Can I use Bathroom & Shower Cleaner on the toilet bowl?Updated 6 hours ago
TL;DR: Above the waterline, yes. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner handles the seat, lid, rim, under-rim, bowl walls, base and exterior. Below the waterline it is the wrong tool, because a spray just dilutes into the bowl water and washes away. That part of the job belongs to Loo Cleaner Tabs, which are built to sit in the water and dissolve where the staining is. Scrub with Loo Blade, flush, and the whole toilet is done in one session.
Can I use Bathroom & Shower Cleaner on the toilet bowl?
✓ The waterline is the dividing line
Everything above the water is a spray-and-wipe job, and Bathroom & Shower Cleaner is built for exactly that. Seat, lid, hinges, rim, under-rim, the bowl walls above the water, the cistern, the base and the outside.
Everything below the water is a different problem. A foaming spray hits the water, dilutes, and is gone. Nothing to do with the formula, it is just what happens when you spray a liquid into more liquid. That is the job Loo Cleaner Tabs were made for.
How do I clean the toilet above the waterline?
✓ Above the waterline, four steps
Spray everything above the water. Seat, lid, hinges, rim, under-rim, bowl walls, cistern, base and exterior. Cover the area properly rather than spotting it.
Let the foam dwell. A few minutes. The foam clings to the vertical bowl wall, which is the point of it, and that dwell time is doing most of the work.
Scrub, then wipe. Loo Blade around the bowl and up under the rim, where the build-up hides. Damp cloth for the seat, lid and exterior.
Flush. Clears the loosened soil and any rinse water out of the bowl.
What should I use below the waterline?
✓ Below the waterline, the tablets do it
Below the waterline, Loo Cleaner Tabs are the purpose-built product. A tablet sits in the water and dissolves slowly, so the product stays where the ring and the mineral staining actually are instead of washing off in the first few seconds.
Drop one in. Leave it 10 to 15 minutes for everyday soil, or overnight if there is a stubborn ring. Scrub with Loo Blade, then flush. Individually wrapped, so there is nothing to measure.
Loo Cleaner Tabs are certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) and Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia.
How do I do a full toilet clean in one go?
✓ Full toilet, one session
Drop the tab in first. Loo Cleaner Tab goes in before anything else, so it is already working while you do the rest.
Spray everything above the water. Bathroom & Shower Cleaner on the seat, lid, rim, under-rim, cistern, base and exterior.
Give it 10 to 15 minutes. Both products are working at once. The tablet below the waterline, the foam clinging above it. Go and do something else.
Scrub both zones. Loo Blade handles above and below without swapping tools. Damp cloth for the seat, lid and exterior.
Flush. Done.
Do either of these disinfect the toilet?
⚠ Cleaning rather than disinfecting
Neither Bathroom & Shower Cleaner nor Loo Cleaner Tabs is a disinfectant. What they do is remove things. Soil, body oils, mineral staining, the ring at the waterline and the residue the smell is coming from. That is a cleaning job, and it is the one they are built for.
If your household needs a registered disinfectant for a particular reason, use a product registered for that purpose and follow its label.
