If there are any diapers remaining in the top portion of the Genie, push them down into the bottom portion of the Genie. Take care to go slowly when opening your Genie. You don’t want to make a mess!
Try to cut the bag approximately six inches above where the diapers are stashed. The cutter is located in the center of the top portion of the Genie. You should be able to easily spot it, as long as your Diaper Genie is open.
Make sure to tie your knot extra tight. Otherwise, you run the risk of leaks and bad smells. Keep your foot on the pedal to prevent your Diaper Genie from tipping over. [4] X Research source
Consider putting in a small deodorizer at the bottom of the pail if you want to prevent odors. You’ll know the Genie has closed successfully when you hear the top snap shut. You should pull out about 18 inches (46 cm) of bag to prepare for the next use.
You’ll need to pull about 18 inches (46 cm) of bag to prepare for the next use. If you don’t remember to pull out enough bag for next use, don’t worry. Just be cognizant that you’ll be able to fit fewer diapers in your bag than you’re used to.
The clamp is located in the middle of the top portion of the Diaper Genie and is used to secure the bag in place. After securing the clamp, double check that you’ve tied off the bag. There’s nothing worse than realizing you forgot to close the bag, after the diapers are already in the pail.
If you smell an odor coming from your Diaper Genie, without the Genie being opened, it’s time for a clean out. Try to clean your Diaper Genie whenever you change the bag. Wash your Diaper Genie out with soapy water. Wipe it down with a bleach-based cleaner, then allow it to dry in the sun. [7] X Research source
To fit the maximum number of diapers inside your Genie, roll the diapers tightly. To prevent the contents of the diaper from spilling out during transit, secure the diaper using the diaper’s adhesive tabs.
If your Diaper Genie is not full and it’s still not closing, there may be a diaper obstruction you can’t see. Check to make sure pieces of diaper are not stuck in your Diaper Genie lid.
