Odours?!

[salzburg]

Hi there, I live with 2 fellas and the bathroom carpet always gets a little smelly around the toilet bowl, any ideas on how to clean it? Also...our bin in the kitchen always smells, Ive tried to keep cleaning it and disinfecting it, but its a right pain! So just general household tips for odour and of course, the nasty bathroom smell!

Thanks in advance! :)

only one way to deal with men and bathroom carpet, remove the carpet! the urine soaks into it and will just continue to smell.
if you're keeping the kitchen bin really clean, and use a bin liner, try using zoflora disinfectant after you've washed it. it's a very srongly perfumed, concentrated disinfectant.

Put a bit of vinyl down. Follow them into the loo and find out who the culprit is.

A few loud statements "you have pi$$ed on the floor again" should shame them into taking aim.

My wife did that with me.

I quite agree. Remove the carpet.

(dilligaf I may have a solution for you re my telephone extension - which I have put on the original)

Hi guys - sounds good, thanks! Ive spent all my morning doing the bits you talked about, so thanks (still to get laminate though obviously! :-) )

I would advise against laminate and go with a good quality vinyl that looks like a wood/laminate floor.
Vinyl is much easier to fit in a bathroom especially when trying to cut around a toilet bowl. Places like 'carpet right' have a good selection and you may be able to get an offcut that will do.
If you have bath sides and ends, trying to fit laminate underneath will not be easy.

These boys just need shaming, but i've cut the carpet up and scrubbed the floor underneath and scrubbed the carpet, re-laid it and have bought a new rug for it!

Thanks guys (will buy lino next time!) :)

Just tell the guys to pee in the sink, its at a more convenient height and they can just hang the fella over the edge!!

Problem solved!!!

I however need to sit down to pee due to a piercing that turns the stream into a wide spray!!!!!
