No one likes walking into a stinky office bathroom — but let’s get real. Sometimes smell just comes with the territory. But that doesn’t mean you can’t and shouldn’t do anything about it. On the contrary, you should do everything you can to tackle toilet odors before they get out of hand. Also, if you have visitors or clients coming to the office, the last thing you want is to feel unhygienic when using your bathroom.

Unsure where to start? Keep reading to hear about 4 ways you can make your restroom smell fresh and clean all day long.

 

1. Air purifying plants

Potted plants are an exceptional addition to any office — especially the bathroom. That’s because they aren’t just pretty to look at; they’re also natural air purifiers. Lilies, orchids, and palm trees, among others, actually clean the air — meaning that, over time, bathroom stenches won’t stand a chance. Remember that only certain varieties will do the trick; make sure you’re in-the-know about which plants will truly do your bathroom justice.

A few other air-freshening favorites:

• Aloe Vera: Great to also keep in the office, as it can be used in first aid, too!
• The Boston fern: A natural air purifier and humidifier
• The Chinese evergreen: Removes toxins from the air

 

2. Essential oils

You might be surprised to learn that essential oils act as great barriers when it comes to bathroom odors. Pick a strong and clean-smelling essential oil, such as peppermint or eucalyptus, and you’ve got a powerful stench-busting magic trick right in your hands. In fact, all you need to do is pour a few drops (generally 3-4) directly into the toilet before you sit down to use the restroom. The secret? Essential oils instantly coat the toilet water in a film, trapping any odors below the surface.

Leave a small, cost-efficient bottle of pure essential oils on the back of the toilet, along with some simple directions. It’s a natural way to keep embarrassing odors at bay. One final oil tip: Be sure to clarify to employees that the oils must be added to the toilet before going to the bathroom, not the other way around.

 

3. Febreze

Sometimes, you’ve got to go all-in on bad bathroom smells. And, unlike the other suggestions, Febreze works even after the fact, when smells are most active. It is designed to go straight to the source of the smell, equalizing it (never masking it) with fresh and clean scents. It’s simple, non-toxic, and everyone knows exactly how to use it to get the job done: point and spray.

 

4. Renuzit

Not a fan of an aerosol spray? How about a solution that works hard 24/7 to combat smells?
