Yuck!! Diaper pail question

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
How do you wash out your diaper pail? I have the arm and hammer. It has been great but now that James has more solid poops, it's getting really gross. I was thinking I might wipe it down with bleach or vinegar. Or should I just buy a new one? I took out the full bag today and it's not the bag that smells but the actual pail itself. Thoughts?

    Can you wipe it down and then leave it in the sun for a few hours? The sun should get rid of the smell.

    I tried washing ours with comet and super hot water, then let it sit outside to dry overnight. It helped for less than a week and it went right back to being smelly. I even keep a box of baking soda in the bottom of ours. I'm thinking I'll just buy a new one! Ew!

    I use scrubbing bubbles and it cleans up great!

    Every time I empty our diaper genie I wipe the inside with a lysol wipe - I figure it kills any germs and I use the lemon scent so it smells fresh.  I 2nd the PP who said let it sit in the sun - that always makes things smell better!
