AIBU to expect air freshener in toilets when visiting friends?

[HangryBrickShark]

Is there an expectation that people's toilets should have an air freshener in? Like a spray air freshener?

We always have air freshener in both our toilets in case friends or family get caught short when visiting us or even to freshen the bathroom after having a wee if necessary, so I hate it if I go to a friend/family members house and they have none.

I get some people may be affected by asthma but surely if you had asthma you wouldn't use it?

We have a glade air freshener at work that sprays into the space where the wash handbasins are for example.

I hate air fresheners with a passion, I'd never have one in the house!

I am glad to see so many others with reactions to airfreshener. The joint misery makes me feel less like a weirdo. I get sinusitis.... Took me a while to figure out what was the cause!

She said after a wee!! I think I’d go and see the doctor if I was the OP if I had to spray aerosols to mask the smell of that!! Absolutely bonkers!!

We had one of those automatic puffer things in the loos where I worked before we all complained. Bloody thing always squirted just as I walked past 🤢🤮 (no, I hadn't had a dump !)

That's why you're weird. What a peculiar thing to get in a pet about!

Most people wouldn't even notice whether there was an air freshener or nor.

Are you in advertising? 😂

Hate toilet brushes, hideous things.
Bleach and toilet paper - flush then job done.

Can't stand air fresheners. Just open the window.

WTF is poopouri? Is it a real product or is it a new form of 💩 trollerie

Don't think I've ever bought an air freshener in my life. Never occurred to me. I think that kind of thing is a waste of money and not very eco friendly or healthy.

I have a cat, no air fresheners here. There's really bad for animal health, really bad.

Years ago I babysat next doors dog for a week when they got let down last mo for a sitter, I felt so sorry for that dog though. Plug in air freshener in every room. I turned them all off, bloomin stank, was choking me and far worse than the smell of a dog.

I’ve never ever bought air freshener, and I’ve never noticed any in the bathrooms of my family and friends!

It may be that stuff that does a film on the surface of the water? Something like that. No idea if works tho!

YABU

I detest air fresheners with a passion. They cause a burning sensation up my nose and headaches if exposed to them for longer periods. I had to unplug one at work and hide it in a drawer. Then the fuckers put in those awful ones that squirt out the synthetic chemical crap every X amount of minutes in the toilets that had no windows. I ended up leaving as I struggled to breathe in the toilets, not the sole reason, but still a reason.

We keep our bathroom windows open all day, the smell is gone within 2 minutes of flushing, and if your toilet doesn't have a window, it should have an extractor fan.

Weird thing to say. But - air fresheners amplify it to me, the fake flowery smell mixed with the poo smell is stronger and usually you can then smell the whole concoction outside the bathroom 🤢

In each of my bathrooms, I have little baskets on the windowsills. In the baskets I have 3 loo rolls, flushable wipes, poo-pouri (spray in the loo before you poop to trap the smell) and air freshener.
All set up neatly!
I don’t know a single other person that does this so I think I might be the weird one 😂

I have one in our bathroom but we don't use it ourselves, it's purely for guests if they do get caught out and don't want to be embarrassed.

Edit to add that all my friends and family have them in the bathroom too!

No it’s a real thing. We have it at work and it’s great

Ditto. Cant stand a toilet brush. Uurrggghh. Bleach all the way.

We're on holiday at the moment and stopping in a large caravan with two loos, and not having anyone visit. But we have an air freshener in each toilet that we brought from home. I hate toilet smells.

For those that say their shit doesn't smell, are you serious??? Of course it does! 😅

I have asthma, I don't like air fresheners. When I go to local John Lewis the entrance is a third of a shop floor of cosmetics and scent. I try not to breathe in through my nose 😳

Oh no, I hate all that. I’ve never bought an air freshener in my life. Nor those plastic or jelly things that people stick in their toilets. I don’t like synthetic scents and I think they’re bad for the environment, plus often involving plastic packaging which I try to avoid. I hate fabric conditioner, perfume and body spray too. I would just open the window if I was worried about something like that.

I have a press under the sink with toilet cleaner that could be used to mask a smell I suppose.
In friends homes I would poop, flush and then wipe and flush again. It only smells if it’s left hanging around too long.

Bleach is terrible for the environment. Bring on the brush!

It's real! I was given a bottle by a friend as a joke gift for my honeymoon!
