Poop Smells in Hotel Rooms?

[2BOYMOM]

There is this stuff you can buy called "Poo-pourie" Anyway you spray it into the toilet BEFORE you go number 2. It really does help with the smell. Also, tell your dad to do a coutesy flush between! Turn on the fan in the bathroom, and light a match. You gotta do what you gotta do, but no one wants to smell it!

So where do you buy this?? I've never seen it! Would Walmart have it??

The website has locations. It appears to be sold at (stifling a giggle) "high-end" stores and salons.

This is definitely not an attraction!

At some of the hotels it is too far away to go to the lobby, for example, CBR. You must find a way to deal with the poops. I think the above poster had a good idea (spray and/or matches. Of course, you can always just come right out and say, "I have to poop. Please leave the room."

To answer your question in the thread title.....

Yes, poop does smell in hotel rooms and everywhere else for that matter....

Place a can of fabreaze in the bathroom. On it, place a note that reads "If you make a stinky smell, use this can and spray like hell"

Sorry if someone has said this, but I didn't want to read the whole thread... Walmart has an orange spray that comes in a small bottle. Maybe 2 or 3 ounces? It is STRONG. My Mom keeps it at her house because my dad has a weak stomach and has been known to make HIMSELF throw up! LOL!

Until 2 minutes ago, I thought I had seen every type of thread.

I was wrong.

You and me both, bgohre

Yeah, it's at the little boutique-type stores around here.

When I was in high school, we took a band trip to Disneyland and my room came up with a If You Have To Poop You Use The Public Bathroom In The Lobby policy.

So you guys were the ones who stunk up the lobby?!?!

Are you sure? Because I have come across quite a few people who thought that their poop didn't stink.

I know it wasn't the OP's intention, but I have to say Thank You. I needed a good laugh today.

Flush as soon as it comes out instead of sitting there while you finish. Flush multiple times through the process. Flushing before the odor has time to move around the room really helps to cut down on the intensity of the smell.

Also try to go in the morning and take a shower immediately afterwards before opening the door to the bathroom. Make sure you turn on the fan/air vent in the bathroom. This also help to get rid of the odor before opening the door.

Good Luck! lol!

I've always referred to that one as a "courtesy flush".

Sure, it all stinks but it is not normal for it to be so bad that it smells up the entire floor of a house.

Honestly, I can admit that I have never worried about the smell when sharing a hotel room.

Wow. I thought I'd seen almost everything.


While everyone's poop does smell...well, I'm a big fan of probiotics. I'll go out on alimb a bit here. I think it makes a big difference. Simply put, we all rely on the bacteria in our gut to digest our food. If that population gets out of whack, bad smells are just a symptom.

There are probiotic pills, there's also probiotic orange juice now, and just about any yogurt or yogurt drink is probiotic. (as well as some other foods) It may be possible to suggest one or the other without ever mentioning the odor issue. There are MANY reasons why adding probiotics to one's diet in a smart thing to do, so there are any number of angles you could take in suggesting them. Along with probiotics, adding more fiber in one's diet will help. Fiber doesn't have to mean bran muffins - fiber comes in many forms. Adding more fruits and veggies is a simple way - esp whole fruits and veggies as opposed to processed ones. Again, it isn't hard to find MANY reasons why this is a wise thing to do. REally, the fiber movement of the past suggested some really gross foods (and those horrid tasting fiber powder!. ) That is no longer the case. There's lots of high fiber foods - like most Kashi brand products - that are rather tasty.

Easily enough, look for a good book onthe many benefits of various whole foods. There's a number competing books right now that are available along the lines of 100 best foods to eat, or 'what not to eat.' Once you read abot all the health benefits of fresh foods, and all the nasty things that processed foods do - including rotting in your gut and creating nasty smells, it's isn't hard to motivate yourself to do better.

Keep in mind certain medications will kill off healthy bacteria - so that may be part of the issue - but then it's even MORE important to feed your gut healthy bacteria. Beyond that, a healthy gut vs. an unhealthy one - if that's the issue - will likely make the person feel a WHOLE lot better in a relatively short amount of time. It is also likely to increase one's lifespan. It won't eliminate all odors, but if someone has a particualy bad smelling odor, an unhealthy gut may be the issue. Beyond that - it is possible that unusually bad odors CAN be a symptom of other health issues.


Whew! Never though I'd post about this subject on the DIS....

If I did, I would suggest they speak to their doctor about it (and/or change their diet radically). That is not normal or healthy.

Not to drag this thread down any further into the gutter - but anyone who took organic chemistry in college knows exactly how your nose smells poop.

Which is why the only ironlad protection against that strench is a quality face mask that can block particulates

I didn't take org chem, but I did see the Ice Storm:
