Topic Explanation:
The discussion revolves around managing toilet bowl odor for individuals with an ileostomy. The original poster, Daniel, shares his experience of using Pooph, a deodorizing spray, to eliminate lingering odors after emptying his ostomy bag. He describes his previous method of using a bleach cleaner and a bowl brush, which only replaced the odor with the smell of bleach. Daniel found that spraying Pooph after flushing effectively removed the odor and wonders why he didn't try it sooner.

Advice and Insights:

1. Flushing Techniques:
- Flushing while the water is going down can remove most of the waste, reducing the need for frequent scrubbing and minimizing odor.

2. Toilet Cleaning:
- Regularly using a clean toilet brush to scrub the sides of the bowl, even with just water, can prevent residue buildup that may cause odors over time.
- Some participants suggest that different toilets have varying effectiveness in rinsing the bowl, and it might be worth exploring toilets that clean better.

3. Alternative Odor Control Products:
- Ozium Spray: Recommended as an effective odor eliminator, with a preference for the vanilla scent, though other scents are available.
- Bleach Spray: Some users prefer using a bleach spray, such as a cheap Walmart brand, to kill odor-causing germs and leave a fresh smell.

4. Additional Cleaning Tools:
- Peri Bottle: A soft squeeze bottle filled with water can be used to rinse the toilet bowl immediately after flushing, preventing stains and residue. Adding a drop of dish soap like Dawn can enhance the cleaning effect.

5. Vacuum Toilets:
- For those looking for a more advanced solution, vacuum toilets are mentioned as an option that sucks out fumes, potentially eliminating odors more effectively.
