What can you use to keep loo smell fresh without touching it?

I don't like touching things after having been in the loo so don't want to use a spray! I feel I would have to wash my hands again as I don't know if others would be touching it (the air freshener) without having washed their hands.
Can anyone recommend something that they use? I think incense and oil burners would need too much vigilance and I have two very young dc so that isn't an option.

you want an alternative to keeping it clean?

I use an automatic spray, you can get big or small ones in the supermarket and they have a movement sensor so go off when someone moves near it. Works a treat!

Saor Can you recommend which one you use?
I thought they were just for commercial use in restaurant loos etc. So pls tell me which ones you use.

For room fragrance, diffusers are less toxic than chemical air fresheners

I'm sure I will be flamed for this because this includes a toilet brush! I pour half a bottle of Zoflora into the toilet brush holder and it keeps loo smelling lovely.

always This may be a daft question, but how do room diffusers work? Are they like incense - do you have to light them?
Also are they effective at hiding loo odours?

you might wanna check out this toilet spray I've been using it for years and it always keeps my bathroom and smelling fresh:-)

This is a reed diffuser. The reeds sit in the bottle of fragrance and the fragrance travels up them and diffuses into the room.

Reed diffusers give off a nice subtle background fragrance, they don't really mask loo smells but TBH i'd rather have loo smells than be in a confined space with a vat of Zoflora or one of those self activating air fresheners (the latter give my migraines).

alwaysonadiet1 · 28/05/2017 15:31

Upwards, you don't light them but they are stronger if you turn the reeds upside down every couple of days.,

alwaysonadiet1 · 28/05/2017 15:33

They are very subtle if essential oils, less so with chemical perfumes but better for health than air fresheners .... I think ....

Demented pixie-is that the lovely peach and prosseco diffuser from Tesco!!?

AcrossthePond55 · 28/05/2017 17:19

Keep two spray bottles in the bathroom. The 'regular' one and a small one you keep in a drawer or in a cupboard that only you know about. Use that one to spray when needed.

Open a window and accept that excreta smells a bit.

Clean toilet when needed.
