Do you use air fresheners in your house or bathroom? Even though they might smell delightful and hide any evidence that you just had to go #2, they are toxic. Let’s look at the dangers of air fresheners and a fantastic alternative I just discovered.
The Dangers of Air Fresheners
Air fresheners have been linked to cancer in the past but in a recent study from the National Institutes of Health, people who had the highest amounts of the chemical called 1,4-dichlorobenzene, or 1,4-DCB in their blood “showed diminished lung function, which could be serious for those with asthma or other lung problems. Reduced lung function is also a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer”1. The sad reality is that this chemical is present in the blood of 96% of Americans, per Dr. Mercola.
Dr. Oz says that “phthalates, chemicals found in … fragrance products such as air fresheners, may lower testosterone and metabolism levels, causing you to gain weight and lose muscle mass”2.
Do you use air fresheners? If you do, I bet you that there is one in the bathroom. Considering how toxic air fresheners can be, you can imagine my delight when I found, Poo-pourri, the before-you-go toilet spray.
Let’s be honest. No one likes to talk about bowel movements. But the truth is that we all go #2. As natural as an act it is, I don’t think any of us like leaving smelly evidence that we’ve just taken care of business in the bathroom. It’s embarrassing and distasteful to anyone else! End of story.
At least it WAS embarrassing until Poo-pourri. Not only is the name clever and easy to remember, it puts a fun spin on a often uncomfortable subject. If you haven’t watched the 2-min commercial about Pou-pourri and how it works, I think it will either make you laugh or at least put a smile on your face. I’ve included it below. Who knew that talking about your mother load, your little astronauts, and prairie dogging could sound so natural and proper? Leave it to those Brits and that fabulous accent of theirs.
Anyway, I had to have Poo-pourri for myself and wanted to share it with my clients so I ordered some inventory. I am all about clean living so thought this fit right in with my other products. The goods arrived yesterday and like always, I had to put it to the test. All you do is spray it before you go and no one will ever have to know. It’s that simple and it works! What can I tell you?! It even comes with a 100% stink-free money back guarantee.
Poo-pourri comes in numerous scents, all of which have very clever name like Original, Deja’Poo, Call of the Wild, and Royal Flush. A 2-oz bottle which is only $9.95 and is good for a 100 uses – what a deal! Get yours today at XLvita.com.
I am looking forward to sharing this very clever and simple invention with the world and making it a regular hostess gift. I think it’s so much more original than a bottle of wine or flowers. Imagine all the happy poopers there are going to be? The days of holding it in and waiting until the coast is clear are over.

Very cool! I’ve seen that product before, but I’m extremely skeptical, so I never bought it. Now I think I might!
Thanks for the review. What a clever product! 🙂
I know what you mean Hilary! I felt the same way but am impressed at how well it works. It actually has a stink-free money back guarantee which cracks me up. If you decide to get it, I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks Erin! I agree. It is clever and works so well.
