In a bathroom that does not have a window, ceiling fans or other ventilation.
Some people leave the doors open so the fumes can dissipate, but all that does is release the poisonous air out into the rest of the house.
I always close the door, and somehow the stink seems to vanish. I don’t know how, maybe it sinks to the floor, or down the drainholes, or up into the ceiling, or maybe the stink molecules break up to C02 and H20.
So maybe Ms. Manners can tell us, what do you do after pooping, open or close the door?
Major Feelgud, you could always strike a match. That is unless we’re talking “major” fumes in which case that might ignite a fire. In that case, I suggest a good industrial strength air freshener.
Whenever I have to take care of toiletial business, I always finish off with a good squirt of air freshener. Then I leave the door to the plopetiere open just a tad, so the room can ventilate gradually, without contaminating the rest of the house in one fell swoop.
I usually close it most of the way, but leave a crack for air to pass through to help facilitate dissipation, maybe an inch and a half. It seems to work well.
It is against the building code in most places for such a bathroom to be built, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
swampbear you’d be surprised how many people don’t know about using matches. The worst thing about motels having “no smoking” rooms is that they don’t give out matches and if you are sharing a motel room you need matches.
I close the door and leave the vent on, and have done so ever since the day I kidded Ms. cornflakes about stinking up the place and she pointed out that I was the last one to go. :eek:
As a matter of fact, I put the fan on the same switch as the light. We have to use it, at least at night.
