using diaper pail, new ammonia smell?
It nearly knocked me out when I went to put the diapers in the wash this morning! I didn't have this problem before we were using the diaper pail, we just had the wetbag on the floor mostly closed and it wasn't an issue. Why the ammonia stink now? Because the wetbag is closed more now?
How do I fix it? Is diaper dust still around, and will that help? (TIA, I'm sure this has been asked before...)

Re: using diaper pail, new ammonia smell?
I've noticed the same since I went from a wicker basket to a trash can for diapers. Also, when I'm at my mom's, if I leave the bit wetbag unzipped, it doesn't smell, but if I zip it, it gets strong fast. It's definitely a circulation issue.
So far my diapers have come out of the wash smelling fine, though, so I haven't changed anything.
