Works For Me: What's That Smell?

Now, how shall we discuss this delicately?  We can't.  I'm just forging ahead.

If you are the mother of a boy between the ages of 2 and 12, then you know that the wall behind your kids' toilet smells like a fraternity house.  Evidentally "aim" is one of the last developmental skills little boys master.

Having three boys in our household means that our bathrooms sometimes smell downright nuclear, so I've come up with a solution.  It's not as effective as coating the whole room with CONCRETE (which I've threatened to do many times), but still, it's better than nothing.

Once every day or two, spray down that wall behind the toilet with Febreeze or some other brand of fabric freshener.  It actually seems to help neutralize the odors better than cleaning alone.
