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 number two 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 pooping because, let's face it, nobody's poop smells like roses (except for maybe Beyoncé, of course).
What makes Poo-Pourri spray different from standard air fresheners is that you spray it directly into the toilet bowl before you go, rather than spraying it into the surrounding air after the fact.
It smells wonderful and it's innovative, but it can be a bit costly. It costs $13 for a two-pack of the 1 oz bottle on Amazon, and for those on a budget (especially if you have a house full of roommates 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:
- 2 oz spray bottle
- Essential oils
- Rubbing alcohol
- Water
Step One
Find a clean 2 oz spray bottle.
Step Two
Pour 1/2 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol into the spray bottle.
Step Three
Pick out some essential oils with scents that you enjoy and add them to the spray bottle.
Step Four
Mix the rubbing alcohol and essential oils thoroughly.
Step 5
Add water to fill the rest of the container.
Step 6
Shake your DIY concoction once more.

Ta-da! You now have your finished product, which you can compare to the original Poo-Pourri spray.
