Do Loo Cleaner Tabs have a fragrance?Updated 9 days ago

Koh Loo Cleaner Tabs have no added fragrance. The formula contains no perfumes, no synthetic scents and no masking agents, and the cold water-soluble PVA film around each tablet is unscented too. Most mainstream toilet cleaners lean on heavy perfume to cover the smell of their cleaning agents. The oxygen-based formula in Loo Cleaner Tabs is low in odour to begin with, so there is nothing to cover up. The tabs are Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia and certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA). People vary, so no cleaner suits every household, but a formula with no added fragrance is generally a safer choice in a scent-sensitive home.

You will notice a faint fizz while the tablet dissolves in the bowl water. Customers describe it as fresh and slightly mineral, close to sparkling water. It is not perfumed and it is not sharp. Once the solution has done its work and you flush, the bowl is left with no lingering scent at all. If you have moved across from a chlorine bleach toilet cleaner, the absence of a strong smell can take a few cleans to read as clean, because bleach has trained most of us to treat scent as proof. Add essential oil to the bowl if you would rather finish with a noticeable scent.

You can. Add 2 to 3 drops of essential oil straight into the toilet bowl alongside the Koh Loo Cleaner Tab. Both Koh oils work well here: Eucalyptus Oil is fresh and clean, and Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil is citrus-fresh and the more popular of the two. Two to three drops is plenty for one clean. More does not make the scent stronger and can leave an oily film on the bowl. Drop the oil in at the same time as the tab, let both fizz and dissolve, scrub, leave it to sit, then flush. Bowl only, never the cistern.

No. Keep essential oils out of the cistern tank. Oils do not dissolve in water, so they coat and build up on the rubber seals, the flapper valve and the fill valve inside the cistern, and those parts degrade or warp over time. That means leaks, a running toilet and a plumbing bill worth more than a year of toilet cleaner. This is different from the tablet itself. A Koh Loo Cleaner Tab can go in the cistern, because it dissolves cleanly in water and rinses through. Essential oil does not. If you want a scented clean, use the bowl method and keep the cistern free of added fragrance.
