You know what I hate.

[tea lady]

Those stinky things that you are supposed to put in toilets to make them smell nice. Hubby for some reason this week decided we need to join the "civilized world" and bought a Harpic something or other. Now our whole house smells like a pub toilet, and if I actually visit the small room it make my eyes water.

(I also hate the smell of just about anything that is perfumed to disguise smells. Perfumed rubbish bags. )

Hotel cleaning staff have a "clean slate" on poisoning the next tenant.

...maybe hubby is being nostalgic about previous visits to the pub

[johnc]

At work there appears to be at least one staff member who lets loose with half a can of spray stuff each visit. The whole place can bear a perfume that lingers long after, and probably disguises the next dozen visits.

I'll swap for Hubby, the Harpic couldn't possibly be as bad.

Talking about pongs; there's a perfume/deodorant that's been on the market for a couple of years now - I don't know what it's called - but it's an acrid stench; like a blend of fly spray and silage.

Females are seemingly oblivious to it's repugnancy as three of my carers favour it and, irrespective of the weather, I have to open all the doors and windows to try and rid the place of the reek. I'm pretty certain it's a perfume.

I've phoned the carers' supervisor on several occasions and requested my carers don't wear any perfume when they visit me and the answer I keep hearing is that all carers are directed not to wear heavily perfumed products.

The stench lingers for hours and makes my stomach churn.

Might not be their PERFUME. Could just be moisturizer, or deodorant or hair spray.Could even be a hand cleaner or something. Smells are a funny thing. I drove my sister in law somewhere and for months after the passenger seat belt was impregnated with the stench.

That's an embarrasing admission Anne Maria .

Ha-ha! You've got a stinky sister-in-law!

You could be right about the moisturiser/deodorant. I'm tempted to ask the carers to establish if they all wear the same perfume and then I'll know what to complain about to their supervisor.

I reckon the old spray after bog makes the smell so much worse! just open the window and mother nature's smells will be gone in no time...

[journeyman Mick]

Tea Lady,
I agree, can't stand all those sprays etc. Luckily we don't need them because the toilet always smells of roses after I've been in there.

I'm sorry to point this out, Tea Lady, but you've just insulted every female over 10 in the world, and probably half the men as well.

What do you eat Mick!!

We have exhaust fans and they are very effective provided you shut the door.
