"I do have dogs an 3 kids in nappies but I double bag everything, it gets cleaned every time it get emptied but the stench is horrendous."

Users took to the comments to share solutions including product recommendations.

One person suggested: "Jeyes bin powder or bin buddy powder."

One member of the cleaning community group also had a more budget-friendly idea for stopping nasty bin smells from dog poo and nappies.

The top contributor to the page recommended: "Neutrodol from savers."

Neutradol Bin Odour Destroyer is available at The Range for £1 and can be purchased from Savers for £1.09.

In its product description, the bin odour destroyer is said to keep "your bin completely free of bad smells caused by old food and household waste.

"The dry powder formula means no sticky residue. Use frequently and your bin will remain pleasant and fresh smelling".

The Range says that the product is particular well-suited for those with dogs or children (but should be kept away from both) and be used on both indoor and outside bins.
