I bought this spray thinking it would be funny to prank my mum and I’ve sprayed about 10-15 sprays in the toilet and the WHOLE HOUSE STINKS!! it’s not like fart or poo smell it’s like garlicky Brussels the WORST smell ever. I’ve opened all the windows and I’ve had to leave the house because it absolutely stinks. My poor mum is in there gagging and now I’m going out to the shop to see if I can find something. The smell has permeated everywhere what can I do to help correct this? Any help is super appreciated thanks!!

  12. Hahaha 10-15 sprays?!? What on earth were you thinking 😂

    Open all the doors and windows as wide as they’ll go and get as many fans going as you can find, then just hope and pray it goes away within a few hours. If the smell is still lingering in carpets try sprinkling baking soda around and leaving it for a while before hoovering. 

  14. Sorry but this is hilarious! 😭 Seriously though… airflow… get the windows open, maybe a fan or two on.

  15. Airflow, time and strong masking scents are your best option. Windows open, some lavender scented air freshener and you’ll be grand!

  19. [Ona Clean Linen ](https://www.onaonline.co.uk/) My friend used to use this to get rid of “horticultural” smells from his indoor hobby. Strong stuff and will destroy any other smells… Open the tub and leave the lid off for a bit. That’s what I would do

  22. Wipe down wherever you sprayed it with cleaner. Open windows and hope it goes away.

    When I was in school and had a mate who used these, more than 2 sprays was enough, unless they had one of those breakable glass things. 10-15 sprays sounds like a nightmare.

  23. Open all the windows for as long as possible & boil a pan of water (or 3) on the stove with some fresh lemons, rosemary and/or mint leaves in. You can then empty the contents into the bath and repeat!

  24. Baking soda sprinkled onto carpets. If it had permitted unti fabrics like curtains or if there were towels in the bathroom, wash them in the washing machine with white vinegar. You can mix water and white vinegar into a spray bottle and spritz it onto soft furnishings like the sofa or rugs. Keep the windows open and fans on to air it out. Good luck.

  25. Do you mean in the toilet bowl? I assume you would have bleached the hell out of it by now. Send your Mum to the pub and say sorry again!
