"the loo" in my shack is notoriously swiffy
to keep myself conscious during necessary times i like to burn incense
but there are times that's too dang froofroo for my tastes
so i bought an air purifier
this thing makes a racket!
but it does have a pretty blue light that doesn't actually do anything
since burning sage seems to clog the purifier, i also toss handfuls of baking soda all over to joint
that seems to work
i'm thinking about buying, or stealing if the opportunity arises, an ultraviolet light to kill the tiny lil critters that i cain't see but i can sure smell
i'll bet that tech don't work neither
maybe an essential oil bath
get all tingly and stuff

@rookie54 saidI’ve learnt something here rookie; baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) absorbs odours. Apparently this has been a widely held truth for generations, according to an article I looked up. Yes I did that. Insomnia tonight is a strong as your odours.

The tip I noticed was that for enclosed spaces, such as your loo, the optimal method is to use the baking soda in a vented jar rather than sprinkle it around, and it will act as a longer term air purifier. For carpets sprinkle it, leave for an hour then vacuum.
May I also suggest a diluted bleach solution and mop. Men’s toilets are always a problem wherever one goes, and going wherever is probably part of the problem!
@diver saidAs every new mum learns, a dab of dilute baking soda solution is the safest way to neutralise those occasional milky, baby burps after feeding 🥰

they easily hold a one pound (imperial) box of soda and are sweetly permeable to allow air movement
i can also gently shake it when i need a cloud of bicarb dust
only had it explode the one time when i lit an incense

@rookie54 saidBicarbonate of soda can be incendiary! I’m learning more in this thread than I did at school.

Isn’t it supposed to be for baking. This could explain a lot about my innards 😅
And those muslin bags are huge - you’re lucky to have survived old chap.
@diver saidAny powder can be incendiary at the right concentration, powder size and diffusion, even flour.

Don't ask me how I know this.
@Suzianne saidWas that you who set off the Iowegian grain silo explosions of 1983?

@Kevin-Eleven saidSince I was only 7 at the time, probably not.

But silo explosions have happened, and it was for this precise reason. But the grain must be milled first, in order to produce the fine powder necessary. Less grain is milled before silage now, just for this reason, to reduce the possibility of explosions.
@Suzianne saidI've seen a movie where this was used -- but I don't want to say the name because that would be kind of a spoiler.
