Have you noticed? Toilet sprays are suddenly all the rage. Unlike room sprays, these air fresheners prevent odors from escaping at the source—they’re sprayed right on the surface of the toilet water and create a barrier so no odors can escape.
We understand this is a sensitive topic for many but, the truth is, we all have to use the restroom; it’s just that no one wants anyone to know that they were there. It’s a private and delicate function, so we can understand these sprays’ popularity.
There are many odor-masking toilet sprays on the market and while they work, they can be pricey. The most popular ones go for $8 or more for a mere 2 ounces. The good news is that they’re simple to make at home. With our easy DIY Bottom Bouquet recipe and an inexpensive spray bottle, you can make a batch and use it as your discretion for pennies!
