Not sure if this has been tried before but here is a simple and very cheap way to eliminate odor from a pouch. Buy a small bottle of eucalyptus oil (it usually comes with a drop dispenser on the top). All you need to do is add around 5 or more drops into the bag after emptying. I find this to be very effective and it also leaves a nice smell in the bathroom. Your pouch will also have a pleasant smell all day long as well. Why pay companies for expensive odor eliminator products when you can buy a bottle of this miracle stuff at any chemist, and it will last you a very long time. Also, you can buy a very small bottle to take with you anywhere you might go. Hope this will help people here.
