smell quotient to a minimum.

4 Keep the Litter Box Under Cover

You can give your cat some privacy when using the loo and contain the smell at the same time by purchasing a covered litter box. Your best bet is to introduce your pet to this type of box as a kitten. Large cats may find this style too confining, since they have to crawl through an opening every time they need to do their business. The disadvantage to this system is that it makes cleaning the container a bit more challenging. You will have to remove the lid every time you want to clean out the box, and it may be too high maintenance for some pet owners.

Prevent Cat Litter Smell Naturally

1 Offer High Quality Food

If you are holding your nose when your cat takes a dump, reconsider what you are offering as food. A store brand pet food may be cheaper, but that may have something to do with the amount of smell coming from the litter box. Switching to a better quality dry food can help to keep the stinkage down and keep your eyes from watering when you cat uses the box. You may need to test different foods before you find the right one for your cat, so don’t be discouraged if it takes some time to find one that the cat likes and doesn’t reek on the other side.

2 Limit the Moist Food in the Diet

Moist food is a treat that many kitties really enjoy, but it can be like all-you-can-eat beer and burrito nite at your favorite Mexican restaurant. It tastes great going down, but you (and everyone in your house) will be paying for it later. The higher level of moisture in the food tends to create looser, smellier stools for your cat, so offering it as an occasional treat rather than part of a steady diet can help to keep the aromas coming from the litter box down.

3 Water and Plenty of It

Encourage your cat to stay well hydrated and you will notice less stank coming from the litter box. If your kitty doesn’t seem interested in visiting the water bowl very often, you can make this more palatable by adding a small amount of chicken broth or tuna water to it. Put out several bowls in areas where your cats hang out, so that they have a supply available to them at all times. If the following solutions are insufficient in eliminating odor, it may be a sign that you need to visit you pet care credit.

How to Get Rid of Polyurethane Smell

Polyurethane smell is unfortunately one of the necessary evils of working with this common woodworking finish. It is an stench like no other, and it is notoriously hard to get rid of. Anyone who has had their hardwood floors redone can attest to the migraine-inducing vileness that is in your face from the moment you enter the room. It’s not a polite smell and it absolutely takes no prisoners. This stuff plays for keeps. One whiff and you are done. No sense in trying to hold your nose, because it lingers like a mini mushroom cloud of chemicals in the air. You can’t escape it; all you can do is deal with it. The suggestions in this guide focus on how to get rid of polyurethane smell.

It’s not uncommon for a polyurethane smell to linger for several days (or longer) as the liquid coating dries. Moisture in the air will make the drying process take longer to complete. If you have decided to have your floors finished during humid weather, you may need to put up with the stench for awhile. Unless you are deliberately inhaling the fumes, there should not be any long-term health consequences from exposure to polyurethane stink. People who are prone to migraines will definitely suffer while the stuff is going through its off-gassing phase.

How to Get Rid of Polyurethane Smell from Floors

1 Open the Windows

The good news is that the stench from even the smelliest polyurethane will eventually dissipate. You can help the process along by ensuring that the room has plenty of ventilation. Open up the windows to increase airflow and leave them open as long as the smell remains.

2 Box Fan in the Window

Putting a box fan into a window can help to deal with the issue of polyurethane fumes. Set it up in the window and let it run all day. You may be able to borrow or rent this type of fan if you only need them on a short-term basis. This strategy can help to get air circulating and get the smell molecules rounded up and moved out of the space more quickly.

3 Run an Air Purifier

An air purifier is a device that will remove contaminants from the air. Some units are ozone generators that are powerful enough to purify the whole house. You can choose to rent a large one or specify that you want one that will clean the air in a single room if you wish. Follow the directions to remove the chemical smell from the polyurethane and replace it with clean, fresh air.

4 Turn up the Heat

Heat will help the smell from polyurethane to dissipate a bit more quickly. You can turn up the temperature in the room during the day to get the process started. Keep an eye on the weather forecast. If the temperature is going to dip below 50 degrees at night, you will need to turn up the heat in the room where the floors have just been refinished to keep the temperature constant and make sure the drying process continues uninterrupted.

5 Onion in a Saucer of Water Solution

This one may seem a bit unorthodox, but we have it on good authority that it will work. Start by peeling and slicing an onion. Put the slice in a saucer of water and place it in the room to absorb the polyurethane odor.

