Question from Mary
The woman in the apartment below me uses some sort of air freshener/disinfectant that smells like a gas station bathroom. It smells like somsething that would be hard on the liver. Rather than a spray, I think it must be some sort of electrical device that constantly emits this odor. She has little use of her legs, so I suspect she has a problem with incontinence. Many days this odor comes in here through an open window, or up through the floor if the window is closed. She is also deaf, so I have to discuss this with her mother who has been very defensive in the past. I’d like to know what this product they use is if anyone has any best guesses, and I am wondering whether anyone can think of a substitute that would be less toxic. Even natural products like essential oils would be a problem for me. I don’t know whether an air filter would solve their problem. I am wondering what others with incontinence problems use. Thanks.
