Best after poo air freshener ?

[Loka123]

Give me your best suggestions please. Not something that simply adds fragrance to the odour but something that can help to neutralise it.

I've tried the VIPoo stuff which doesn't seem great (not awful but not amazing either)

poo pourri is amazing

Or - with an eye on the world we force our children to live in:

Accept that shit stinks, it's a surprise to noone, as everybody does it.

Open a window, light a match or ignore it.

prokup I take it you don't use soap/ shower gel or shampoo? or deoderant. bodies stink. accept it

Not the same at all: keeping ourselves clean is a matter of health and hygiene, and body smells don’t just disappear like poo smells do.

Strike a match.

deodarant/ anti perspirant has nothing to do with hygiene. It's purely about not stinking.
I think it's less hygienic to breathe in shit particles than to have stinking armpits

deodarant/ anti perspirant has nothing to do with hygiene. It's purely about not stinking. It is, that's why I made the point about body smells not just disappearing like shit smells do... it's kinda antisocial to stink.

Spraying stuff doesn't stop shit particles, just means you're breathing in extra crap, too.

That is quite an interesting assumption to make, based on what I'd do with the contents of a toilet.

But yes, the cleaning products I use - for my body and my home tend to be as environmentally friendly as I can make them.
And as there are no people with a compromised immunesystem in my family for whom I am advised to use them, I see no reason for disinfectants or bleach.

poo pourri does stop the particles. It's amazing.
You put 2 squirts on the water beforehand and it forms a layer on top which prevents any particles being released from the bowl.

Another vote for striking a match. It works like magic.

The poo is in contact with air before it reaches the water (during the fall!).

Any resultant particles are mostly odour particles, not deadly pathogens.
Viruses and bacteria take a lot of force to move through the air which is why most diseases are not airborne: they are simply too big.
If poo smells were actually unhealthy, then farmers, drain unblockers, parents, stable workers, abattoir staff and sewage plant workers would be dropping like flies.
But they're not.

It’s particles in the air. You have to open a window.

None, the smell of shit and air freshener is disgusting, just open a window

I’m the event that OP doesn’t have a window in her bathroom (I didn’t have one in my old flat) I would suggest one of those tea light wax melt warmer things. I had one in my bathroom... light the tea light, shut the door and leave it half an hour or so, your bathroom will smell of lovely white linen or whichever scent you opt for.

I light a match.

Yes, so do I - it's the only acceptable thing to do.

I burn down my entire bathroom every time after laying a 'pan fish' and then get on the phone to my friendly local builder and plumber to come and fit a new one.

Number ones aren't nearly so bad, so I don't bother making any structural changes to the room after them - just re-paint all of the interior walls.

Aesop post poo drops - they are expensive but really work and the smell is lovely

I wonder how many men worry about their poo smelling. I'd wager it was a very small amount indeed.

I find anything sprayey or artificial deoderizers or actually any sprays makes the smell last longer. I usually open the window, light a nice candle and scrub my hands (even though it's generally not me that makes the smell;)) as the soap smell takes over.

And sorry if you don't have a window, the other two should do the job too!!)

I'd rather smell shit than some hideous artificial cover up stench.

Yeah I agree spraying something down the loo first (I use a cheap perfume parlour parfume) works really well, not tried Poo Pourri though. Who has 20 quid to spunk on Aesops post poo drops? 😂

Don't just spray into the air after the poo, that is always rank. It's as if the poo particles latch onto the air freshener particles and then spread themselves even further, the smell is grim!

Open the window

Just a squirt if toilet duck around the rim. Takes less than a minute.

I agree - open window (if your bathroom has one) and light a couple of matches. Air fresheners are anything but.
