Growing up my family never used sprays or candles in the bathroom, and come to think of it my husband’s family doesn’t have that sort of thing in the bathrooms when I visit.
The Japanese prefer to call it “deoderizing”. They think it is disgusting that we Americans have a bathroom exhaust fan located in the ceiling above our toilets. That means all the “dirt molecules” must pass over and around our bodies before it is exhausted. The strategically placed air intake to the ionizing filter avoids that.
I can see why it would be sold at a hospital gift shop. It is a perfect gift for someone who wants to bring a gift but doesn’t know what to give.
It is not expensive.
Everyone can use it.
It’s a funny product that sort of works.
It does not take up much space.
And the ads for it are priceless.
It gives people a laugh.
