My Diaper Genie Party – Win Your Own SWAG From The Party!!

You are here: Home / Giveaways / My Diaper Genie Party – Win Your Own SWAG From The Party!!

Giveaways

Last week we swabbed our Brooklin’s nursery to find out just how filled with germs her living area is and yesterday we got the results LIVE during a party at my house. In front of everyone Dr. Tanner Skyped the results of my swab test which I am actually really pleased about. Granted, my doorknobs need a good cleaning and the rails of her crib could use a wipe down more often my home was pretty clean.

That’s excluding the results from “mom’s choice swab” which was my garbage can. I plan on replacing that garbage can this week with a hand free motion system as my results for my garbage can were quite disturbing and it’s not like I don’t clean the garbage can.

During the party we discussing how well we’re all cleaning our nursery’s and what we could do to change things. Some of the moms discussed where we change our children and just how germ infected the diaper changing area can be. Parents who do have a changing table should be regularly disinfecting the area.

I also got a chance to show the moms at the party some of my favorite features of the Diaper Genie, we all agreed the double lock system is genius because when we think about diaper trashcans the most obvious concern is smell and how sanitary it is. I was able to show the moms just how sanitary the Diaper Genie is and they were all so excited to go home with one.Here’s a photo of me showing some of the moms some of my favorite features.

Diaper Genie Product Features

Diaper Genie was kind enough to send all of the attendees plenty of swag including a Diaper genie system of their very own. Kaila and I had a lot of fun putting together the swag bags.

in house baby shower diaper genie partyAll in all we all learned a little more about how to keep our children’s rooms/areas cleaner and maybe a lesson in areas that we lack. Dr. Tanner provided us with some clean and healthy tips for a germ free nursery which include information on the ABCs of disinfectants vs. cleaners. Did you know that cleaners remove soils but spread germs? To disinfect correctly in a nursery your baby should not be anywhere near the area you plan to clean, then spray or wipe the area with your disinfectant. Then you want to use a soft cloth to make sure you wipe us any residual disinfectant. Parents should also be disinfecting floors with small children in the home, although I think it’s a pretty good rule of thumb always.

There’s a lot of other tips but join Playtex Baby Thursday Sep 28th from 2-3EST for a Facebook Q&A with germ expert and microbiologist Dr. Tanner. He’ll be answering questions and giving advice to parents.

  17. The way I keep it clean is to keep the animals out and to wipe everything down each night. I also vacuum daily. It’s important to keep the room as clean as possible because we have 7 germy kids in the house.

  89. Don’t have a nursery yet or a Diaper Genie. I am actually trying to win for my nephew and his wife, who are expecting their little girl in March. He’s a Marine and they are actually going to be moving in December, so anything I can do to help them out is wonderful.

  115. I didn’t have a nursery but I kept all my baby areas clean with bleach wipes, good old paper towel+cleaner scrubbing, a steam mop, and frequent laundry, I cloth diapered most of the time, so didn’t use a diaper genie, but it’d been good to have when I used regular diapers. I wish they had a similiar system for cloth diapers (I used a wet bag and dry bag with tea tree oil soaked cloths for those)

  116. I have the Diaper Genie and love it. in the nursery, we have a wall-mounted
    Purell dispenser next to the door and the dogs and cats are kept out of the room so it’s a fur-free zone!

  150. I commented on your “Disney D-Lightful Living – Skin Care All Year Long” thread!

  152. My husband & I are expecting our first child in January (2012), so we still have a few months left before we get to truly discover the joy of germs!!! I am already becoming rather OCD about making sure the nursery is spic’n’span daily, although I’m sure my efforts will become more lax once the baby actually arrives! I would LOVE to have Diaper Genie for our little one–I definitely think it helps make a more sanitary & odor-free (or at least LESS odor!) household! Thank you so much for putting together a great giveaway!

  157. I don’t have a nursery. I am trying to win this for my daughter. I used to have such a phobia about dirty diaper smell that I would immediately take them outside. The Diaper Genie would have been a life-saver!

  158. Our nursery isn’t hard to keep clean, there’s just the babies’ cribs, a queen bed, and a small bookshelf for blankets and a clock. Unfortunately there is usually 2-3 used diapers laying around too from middle of the night changes lol, need to be better about throwing those away! And with 3 in diapers the garbages and my munchkin pail downstairs by the changing table get full way too quickly.