Remove Polyurethane Smell from Woodworking Projects

1 Move it on Up to the Attic

If you have used the polyurethane on a woodworking project that is relatively small and portable, consider moving it to your attic in warmer weather to take advantage of the sun’s warming qualities. Resist any temptation to put it outside. The sun’s rays will warm up the wood but can damage your project.

2 Rub in Some Sawdust

The issue with stinky polyurethane stems from wet spots on the wood. In a situation where you are using low lustre or satin finish polyurethane on your woodworking project, take a small amount of sawdust and rub it on the surface of the piece. The sawdust will stick to any parts of the wood that are still wet. These are the places that are causing the smell. Buff them with some extra fine steel wool to get rid of the stench.

If you are using plastic dishes, you may find that you are having an issue with a lingering smell of eggs after use. Try spraying them with vinegar after you wash them. Leave it on for a few seconds, and then rinse the dishes as usual. This will get the smell out without harming your food or your plates.

3 Baking Soda Soak

Baking soda is a wonderful product to get rid of funky smells, and egg is no exception. Soak the dishes in a solution of baking soda and water to get rid of any residual egg odor. You may want to give them a second rinse to remove any lingering baking soda powder.

Get Egg Smell Out of Your Dishwasher

Your dishwasher may develop an eggy smell over time. Food particles can get trapped in the nooks and crannies of this everyday appliance as it cleans. All of this definitely increases the yecch factor when you think about the fact that you expect your dishes, glasses and cutlery to be clean when you remove them from the machine. If the machine stars to stink like eggs, it’s a sign that you need to do something.

1 Bleach it Out

The first step to ridding your dishwasher of the gagging stench of eggs is to pull on some rubber gloves and give it a thorough cleaning. This is not a job you will want to attempt bare handed. Next, put a couple of ounces of household bleach in the machine and run a cycle.

2 Use White Vinegar

White vinegar can come to the rescue to smack egg stink out of your dishwasher, too. Pour a cup into the machine and run it empty on a hot water cycle. The vinegar will kill any bacteria lurking inside and restore the machine to a basic level of freshness. It will also cut through any residual soap scum that may be responsible for creating the smell.

A rotten egg smell in your car may be due to a problem with the battery. A really foul stank warrants a trip to a mechanic to get the vehicle checked out if you are not knowledgeable about cars. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your ride.

2 Rent an Ozone Generator

An offensive door in your car may also be coming from your air-conditioning system. Bacteria and microorganisms are present in the air and are drawn into the evaporator while the air conditioner is in use. This moist environment creates an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. Renting a ozone generator is an effective way to remove the odor molecules and break them down into carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

Place the unit in your car. Seal the window near the ozone generator with cardboard and tape. Run it to eliminate the egg smell from your vehicle.

3 Upholstery Cleaner and Febreze

Sometimes you just need to give your car a thorough cleaning to get rid of the egg smell. Wash the interior surfaces with an upholstery cleaner. Follow up by spraying the interior with Febreze and let it dry thoroughly before you drive the car again. This should solve the problem of eggie odor in your vehicle.

How to Get Smell Out of Underwear

When you wash your clothes, you want them to come back smelling clean. This rule is especially important for your underwear. Everyone wants to smell fresh when they get dressed. Dealing with lingering smells of pee, poop or menstrual odors above and beyond what any reasonable person would find acceptable. Bodily fluids and solid waste stuff should leave once and never, ever make its presence known to your nostrils again. It should not be caught lurking in your underwear. That’s just plain nasty. Fortunately, this guide will show you how to get smell out of underwear so you can be fresh as a daisy every day.

The issue when you have stinky underwear is that you don’t know whether you are the only one who notices the issue or not. Throwing out the potentially offensive undergarment is not an option for everyone, but you don’t want to spend your day constantly sniffing around either to see if that offensive stank is coming from you. A much better choice is to use one of the solutions posted here and try to face the stink head on (figuratively speaking, that is).

How to Get Smell Out of Underwear: Pee

1 Add Baking Soda to Your Wash

No one wants to put on underwear that reeks of pee after it comes back from the wash. To get rid of this yecchy stank, you can add some baking soda to your wash water. Rather than cleaning out the supply of small boxes at the grocery store like someone on one of those extreme couponing programs on television, pay a visit to a bulk store to stock up. This is the most economical way to buy the stuff. Add a half a cup with your detergent every time you wash your clothes to get the smell out. The baking soda is safe to use on all fabrics.

2 Pour Some Vinegar into the Water

White vinegar will neutralize the smell of urine in your underwear. If you decide to try this method, substitute the vinegar for your regular fabric softener. Adding the extra product to your wash water can make it more challenging to rinse the clothes thoroughly. To get the pee smell out, you want to give the vinegar a chance to cut through the cut through the water so that it can unlock any trapped stank.

3 Increase the Water Temperature

Washing your clothes in cold water is a good choice if you want to save money on your heating bills, but it won’t help if you are trying to get a urine smell out of your underwear. In this instance, warm or even hot water is a better choice when odor removal is your goal. You can separate out the urine-soaked items from your regular wash and run a load in warmer water. Wash the rest of your clothes in cold water if you are concerned about keeping your overall costs down.

2 Vinegar in a Downy Ball

You can eliminate the crappy smell from your unmentionables in an easy and convenient way by filling a Downy ball with vinegar instead of the fabric softener.

The ball will open up at the right time to release it and you can move on to other things.

3 Scent-A-Way Laundry Detergent

This product was originally developed for hunters, but it can probably handle the stank of feces as well. You have to figure that someone who has been outside in a blind or tramping around in the bush all day must smell pretty rank. The soap works by oxidizing the source of the door. It also prevents any stray matter from redepositing on your other clothes in the wash, which is an important consideration in these delicate matters. The product is concentrated, so a little will go a long way.

4 Febreze it Out

Adding some Febreze to your wash is a another solution to the poopy problem. You don’t need to add a large amount to bring the stank under control. Try a capful (approximately 1/8 of a cup) in your wash.

1 Dish Detergent to the Rescue

How to Get Diarrhea Smell Out of Carpet

Accidents happen and if you have ever been faced with having to clean up a pet accident or a leaky diaper spill, you know how unpleasant they can be. Sometimes all you can do is hold your nose and suck it up. (You may also want to keep your mouth closed when cleaning up this type of mess.) A poopy smell in your carpet won’t go gracefully, though, and this pungent odor will smell like crap for some time after you have done a surface cleaning. We wouldn’t suggest getting rid of Fluffy or Fido or choosing a child-free existence to lower the risk that you may have to deal with this situation. Instead, we offer practical solutions for the problem. This guide will focus on how to get diarrhea smell out of carpet.

No one wants to feel like they are living in an outhouse. To get this particularly offensive smell out, you will need to make sure that no stank molecules are clinging to your carpet fibers. Otherwise, you run the risk of catching a whiff of stray poop when you walk near that area of the room for quite some time after the initial event. Taking the time to deal with it thoroughly from the outset will mean a fresh-smelling carpet and no lingering problems with smell after you have cleaned up the mess.

How to Get Diarrhea Smell Out of Carpet

1 Laundry Detergent and Warm Water

Combine some laundry detergent and warm water and apply it to the spot on your carpet where the poop was plopped. Most brands contain some type of enzymes that work well on this type of odor problem. Let the detergent soak in to the carpet for at least a few minutes. The longer you let the detergent do its work, the more chance it has to get the smell out of your flooring. Blot up the spot with a clean towel when you are ready to clean up the moisture. You may want to use more than one towel. Keep blotting until you get most of the moisture up.

2 Distilled White Vinegar Soak

After removing as much of the er, solid, waste as possible, soak the carpet with distilled white vinegar. It will put the stank to bed quite nicely. It will also help to lift out the stain. The strong smell from the vinegar will dissipate as it dries.

3 Nature’s Miracle from the Pet Store Will Help

Nature’s Miracle is a product that is available at pet stores. If you decide to use this option, make sure that it is your first choice to get the diarrhea smell out of your carpet. It won’t work as well if you have used other detergents or products on the carpet first. Nature’s Miracle has enzymes that work to eliminate the stank from feces quickly.

4 Odoban Cleaner will Get the Stank Out

5 Get it Out with White Vinegar and Baking Soda

To get the poopy smell out of carpet, make up 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water using a half cup of each ingredient. Pour the solution over the stinky spot. Next. put paper towels on the spot and step on them until the towels are completely saturated. You will want the paper towels to absorb the excess moisture from the vinegar and water. Keep repeating the process until there is little or no moisture left on the paper towels.

Then follow up by taking a handful of baking soda and working it into the carpet with your fingers. Allow it to dry overnight. You can help this process along by placing a fan or a heater close to the spot and allowing to run. Once the baking soda is completely dry, vacuum it up from your carpet. Following this process carefully should result in a sweet-smelling carpet with no trace of a crappy smell after the event.
