Smells like DIY spirit

Do you ever find that despite best efforts to contain things there is a distinct "toilet" smell lingering after you've changed your baby? This is particularly unpleasant when you change your baby in the nursery, say just before you put them to bed and they are now in that room for the rest of the night?

Well - there is a REALLY great solution (i.e. other than burning a match - which you should probably never do in the nursery). Here's the DIYFather approach to dealing with bad smells in the nursery. Get a small bowl (just about any bowl will do), put a squirt of your favourite shower gel, scented bath or liquid soap in it and fill it with hot water from the tap (not boiling water - just hot). Put it in the room (well away from your child or electric appliances) and close the door. After 5 minutes you should have a nice smelling room. RESULT!

I'm doing this almost every night as our little man has a habit of having his evening poo just before going to bed. It's just great and I'm sure Noah appreciated it as well.
