I recently refilled the cartridge with the right amount of A&amp;H baking soda. Now the diaper smell is HORRIBLE. What do I do??

The diaper smell is horrible in itself. It's why you have to make sure you close the bin all the way. Regardless, every time you take the bag out, some smell is still going to seep out when you throw it out. It's not a panacea to diaper smell. it's only better than a lot of diaper bins out there.

No I did not get that smell but you may want to try some baking soda in a bowl and leave it in there for awhile.

I had the same problem and was immediately disappointed, it took about as long s you have, but I washed it out wi a vinegar solution like you might use in your frig. Then try it out with some bread inside. Even if you think that you can still smell it the bread really does come out OK. I've had mine since last May hope this helps.

I had the same problem. tried cleaning, and using it. The bad smell and taste never went away. So i sent it back. I agree smells like burning plastic.

I couldn't use mine for nearly 6 months because of the smell. Now after using baking soda and lots of fresh air it has no smell and I love it.l

Hello Ana,I have the same problem. I tried the baking soda and it didnt' work. Did it work for you or did you find something else that worked?

Have had no problems with bad odors after any use. But you can always try baking soda, hydrogen peroxide or vinegar (just one of those) if you have odor issues.

The carbon filters that came with my purifiers and the replacement ones I've bought either in a store or from Amazon (couldn't find them in stores anymore!) have been black with specks of white baking soda. The baking soda is for odor absorption and the color should not affect the performance of the actual filter. One unit I have had reviews of smelling like wet diapers; I did notice this when it was new, but less so since replacing the filter. Interesting comment about the newer filters not having baking soda and not neutralizing cooking odors; so far this has not been a problem with my garlic and ginger stir fries, neutralizes the air well.

Hi, I would try cleaning it with white distilled vinegar. It will kill the smell if you get it into/under the gasket/seal. Hope this helps.

Ugh, yes!! I ran four batches of ice through and a couple cups of vinegar hoping it would help but it hasn't! I am afraid to feed the ice to my kids because of the toxic smell!! How in the world do we get it to go away!?

We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the smell of the product. The smell comes with all freshly manufactured products. At times the manufacturer uses different types of plastic that initially give off a smell. The manufacturer uses materials which are safe, non toxic and phthalate free. The smell will go away with regular washing. Soaking the toy in warm water and baking soda will help the smell fade. Once you have finished soaking it, dry it completely and then dust it off with cornstarch. Cornstarch which will absorb any moisture or smell.

The inside of mine smelled pretty bad when I first got... I think se hot soapy water will do the trick.

I wish I could help you concerning the odor. I never opened the one I bought up. It was a replacement for someone in the family. I accidentally Machine WASHED hers and it Ruined it! Don't wash it, take it to the cleaners and ask them is my suggestion.

I originally used the suggested litter... worked great BUT the urine smell became horrible. It would just sit on the bottom and build up... currently I use the clumping litter and the problem now is that the hole is not big enough to allow the pee clump to pass through...

I use a small panty-liner pad in it. You may as well. I have only occasionally had an odor. When I do, I use white vinegar on it to kill any residual orders. Hope this helps in some way.....
