Poo-pourri..curious question..how far ahead can it be sprayed..?

TMI alert, but I am curious!!!

Hubby tends to stink up the bathroom pretty badly. Actually, the entire upstairs, and even sometimes creeping downstairs. How far 'ahead of time' can poo-pourri be sprayed..? He does not see the 'need' for it, and I do not want to always run into the bathroom when he is about to 'go'..(oh, the visual alone of that..eeek!!)

Can I spray it say an hour or so ahead of time, will it still be effective..?

Sometimes I will spray Poo Pouri just as a preventive measure. I think the spray creates a barrier which will remain until the next time you flush.

Wow! I would just try it. Spray it a few times in the bowl before he gets in there. Honestly, if the smell is that bad I doubt the product would even work as it is intended. I would get a divorce

@MezzieStarr Lol....you bail too easy.

It's an oil so it should remain on the surface of the water until it's flushed. I'd definitely spray it as a preventative measure! If nothing else, it will release a pleasant fragrance ahead of time. You have my sympathy. (Maybe something in his diet is causing this? Or some medication?)

@msh8970 ~ poor you😷 I think spraying ahead might help, but not like when it is used right before. If I were you, I'd certainly give it a try. Hopefully, your husband will be understanding and cooperate.

I have sprayed ahead for the guys in my house. They don't seem to understand the concept and I can't get them to use it, so I spray whenever, and it does help to just have it pre done.

I have poo-pourri and another product called Just a Drop (you can purchase at Wal-Mart for about $4 or $5. I always forget to use it ahead of time. I usually just use matches and that works very well. Of course, you can't take matches with you into a public restroom or on the airplane.

Lol...lol..lol what a comical post but girl I feel you. I always know after hub has gone. I constantly tell him, would you please open a window, it's like living with a farm animal! He has to laugh himself actually because of course, I have to embellish.
