Stench busting.


I have been living in a caravan for the past 2 years and one of the things a small space is unforgiving of is things that stink. In my case I am very anti deodorants and sprays and underarm mustard gas. I am one of those folk that just gag over any of those products designed to hide "bad" smells.  On a more philosophical level - what is wrong with people smelling like people? I once covered the Olympics as a photo journalist and saw some of the stinkiest fittest and most amazing people on the planet. I once saw a female athlete do 200 sit ups then yawn. Suffice it to say I like the smell of fit human beings.

Living in a caravan, even a tray that once held chicken pieces after a day in the trash, will stink the van out completely.

I found a great product - it is not expensive - it is not hard to find.

It is called waxworks "mozzie sticks" and you might imagine a citronella nightmare but it isnt. The citronella is minimally detectable and the sandalwood is  good honest product. I speak as one who when out bush would take time to find native sandlewood to get smouldering over the whole proceedings.

Awesome product - not over priced - does the job - It is important to understand one's lifestyle particularly if it involves cutting a bit feral. What works and what doesn't.

Kindest of Regards to all GeeNsss.

Muzzlehatch, I imagine the mozzie sticks to be some sort of incense or similar to mosquito coils - If that is the case how do you use it in caravan? I would have thought the smoke and CO2 Alarm be activated.
Also where is it obtained?
