~ ~ OK. I don’t REALLY like the smell of stinky poo!! I’d have to be a lot madder cabbie than I actually am for that to be the case. And like it or not, most folks poo IS stinky, even if some people would have you believe that their excreta smells of honeyed rose petals.
~ ~ We have a separate toilet here in the mad cabbie household. By that I mean that the loo isn’t in the same room as the bath and shower. In fact, we have two loos, with an additional one downstairs. But they are both small in size, (the rooms, I mean) and so are prone to get a bit smelly when someone has been in there dropping their guts. The time-honoured method of curing this problem is simple enough. Open a window, and let the fresh air (well, relatively fresh air!) dispel the nasty odours into the atmosphere. (Hopefully when no SAS types are in the vicinity, lest they think they have stumbled on one of Saddam’s poison gas factories) But this in itself can cause yet another wee problem. If you open the window after dark, then the house very quickly becomes overrun with nasty wee creepy crawlies of the moth/daddy longlegs/bluebottle variety, attracted by the light in the room. Now I always turn off the light behind me (honest!) but others are not always so meticulous. And nobody likes horrible wee beasties fluttering and crawling all over the place when they are trying to contemplate the mysteries of life while perched “on the throne”.
~ ~ But trust the wee lass (my eleven-year-old daughter) to come up with a solution. I arrived home during the week to discover a new addition to the décor of the “smallest room”, a ‘Glade Duet’ air freshener, which she had picked up (as she is prone to do!) on a trip to the local supermarket. And a truly ingenious little gadget it is too! It’s called the ‘Duet’ because it has two functions. Well, one function really, (to disguise the stink) but two differing methods of achieving that highly commendable goal. There’s a tiny (10ml) aerosol spray, which is surrounded on both sides by a clear plastic container of gel. This slots into a plastic dispenser, with a spray nozzle on the top. The idea is simplicity itself. Once the tags are removed, the gel will slowly release its perfume into the surrounding air for about a month, so the room is always fairly fresh smelling. And if someone then does a particularly nasty smelling ‘wee jobby’, then you can supplement this aroma by giving a quick push on the button on the top of the dispenser, which releases a more intense blast of perfume into the immediate surroundings. They state that the spray dispenser is good for about 90 shots, so even using it three times a day it should last you for about a month or so.
~ ~ There are some fairly dire warnings on the box, that it’s my duty to make you aware of. You’re advised not to lay the open sachet (before you place it in the plastic container, obviously) on any plastic or wooden surface. Also, to avoid contact with the eyes or skin, and not to put it anywhere near any source of intense heat (50C plus) or naked flame. So it’s corrosive and inflammable. So exercise a wee bit of care when you’re re-loading your dispenser, and make sure you dispose of the used freshener correctly.

...you about £2.22 (Asda). The Glade logo is clearly visible in the left-hand corner, as is the Johnson’s logo at the bottom.
The refill is contained in a foil wrap, which has printed on it a demonstration of how to remove the foil. It’s actually 2x 3.5g separate scented gel packs, connected by a plastic film at the top, which sits over a small 10ml aerosol container in a ‘poncho-like’ arrangement. Each refill individually costs £1.87 (Asda).

Advantages: It does work to cover nasty niffs Disadvantages: Its' own niff isn't that great
...by marketing I opted for Glade Duet. It’s refillable and claims to last for up to 30 days, which didn’t seem long, but my temporary housemate was only staying 3 more weeks so I figured it would do. The blurb on the box reminded me that the spray section was good for 3 sprays a day, 90 overall, that was 4 a day during his stay. The box contains a plastic container and an itsy bitsy aerosol can flanked on both sides by gel packets. The ... ...weeks. I’d recommend Glade Duet if you have a high traffic bathroom, very smelly feet or a pet with personal hygiene issues. If all you have to cope with is one healthy digestive system and a flooded kitchen then Neutradol and a plug in freshener will do the job far more discretely for you. ...

Advantages: SMELLS NICE, CHEAP Disadvantages: GEL FRAGRANCE ONLY LASTS A FEW WEEKS
...bargains’, when I spotted a Glade Duet air freshener with a free full sized bottle of pledge orange polish for only £1.35 - for that price I just couldn’t resist!
The appearance of the product isn’t as nice as the Airwick Crystal (which is a glass shape filled with coloured gel) this one is made of plastic and has wavy lines cut out of the side for the gel fragrance to escape and a little button on the top to spray with. The plastic is refillable, ... ...plastic holder.
Then your Glade Duet air freshener is ready to use. The idea is, that the gel provides continuous feshness, but the spray provides ‘a burst of freshness’ if you need it. I bought the waterfall fresh fragrance which is very nice, and smells like flowers. I have had the air freshener for about 2 weeks and although the smell from the gel was strong at first it does seem to be wearing off a bit now. Saying that though, it has been in ...

Advantages: Smells fantastic Disadvantages: a little on the expensive side
...hold your nose to?!
Glade Duet is a brilliant gel based air freshener, with one touch you can disguise any odour!
The Waterfall Fresh product combines the smell of fresh flowers with a sweet aroma and fruity fragrance. And better still Glade Duet last for 30 days approximately, it's fantastic!
It combines a gel and spray in just one product and provides continuous fragrance from the gel and instant freshness with a single spray for instant odour ... ...dispenser.
You can buy refills from supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's when the spray is empty.
Cost: £1.99
Glade Duet also comes in Citrus Zest, Garden country, and luscious pear. Sound absolutely lovely, don't they. Why don't you try them, you have nothing to lose! ...
