what does lighting a match do for the scent in the toilet? is this method better than a good mist of air freshener?

you light a match after someone farts...the sulfur in match heads mask th scent of methane gas from farts

A mist of air freshener I feel is a lot better. I do not like the smell of matches though.

The sulfur that burns from the match helps eliminate the methane in the air as well as cover the scent...makes a world of difference

Better than a match, keeping a small candle in a votive or jar burning in the bathroom helps to burn away the stinky gases in the air. A bit of scent in the candle helps even more

smells are basically water vapor, the match burns off the vapor therefore burning away the smell. Matches also release a sulfur smell and smoke from the paper burning which masks the smell also.

This is a good question to ask,it really help the scent of the bathroom.

Lighting a match lets off a sulfur smell, and that smell can cover up the other smell:)

You will actually burn the methane out of the air. Also the burning sulphur in the match will mask any smells.

There are "Sented" matches that have a little incense in them,they
are the ones that should be in the rest room.Not kitchen matches.
