Walking out of a bathroom and leaving a not so fresh scent behind can be kind of embarrasing, don’t ya think? Wether you are in a public space, visiting a friend, or even in your own home, there are just some odors no one wants to smell lol. That’s where this Poo-Pourri with essential oils recipe comes into play!
This is an easy way to conseal less than desirable odors and also a great way to just freshen up any stinky space!
To use as a poo-pourri, just spray inside the toilet before you poo (as my 12 year old calls it). And if you absolutely need to, give the room a little spray after if its a doozy lol.
It’s super easy to make and I love how customizable the scents are. These are even small enough to keep in your purse! Here’s how to make poo-pourri with essential oils!

Why This Poo-Pourri With Essential Oils Works So Well
When you use the bathroom, the odors like to escape the water and perminate the air. With the ingredients in this poo-pourri spray, the materials bind to the water, trapping odors inside. Oils and water don’t mix, so the vegetable glycerin and the alcohol help to mix them together. And the Thieves Household Cleaner actually cleans the toilet, so bonus for that!
There you have it
This poo-pourri with essential oils is great to keep in your bathroom or take with you on the go. It helps to freshen the air and helps to clean the toilet every time you use it. How cool is that! And it’s easy to make and budget friendly! Make one for every bathroom in your house and teach your family to use them too. No more stinky odors lingering after you poo on the loo!
