I'd say get a liner for the pail.

I don't think they do. I don't have one myself but have seen others use them and I didn't see a liner when the diapers was dropped in. I would probably put a tall garbage bag in it.

Lol, I didn't know what it was either. I learn something new everyday.

I just put them in a large plastic storage tub. I usually wash pads every other day so it doesn't stay in there long and as long as the lid is on there is no smell.

I use detergent and bleach to clean the pads. When they were puppies I would just use the detergent so it would still have their scent on it. Now since they know where the pads are I added the bleach. Gets them smelling good and looking like new every time.

I use a bin outside on my porch. It's a plastic tub and I throw my pee pads in there until there are about 6-8 dirties and then I wash them. In the summer when is hot, I have to wash more frequently. I add 1/2 cup of borax to my loads these days and it works fantastic to remove any residual odors or stains.

Ah! Now I get it. Thanks to others who informed me what this non-dry but-dry wet-bag was .

I use borax too, and I think it really boosts the cleaning without being too 'rough' on the pads.

This may sound like a dumb question, but do you dry your pee pads in the dryer or air dry?

I use the dryer.

I've been using skunk odor remover shampoo for dogs to wash the pee pads, no smell (for me anyways). I store the dirty ones in a garbage bag & use that garbage bag to throw out trash loll.
