"Boy Bathroom Smell"

I am a cleaning fanatic crazed fanatic! Something that has really been bothering me for a while now is my guest bathroom. It has that "Boy Bathroom Smell" and to no avail how much I clean, scrub it the smell is just there. It's embarrassing and I often wonder if my guests smell it. So I started looking around on the Internet and found this tutorial. I'm going to try it, but thought I'd share it with you all too. Please leave me a message and let me know if this works for you. Thanks have a Blessed Wednesday, stay cool my friends. :) 

Question: Our front bathroom is pretty much used by our 2 boys. My problem is that I cannot get rid of that "boy bathroom smell." I scrubbed the bathroom last week, and have made a point to wipe things down and have them do it as well. I even replaced the toilet seat. It makes me want to go in there with a pressure washer full of bleach! Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of that smell? I always worry guests can smell it too, unless I plug in the wax candle burner. 

Answer: Let's fix that problem with a few simple steps!

Here's what you will need:

Baking Soda

Lemon Juice (fresh is best)

White Vinegar

Damp Rag

Step 1: Mix a paste of baking soda and lemon juice. If you don't have lemon juice you can use water but lemon juice is a great disinfectant and great for removing odors. The consistency of the paste should be about that of pancake batter mix.

Step 2: Spread the paste all along the bottom of the toilet (where it meets the floor), the toilet seat, and any other area that gets a lot of over spray.

Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: When the timer goes off spray the dried paste with the white vinegar and let it fizzle. Once it is done fizzing wipe it up with a damp cloth.

It's very important that you don't forget about the walls and/or cupboards on either side of the toilet. It's easy to remember to wipe the floor and the toilet but the walls and cupboards will also get sprayed and they will need to be wiped down regularly too. Spray them down with vinegar, let it sit on them for a few minutes and then wipe them down.

Cleaning the toilet, floor and walls at least once a week, with these steps, will keep the smell at bay and you won't have to worry about what your guests think anymore!