  166. Keeping the home and especially the nursery clean is really important to me. Keeping the germs at bay is important to help keep baby healthy! We used a diaper genie with my oldest but I could never figure out how to use it, but it did keep my house from smelling of dirty diapers. I LOVED it.

    We already have a hands free trash can, you just place your hand over the trash can and the lid is opened by a sensor. it’s awesome!

  167. I have never owned a diaper genie, but I keep the nursery clean by disinfecting once a week and vacuuming daily too. I also open the windows up to get air in as much as possible.
    Thanks for the chance.

  169. I use Lysol wipes to keep my nursery clean.I would love to have a diaper genie. Thanks for the giveaway:)

  170. I love anything playtex and if you have a baby you can’t live without a diaper genie, clorox wipes and febreeze.

  172. I clean as I go. Occasionally I use hot water & soap and for the really tough yuckies, I use Lysol wipes. I have owned a Diaper Genie before and was less than impressed, however that was 5 years ago. I’m curious to see how they work now. But this prize, if I win would be for my son’s preschool teacher that is preggo.

  173. I use clorox disinfectant wipes and febreeze! I used to have a Diaper genie but it broke in the move.

  174. Use lots of lysol wipes! I tried the diaper genie before but it didn’t work that great but that was with#2 7 years ago. I should try with #3!

  180. I have never owned a Diaper Genie but would love to have one! I try to keep my nursery clean by keeping everything organized and wiping all furniture, etc. at least every other day to cut down on any germs that my other kids might bring in on our new baby that we just had nine days ago 🙂

  181. Ive never owned a diaper genie, but I keep the nursery clean by vacuuming weekly and using lots of lysol and clorox wipes

  187. I keep her favorite toys in two storage tubs and every night I take one away and clean then in bleach and then those are the ones she plays with the next day and I rotate them. I also live with lysol wipes and clean as I go!

  188. I keep my Nursery Clean by always picking up after myself. I know it sounds simple but if you always clean up all messes and put things back where they belong, you have no problems with finding anything or anything being dirty.

  190. Lysol wipes help so much and air freshener. No haven’t had a genie looks nice though

  191. we try to pick up more often than we do other rooms. i haven’t owned a genie

  192. I owned the diaper genie elite. It was great in the nursery keeping diapers out of the way and the house smelling clean. In our nursery we happened to do quite a bit remodeling which helped keeping it clean. We replaceds carpet flooring with laminit floor. Quick and easy to clean every day. Also we were good about not keeping so many knick knacks and decorations in the room that would collect so much dust.

  193. I use Clorox wipes to keep it germ free and I owned an older model Diaper Genie which works well but this looks nicer and better.

  195. I own the basic diaper genie and I think it’s great for the nursery…especially with twins. We go through refills quite a lot!

  197. I have never owned one but i keep my nursery clean by using wipes all the time.

  201. I have always cleaned the nursery like I cleaned any of the other rooms. I have been trying to switch to more natural products. Healthier for the whole family. I used to have a Diaper Genie with my first. Left it behind in a move and they definitely are nice to have.

  204. Oh, I do my best with a normal cleaning… But I can barely keep up with the dust, I would be afraid of checking germs on my doorknobs!

    I LOVED my Diaper Genie with my first!

  209. I had a diaper genie and it was definitely convenient.
    brittneydejajason at gmail dot com

  210. It’s easy to keep my son’s nursery clean- it doesn’t get used much because he’s always in our room! haha. But in all seriousness, I use bleach and alcohol to disinfect and try to keep up with cleaning all throughout the week.

  211. I used clorox wipes and lemon pledge on wood surfaces. I would steam the wood floor. I would wash clothes in Drift. I like to wipe crib and door knobs with disinfectant wipes. I wanted a diaper genie when I was prego but money was tight. I also liked the lysol spray.

  220. I use lysol wipes and wipe all hard surfaces down frequently. I also wash crib sheets frequently. I had the original diaper genie with my first and didn’t like the twisting factor. Now that the diaper genie doesn’t have that twisting thing, I’d be more interested in trying it.
