DH is newly on chemo and nauseous so needs to be effective but non stinky. Limescale control options would be nice - can be separate!

Currently considering Ecover as first try..

Thanks

When I could get it, cillit bang was great. Have now moved to harpic white and shine (?) Which also doesn't smell but drips slowly so watch it doesn't hit the wrong surface.

Think it's harpic he hates so far. Will get a selection

I'd go down the eco brand route. Method, ecover etc.

Method. Very subtle scent, cleans well, washes away leaving hardly any trace.

Shampoo and a good scrub with a loo brush- comes up sparkling and smelling fresh.

Waitrose and Sainsburys have it near me.

No suggestions here, but I wanted to wish your husband good luck for his treatment, and hope it is a complete success. Flowers

After getting a bit concerned about all the chemicals I was using in the house I've made my own cleaning stuff.
Vinegar water and lemon oil in a spray bottle is what I use every day to wipe down sink and toilet. Vinegar smell dissipates very quickly and I switch out the essential oil I add. Quick swish with toilet brush after spraying and job done! Vinegar spray daily means no limescale build up.
Also make my own furniture spray olive oil lemon juice and vinegar in equal parts smells fab!

Popping a denture cleaning tablet down the loo helps with limescale and is non smelly

Need to balance smell with germ phobia with ease of use. We have an 8mo as well so am a bit time poor at the moment to say the least.

I use the Daisy anti-bac from Aldi, plus elbow grease and a pan scrubber.

very faint smell - I don't like reeking florals either. Also effective, as with chemo in progress this is when hygiene does matter.

all the best to your husband.
