This topic is about finding the best deodorizer options to manage bathroom odors for someone with an ileostomy. The person is having trouble with lingering smells after emptying their ileostomy pouch, even after multiple flushes and using various air fresheners. They are looking for effective, mild-scented solutions. Here are some suggestions and insights shared by others:

- General room-air and bowl sprays:
1. Febreze Unstoppables “Simmer” can be sprayed, then run the fan or close the door.
2. Air Wick or Glade aerosol sprays can be used, with some spraying directly into the toilet bowl while flushing.
3. Lavender-scented Lysol spray is noted to mask odors better than Glade, Febreze, or Poo-Pourri.
4. Pouring Pine-Sol or Fabuloso into the bowl after flushing helps neutralize residual smells.

- Products made for ostomy use:
1. Coloplast pouch/irrigation-sleeve deodorant sprays.
2. Coloplast Brava Pouch Deodorizer.
3. Hollister M9 odor-eliminating drops can be placed inside the pouch after each emptying.
4. Generic “blue odor drops” from some distributors can be added to the pouch after emptying.
5. Gentell Ease Odor Eliminator spray is available online.
6. Nilodor Deodorizer Concentrate is another option.

- Water-surface products:
1. Poo-Pourri can be sprayed on the toilet water before emptying to prevent airborne odors.

- Continuous or heat-based fragrance options:
1. Electric wax-melt warmers offer a wide choice of scented waxes.
2. Glade plug-in air fresheners work for some, but there are cautions about potential overheating or fire risks.
3. Scented candles or jar candles can be lit while emptying and left burning for about 15 minutes afterward.
4. Incense sticks can be burned during or after pouch emptying.

- Ventilation and air-movement solutions:
1. Installing or using a bathroom ventilator fan can provide psychological and some real benefits.
2. Opening the bathroom window and using a small portable fan can help with airflow in apartments without ceiling fans.
3. Stand-alone hypoallergenic or industrial-grade air purifiers can help remove odor particles.

- Odor-absorbing or covering agents and accessories:
1. Jeyes Fluid can be poured into drains for severe, whole-house odors.
2. Olbas oil or Vicks VapoRub can be placed near the nose to personally mask smells.
3. Drop-in bleach or blue toilet-tank tablets can keep the bowl fresher between uses.

- Plumbing and structural checks:
1. Persistent bathroom odors may stem from vent-pipe or trap problems; extending or repairing the foul-vent pipe and adding a pressure valve eliminated odor for one person.

- Usage techniques:
1. Begin flushing as the pouch is emptying and flush again immediately afterward.
2. Close the toilet lid between flushes.
3. Regularly change the pouch, such as every other day, as longer wear times can let odor permeate the appliance.
