    Homemade Poo Pourri

    Poo Pourri? “What in the world is Poo Pourri?”, you may be asking yourself.   We stumbled across this fun little invention a few years ago while strolling through an adorable local store in the mountains of New Hampshire. You know those stores. The ones that have all kinds of unique stuff.

    There it was, “Poo Pourri” (aka “Trap a Crap”, the manly version). The name itself makes you have to pick it up and check it out.  We laughed and laughed and, of course, had to buy it to try it out.

    DOES POO POURRI WORK?

    You know what?  It works like a champ!  Just spray 3 or 4 sprays into the toilet bowl “before you go” and the film coating “traps” odors below the pleasant smelling barrier.  How about that!

    I just had to do some research on how to make my own version of this glorious odor killing stuff.  With just a couple of ingredients and your choice of essential oils, here you have it.  Homemade Poo Pourri! Our house is so happy! (if ya know what I mean)

    5 essential oils in bottles with a small bottle of castille soap

     

    HOMEMADE POO POURRI INGREDIENTS

    2 tsp. rubbing alcohol

    1 tsp. liquid soap or castille soap (or substitute 2 tsp. vegetable glycerine)

    30 drops of essential oils (grapefruit, eucalyptus, peppermint and/or lemongrass essential oil work great)
    water

    2-4 oz small spray bottle

    5 essential oils in bottles with a small bottle of castille soap

     

    HOW TO MAKE POO POURRI

    Add alcohol and liquid soap (or glycerine ) to the spray bottle.

    Add the essential oils

    Then fill the spray bottle with water.

    Shake well

    Spray 3-4 times into the toilet bowl “before you go” to trap the stink.

      This is brilliant! I also remember when this first started being advertised but didn’t have the chance to try it for some reason or another. I love the fact that you made your own! I’m definitely gonna have to give this a try. 🙂 Thanks for sharing at Create Link Inspire!
