Those stinky things that you are supposed to put in toilets to make them smell nice. Hubby for some reason this week decided we need to join the "civilized world" and bought a Harpic something or other. Now our whole house smells like a pub toilet, and if I actually visit the small room it make my eyes water. :C
(I also hate the smell of just about anything that is perfumed to disguise smells. Perfumed rubbish bags. :puke: )
:rantoff::D
Hotel cleaning staff have a "clean slate" on poisoning the next tenant.
...maybe hubby is being nostalgic about previous visits to the pub
At work there appears to be at least one staff member who lets loose with half a can of spray stuff each visit. The whole place can bear a perfume that lingers long after, and probably disguises the next dozen visits.
I'll swap for Hubby, the Harpic couldn't possibly be as bad.:2tsup:
Talking about pongs; there's a perfume/deodorant that's been on the market for a couple of years now - I don't know what it's called - but it's an acrid stench; like a blend of fly spray and silage.
Females are seemingly oblivious to it's repugnancy as three of my carers favour it and, irrespective of the weather, I have to open all the doors and windows to try and rid the place of the reek. I'm pretty certain it's a perfume. <o>
</o> I've phoned the carers' supervisor on several occasions and requested my carers don't wear any perfume when they visit me and the answer I keep hearing is that all carers are directed not to wear heavily perfumed products.<o>
</o> The stench lingers for hours and makes my stomach churn.<o> :puke:
</o>
Might not be their PERFUME. Could just be moisturizer, or deodorant or hair spray.Could even be a hand cleaner or something. :shrug: Smells are a funny thing. I drove my sister in law somewhere and for months after the passenger seat belt was impregnated with the stench. :CQuote:

I reckon the old spray after bog makes the smell so much worse! just open the window and mother nature's smells will be gone in no time...
Tea Lady,
I agree, can't stand all those sprays etc. Luckily we don't need them because the toilet always smells of roses after I've been in there. :p

Strewth Mick. :rolleyes:

We have exhaust fans and they are very effective provided you shut the door.

BTW I agree with you TL hate those overpowering scents that are designed to mask other smells :oo:
:q Well sorry about that. (Although I am a female over 10 too so it can't be EVERY female.:rolleyes:) In a straw pole of choir members (of a chior I use to sing in, funnily enough.:sing: ) 20 % of the members were allergic to perfume, and got watery eyes and/or head aches if someone else wore it. I have terrible trouble finding shampoo or soap or moisturiser or make up that doesn't cause me to die of hay fever. Even the "natural" ones are just as bad. (BTW, arsnic and snake bite are also natural so don't tell me anything about "natural" ) (Oh look another rant.:-)Quote:

May I suggest that if you put the dust extractor through the window and moved the inlet pipe to a strategic location you may be able to move sufficient volume of air to the outside world to prevent offending her indoors.:2tsup:
Yuck :oo::oo: Even my cat washed her paws in her water bowel after using the litter tray.Quote:

He still doesn't wash his hands, but when we have family get-togethers, I wait until he asks for something, then I ram my hand down the front of my jodhpurs, have a good rummage around and then pass him a bread roll (or whatever) with my fingers. He then asks me to pass the plate.
And I don't like being called a grub. :wink:Quote:
