Yep, strange question! I'm sick of the toilet fumes after men and boys visit Shock but I want something with a nice scent, that looks good (posh is okay as long as it's not as expensive as this which would look good on the windowsil but is waaaay too expensive. So any ideas please?

Thanks

Open window does the job here. Just nag everyone in the house to remember to open the window when they've been making use of the facilities.

They sell those infuser thingies in T K Maxx waaayy cheaper, granted not White Company but just as nice.

I have a downstairs loo and have one of those Glade plug in's in white linen in a wall switch outside the door.

I also have some coconut potpurri (sp) in a litte dish stuck behind the cistern so you can't actually see it.......very 80's but does work, especially if you refresh it every so often with oil.

Opening the window doesn't quite work and then the smell floats out into the hall - ugh!

Shall have a look in TK Maxx next time I'm near one - thanks. Actually, have a little dish on window at moment which i could put pot-pourri into - now why didn't I think of that?

Thanks!

Make a room spritz spray using essential oils -much nicer than aerosols and artificial smells.

I add a few drops of bergamot and grapefruit (and a tiny bit of lavender) to water with a splash of vodka in it (recommended by an aromatherapist). I keep it in a small spray bottle and use whenever necessary

I think the new febreeze fabric and room sprays are good. They come in cotton fresh, orhid, tropical... they'r all nice!
