How to Use Poo Spray
It only takes a second to protect yourself and everyone in the next room from the horrible smell of last night’s enchiladas. Give the bottle a shake, spray it four or five times into the toilet bowl, and do your business as normal. Don’t forget to shake it first, because the oils will have separated to the top of them water. And that’s exactly what they are supposed to do, because poo spray works by creating an oil barrier on top of the water.
You can also use poo spray as an air freshener. Since lavender and citrus essential oils are both naturally antiseptic, this spray actually works really effectively as an air and fabric freshener by killing the bacteria that cause odors in the first place.
