DIY Poo-Pourri: How to Make Your Own Smell-Suppressing Concoction

Gone are the days of air fresheners and lighting a scented candle after you go No. 2 in the bathroom.

Poo-Pourri, aka the world's greatest invention ever, is a spray that one uses before going to the bathroom to mask any unwanted smells that come with a number 2 because, let's face it, nobody's poo smells like roses (except for maybe Beyoncé, of course).

What makes Poo-Pourri spray different to standard air fresheners is that you spray it directly into the toilet bowl before you go, rather than spraying it into the surrounding air afterwards.

It smells wonderful and it's innovative, but it can be a bit costly. It costs £7 per bottle Amazon, and for those on a budget (especially if you have a lot of housemates or family members), that can add up.

But have no fear! We have some instructions on how to make your very own Poo-Pourri at home.

Here's What You Need:

  • 50 ml spray bottle
  • Essential oils
  • Rubbing Alcohol
