Toilet blues

I, like many others, like to have something in the toilet tank for odors and such.

Searching for a product to put in the toilet tank I almost bought those "pucks" that us guys see in public urinals.

The word "poison" on the labels made me change my mind.

I have a sensitivity to chemicals, and despite whatever you put in the toilet tank,

the toilet needs a cleaning now and then, so I'm gonna have my hands in there.

I found one at our Foodland up here - important info on the back reads:

"Harmless to skin, pets and septic tanks".

It's one of those drip things in a small plastic bottle that hangs inside the tank and releases a bit of blue fluid each time you flush.

$1.50 for 350 ml. - lasts about a month for me (I live alone).

Pay attention, read the labels,

Glad I did!

2. It works fine, turns a nice green when ya have good pee.

but yeah, hangin' it out in the wind is better,

just make sure ya know which way the wind is blowing!

21. As long as it doesn't happen in your toilet tank...

Of course that's usually when someone else is drunk at your house...

3. I have tried many of those blue things,

and they never really worked. So I returned to the toilet brush. Only takes a minute and you have a clean toilet.

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Oh, they do not clean; - they deodorize and sanitize.

.
.

I still have to clean it manually.

Besides, I don't have to look at a yellow bowl if I do not flush every time.

Just watch as the Blue turns into different tints of green!

4. Back in my award-winning heavy-drinking days, my pee...

.
.
.
.
.
... was so caustic that it would be like sand-blasting that porcelain.
.
.
.
Shone so BRIGHTLY that it made you squint when you used it standing up.
.
.
.
No foolin'. Really. No, um... shit.

6. I just use Coca-Cola............

Works fine, and a 2-l. bottle is pretty cheap. (Not sure it's harmless to pets, though..........)

8. Just spend $2 more and by 2,000 Flushes

You'll be glad you did.

11. Our dogs think it's the deluxe water bowl.

I didn't think they were drinking out of it anymore, but they simply were being very sneaky about it.

Therefore, no additives.

[RILib]

12. never seen the need for those, and I imagine they are a hazard for pets.

With a toilet brush, your hands won't be touching anything.

[ConcernedCanuk]

15. What part did you miss in my OP?

.
.
.

must be this one

""Harmless to skin, pets and septic tanks". "

It's embossed right in the plastic bottle.

that's why I chose this product, I get my hands in there to scrub, got no pets yet, but intend to shortly.

I'm very sensitive, as is my skin is to most cleaning products, even most soaps.

Scrubbed the toilet out half a dozen times in two months in this blue water - no skin reactions at all.

Just in case you read too fast - I'll edit it for you

"Harmless to .... pets ....".

19. ti d bol costs about $1 at the dollar store and lasts forever

and from what I can tell uses iodine as the sterilizing agent.

20. try white vinegar - not in the tank

but in the bowl when you clean it. Does a great job of disinfecting and makes it sparkly - really!
If you have a Costco you can get 2 gallons of white vinegar for $3.65 (US) or so.
