Has anyone used Poopourri in an RV toilet?

[Mbethrobi]

The company says it is safe for RV toilets, anyone have any specific experience with this product?

Thank you

Dangers of Air Fresheners


"In no way, shape or form does a chemically-scented fragrance and/or aerosols propelled by butane, propane or other toxins create an indoor environment of fresh air. Chemical "deodorizers" or chemical air "fresheners" only mask other odors. These products do absolutely nothing to improve the quality of indoor air, and in fact, can contribute to a host of ailments from headaches, high pulse rate and nausea; to mention a few.

Reports of the dangers of chemical air "fresheners" are just beginning to make the news. A recent MSN article stated that being exposed to air "freshener" chemicals as little as once a week can increase your odds of developing asthma symptoms as much as 71 percent and can contribute to an increased risk of a number of pulmonary diseases. The article went on to state that "A 2006 study showed that people with high blood levels of the chemical 1.4 dichlorobenzene -- commonly found in air fresheners -- were more likely to experience a decline in lung function."

A September 2007 TIME magazine article, 'How "Fresh" is Air Freshener' reported that the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) discovered that most chemical air "fresheners" contained variable amounts of substances called phthalates (pronounced THAL-ates). Besides the use of phthalates used as sealants and adhesives and to soften plastics, they are also used to dissolve and carry fragrances. The TIME article went on to report that "phthalates are commonly found in a variety of products, including cosmetics, paints, nail polish and children's toys -- and have long been at the center of a larger international controversy over their health effects."
Above is a quote from the article on the dangers of Air Fresheners and I believe in the small confines of an RV your odds of getting sick are much better.

This product is not an aerosol and it is made of essential oils.

Not one respondent has had the experience that you asked for.

Considering he asked two separate questions, I think the answers are germane.

On my computer the answers are in english, not german but you never know about other peoples computers.

Methinks the answers are sort of germinating... :W

Sheriff Justice told me the !@&*!! Germans ain't got nothin' to do with it!! :W

Wife loves that stuff and we used it in the sticks and bricks. We use the Blue Streak system in the RV and really love it. Nothing to do, automatically get a bit of smell goods every flush. Great stuff.

I hate to bring this up but I can't avoid it. If someone has that strong of an odor, there is either something wrong with their diet or they are sick. Healthy diets, good bowel moments, will result in little to no odor.

Funny how we check what our dogs do when they number 2 but most humans are unaware of what they produce and what it can indicate in terms of health.

A good mix of proteins like chicken and fish (the same special ingredients we look for in our pet foods), vegetables and smaller amounts carbohydrates and fats (junk food) usually render less odor. Also, exercise plays a big part in being regular. If you're not going at least once a day, putrification is taking place and is a major cause of colon/rectal and intestinal cancer. So if it's that bad, a good gastrointestinal doctor should be sought out.

That statement is not entirely true. Bacteria digesting different foods is the main cause of odor. Meat eaters will have a much stronger odor.
Talk to your doctor and he will very this and probable dispute some of the above statements.

Simply amazing that folks don't pay attention to what there bodies are telling them...........or don't have a clue.
Good poop doesn't stink..........bad poop does for a reason.

Poupourri has a Facebook page and has been very responsive to my questions (was looking for the original call of doody scent). Maybe post question there.

But like I said, just spray it twice high in the air during or after your event, and it should be fine...

The wife found this stuff somewhere. We use it at home and in the RV works great.

[skipnchar]

The matter of safety may account for some of the confusion about what the op intended to do with it. How could air freshener be anything but safe in an rv?

I've been using Calgon (take me away) with pretty good luck and it's cheap.
