LPT: Bring peppermint oil and a small spray bottle with you when traveling to deal with odors.

Submitted by Istorosa t3_yf2gr3 in LifeProTips

A little bottle of peppermint oil can be used for so many things - but I find it incredibly useful to cover unpleasant smells. A bathroom without a fan? A questionable hotel room? A car rental that still smells like a dead body in the trunk? Mix your oil with some water in your spray bottle and spritz generously.

I see you've rented a car or two after I did.

Would you be mixing this with the local water that...smells?

Lol! If the local water is stinky - which I have run into as well - then you're probably drinking bottled water so I'd used a bit of that instead of tap water.

How about just using perfume?

I find that most perfumes tend to mix with smells, instead of covering or eliminating.
