To wish this about toilets when your out?

[Netcurtainnelly]

Fed up of toilets stinking when your out.
Everywhere like library toilets, airport toilets, shop toilets. public toilets, station toilets it absolutely stinks.

Sometimes it makes you gag.
Why aren't there any air freshners in toilets that intermitentely pump out a nice fragrance.

Also it could be triggered when people use the toilet.
After all we usually open the window and spray round when using the toilet when we are at home.
Shouldn't it be the same when you use the toilet out?
🙄😪

Supermarket toilets are always immaculate and don’t smell bad.
They’re the main ones I go to though, so can’t comment on many others.

Nah thanx,
I’m for wiping down the whole seat to get rid of last users sweat streaks!
& always sit on my hands too for extra safety 🤨.

Do you feel better for nitpicking at someone's SPAG?

That's expensive to install and maintain.

It's a toilet being used by multiple people. It's going to smell of shit sometimes, and your shit smells just as bad as anyone else's, so you need to accept that sometimes a toilet won't smell like roses and moonbeams.

Does the sharing not mean there are more places that get a disabled loo and baby change? Doubling up adds efficiency which makes the bar to justify one lower. Obviously in a busy place there should be extra provision, but in quieter places it can make sense.

When my husband worked in an office he had to get changed and showered before coming near me because of these auto trigger air fresheners in the loos. As soon as he walked through the door, the house stunk. Thankfully he now works from home.

As a sufferer of severe asthma and chronic migraine, I can't even go shopping any more because everywhere stinks of artificial fragrance. I wish it was more widely known how hazardous these chemical cocktails are to people with lung conditions or neurological illnesses.

I never said mine didn't lol.
There's always room for improvement and new ideas though.

Haha office in the city.
Someone said about the air freshener smell, actually it doesn’t smell of anything, you can just hear the sound when it triggers. Still chemicals I guess.

The only public toilets I know that are nice are the ones that are constantly staffed. In Leeds market eg there is a woman in there constantly spraying with nice disinfectant, air freshener, wiping, mopping, topping up loo roll.

I have an autistic child who is triggered by air fresheners.

There usually are air fresheners, they're fake and not pleasant for many people.

Air freshener things make me wheeze. Decent extractor fans please.
I would also like more public loos to have the dryers above the sink not across the room to avoid the trail of dribbled water on the floor.

Sounds expensive!

And, being realistic, if the toilets often lack basics like paper, I don’t think there’s much hope for fancy stuff like this.

Ventilation is the way to go even if it means being cold.

Airfreshners set off my eczema around my eyes, ears and mouth so please lets not install these everywhere as I quite enjoy being able to see, hear and eat.

I agree with PP who said people need to stop hovering over the loo seat. I HATE accidentally sitting in someone else's piss or seeing drops of it all over the floor. Just sit and wipe people!!!

No way really????

I can't see how a lovely scent even if mild, can't smell better than shit.

Do you not like perfume either?

That's nice, I know one like that too. It won awards.
Recently moros yried to vandalise it.

You'd rather get stuff on your hands?

Not in the slightest. I'd much rather not have seen it at all, but it's good to get these things right when you're posting for thousands of people to read.

People are gross though. I went through the airport recently and it was disgusting how people (women) left some toilets cubicles- loo roll everywhere, piss on the seat, poo etc, utterly gross.

Good god, how weird.
I'll take a typo over being a boring old fart anyday.

🤔 you didn’t read my previous line where I said I always wipe a loo seat?
Is it really worth your while making a reply, if you can only b bothered to read 1 line of someone’s text? Oh whoops i’ve gone over 1 line here…

I often wonder how toilets get in such a state.

I think they should now have built-in sprinklers and be washed down every night.

I dont mind the smell so much as the rubbish dropped on the floor and 'matter' smeared on the walls.

Your line spacing makes this look like a sonnet.

I have poo pourri spray in my bag so use that if I need to (I have it for work but it just lives in my bag)

I agree with you apart from the air freshener bit. Air freshener doesn’t get rid of smell
It just means toilet smells like poo, and Lily of the Vallley

Better ventilation and better cleaning is what’s needed.

But yes I now hold it in unless desperate. Public loos are awful
