QotW: 19.05.12 - Does lighting a candle get rid of bathroom smells?
« on: 13/05/2019 10:03:44 »
Patrick asks:

My wife wants me to light a candle after doing my number 2, to get rid of the smell.
Does this actually do anything?



Can you help him out with an answer?

Lighting a candle gives you something to do while the fumes dissipate and// or you get used to them.

The acrid smoke of a match hides milder odors...
