How Pleasant Scents in Office Bathrooms Boost Morale

The ambiance of any work space significantly impacts employee morale, productivity and satisfaction.

It works in tandem with supporting a positive collaborative community.

Pleasant smells are calming and promote relaxation, which is essential in a high stress environment, while unpleasant odors make it much harder to focus on specific tasks.

In addition to natural lighting, comfortable furniture, greenery and other subtle touches, company restrooms are also part of the bigger picture.

Stories abound of weird and even disgusting incidents involving company bathrooms that threaten the comfort of the work place community and non smelly peace.

There are problems associated with company bathrooms and the smell is only one of them. Our toilet sprays applied correctly can address that, but other unexpected things can also happen.

The Impact of Workplace Ambiance on Productivity

How Scents Influence Employee Focus and Morale

One bad office bathroom smell that could have led to a bad career move concerned a hurried pooper who sprayed dutifully before flushing, but got up too soon after releasing his mother load.

He did not realize that a large piece of you-know-what slipped into his trouser leg. 

After about 2 hours, other workers, including him, began to complain about the really bad-bad smell that seemed to be everywhere in the office, but particularly around his desk.

It was then that the poor guy discovered his trouser leg was stuck to his thigh.

At first, he thought it was melted chocolate but alas, for he was wrong and so embarrassed.

Office Bathrooms: More Than Just a Break

In its own way, a visit to the office bathroom is a temporary escape from production quotas and strict deadlines.

According to one survey, 5% of employees admit to taking a quick nap while in the bathroom and in another story, one man used a pillow to make the stall more comfortable for a quick nap.

Even more astonishing is the result of another survey that indicated that 7% of people somehow manage a mini workout while on the toilet.

The how’s and why’s remain a mystery as well as the specific exercises that could possibly enable this activity. Go figure.

Cautionary Tales: When Toilet Sprays Go Wrong

As far as what one shouldn’t do with toilet spray, office stories tell the tale.

One anonymous pooper in a small office who left a really bad smelling load every day used the toilet spray correctly but also used air freshener and perfume just to make sure she was doing the right thing.

The resulting scent was a hideous combo of chocolate chip scented air freshener, forest after rain toilet spray and Jean Nate perfume that was so bad it seeped into the hallway.

Women who worked nearby all piled into one office to escape the smell, which was said to have been like nothing on earth with bad plumbing. 

One woman who worked in a very busy, large office with just a few bathrooms would wander through the halls every day during her break time in search of a clean bathroom.

Her favorite was a small one almost hidden away in an alcove near the janitor’s closet and she always tried that one first.

She had another reason for using that particular restroom. Her boyfriend worked in an office that shared one wall with the bathroom and there was a hole in one of the walls in the stall.

His desk was right beside the hole and he was always there at the time of her break. She would send him notes through the hole and he would find them and respond.

On this day she had forgotten her toilet spray and passed him a note asking to borrow his.

He slipped it through the hole and all went well. Their love affair was different to say the least, and toilet spray saved both the day and their relationship.

4 Tips For Addressing Bathroom Smells With Toilet Sprays

There is no question that toilet sprays can solve most workplace issues concerning bathroom malodors, but there are some considerations to think about before buying toilet spray and stocking the bathroom cabinet or hitting the HR department to pay for it.

Tip 1: Consider Allergies, Sensitivities and Preferences

Take a poll and opt for scents that are generally liked and pose no risk of allergic reactions. Be mindful of scents known to be common irritants, such as heavy florals like lavender or rose.

Tip 2: Experiment With Different Scents And Get Feedback

Select scents that are gentle and not overwhelming. Get everyone’s opinion and reach a compromise via written ballot or open votes.

Tip 3: Keep The Spray Where Its Presence Cannot Be Ignored

Perhaps a nearby sign that says: Don't Be A Ditz And Spritz or Spritz Or Die: We Are Watching, might help.

Tip 4: Promote Bathroom Etiquette for a Shared Space

Bathroom etiquette goes beyond basic manners. It also involves the responsibility of leaving the office bathroom the way you found it, which translates into addressing the issue of unpleasant odors.
