BATHROOM ODOR

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

The subject of “bathroom odor” is definitely one of the most embarrassing and sensitive topics which are part of our society today.  As a matter of fact “bathroom odor” is usually only addressed in a joking manner in the hopes of not offending someone or only when it becomes an unbearable intrusion.

Some of the worst case scenarios for “bathroom odor” being unpleasant are in public places such as restaurants, shared office space, shopping malls, movie theatres, the list is actually endless.  It is a bad enough situation in one’s home, but when the individuals with whom one has to share their “bathroom odor” is unknown it is sometimes unbearable and downright scary.

“Bathroom odor” is not only offensive, but in some of cases can herald the possibility of a poor diet or some health problems.  After the “bathroom odor” has entered the air space – usually from the toilet – it will travel throughout the restroom, throughout air vents and the rest of the adjoining area.  Not only is it an unappetizing occurrence when this happens it will eventually stick to surfaces, especially public restrooms where the accumulation can turn into a bacteria problem.

To mask “bathroom odors” by using sprays and other perfumed methods, or burning candles which can be dangerous; is really not the answer as the underlying cause is still there.

Unfortunately most of today’s private bathrooms and public restrooms are located in closed-off areas where there is no natural escape (such as a window) for the “bathroom odor”.  Ceiling fans are essential but are also instrumental in pulling the “odor” out of the toilet where the majority of “bathroom odor” comes from and circulating it around the restroom.
