- Can of Bosisto’s Lavender Spray in our tool bag ready for smelly jobs
Urine is a potent smell. If urine is left to fester in a toilet or urinal (or on the floor in some cases), the smell can become overpowering and repulsive.
I recently read the status of someone on Facebook (a mother of boys!!) who asked what other mum’s used to get rid of the urine smell from their toilet. No amount of cleaning with commercial cleaners would get rid of the smell.
As a plumber, I come across the smell of urine and effluent a lot. Urinals would have to be the worst smelling fixtures of the lot as they are used by straight shooters, wall aimers or floor drippers and when all three are combined, it delivers a horrible smell. Urine does seep into tile grout and if it doesn’t get cleaned straight away can continue to leave a stink in the bathroom or toilet room.
My suggestion in ridding the smell of urine is using Eucalyptus Oil from Bosisto’s. Eucalyptus oil is great for eliminating smells and is a natural antibacterial cleaner and deoderiser. While I don’t have a urine smell issue in my household, I find the Eucalyptus oil more pleasing to the nose than commercial cleaners and use it to clean my bathrooms and kitchen bench top surfaces.
Bosisto’s also has a Lavender range. I actually won a Bosisto’s Lavender pack on a blog giveaway a month before I gave birth to my daughter. In the last months of my pregnancy, I had terrible insomnia and our house was starting to smell stuffy due to the wet weather and our dog deciding to play in the rain and reek of ‘wet dog’.
I have always loved the smell of lavender, so when I saw a particular blog I follow offer a giveaway of Bosisto’s Lavender range, I entered because I really wanted to try it out.
I won the giveaway and was so impressed with the Lavender range that I asked if I could do a review and similar giveaway on my own blog.
The Lavender Spray is FANTASTIC. It is Lavender Oil in a spray can! The spray can be used in bedrooms, on pet bedding, rubbish bins and anywhere that is musty or has a pong. I sprayed the Lavender in all of our bedrooms to promote a better sleep for myself and for my toddler. I’ve sprayed it in my nursery so my newborn daughter will sleep. I have also put a can of Lavender Spray in our work tool bag so that if Dad and I come across any really smelly jobs (like the urinal cartridge jobs which I love so much!!) we can spray Bosisto’s Lavender spray in the bathroom to eliminate that putrid festering urine smell.
The Lavender oil is great to have in the first aid kit as it can be used as an antiseptic for minor cuts and abrasions. It can ease pain and itching from insect bites and can be added to your washing to remove unwanted odours. I used the Lavender oil in my washing and it worked really well on our towels which can start to smell when they don’t dry in humid weather.
The Bosisto’s Lavender and Eucalyptus oils and sprays are The Plumbette’s go to product for cleaning around the house – especially the bathroom and toilet. The Bosisto’s range is available at Woolworths, Independent Supermarkets and local pharmacies.
