Why is there purple loo cleaner? WHO WOULD BUY PURPLE?

I grabbed the wrong loo cleaner and now I have purple in my loo. It's not nearly as clean looking as blue. Or clear. Or I suppose green, at a push, though I don't love the magic tree smell.

Don't even get me started on yellow.

LadyFuschia - I promise I am genuinely spluttering with outrage.

I think pink it weird because it's a genuine body fluid colour.

Personally I'd rather have purple than the pale yellow one you can get. But pine is my favourite!

I don’t know what pink you’re all buying but the one I buy is bright pink and doesn’t look at all like something that comes out of my body 😂

WhatToDoAboutWailmerGoneRogue · 08/11/2018 21:01

Also OP, don’t people know you’ve cleaned the loo because it’s, you know, clean? Grin

ShesABelter · 08/11/2018 21:02

Raven you squirt it in and clean it then squirt it on and leave it so that it sits for awhile and kills more germs.

PhilomenaButterfly · 08/11/2018 21:04

DS2 would if he had his own money and was old enough to clean the loo.

Furrycushion · 08/11/2018 21:07

I thought you were supposed the leave it to get rid of limescale. And stuff.

PhilomenaButterfly · 08/11/2018 21:09

DM squirts it round when she's done a shit at ours to hide the smell. I always point meaningfully at the can of air freshener.

I don't mind purple but why do they make yellow!!!? It just looks like someone has done a wee and hasn't flushed.. gross.
Blue is the best

sparklepops123 · 08/11/2018 21:13

How is pink a body fluid colour ! I stock up when offer , love it 😂

OMG no!!! My family have literally no idea that things get dirty and I clean them. They think we live in a magical house that always remains clean. Therefore I have to stride around pointing out that I've washed and cleaned things and that it was really nice of me and everyone should be grateful and appreciate everything I do for this family.

Yes, obviously we can all agree that piss coloured yellow loo cleaner is some sort of joke that got out of hand and now no one in the loo cleaning industry knows how to take it back.

Seriously?

DwangelaForever · 08/11/2018 21:31

I was on board with the purple loo cleaner until I saw it was lavender horrible!

I always buy ocean fresh toilet cleaner, never tried anything else!

DwangelaForever · 08/11/2018 21:31

Also why do people buy loo blocks I've never understood - how do you know if your pee is healthy? Blush

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/11/2018 21:43

Lavender isn't a bathroom smell. Furniture polish maybe, but all wrong for the loo — you need fresh, not floral in there.

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 08/11/2018 21:49

i squoosh extra cleaner round after a scrub,, AND I stand the bottle on the closed lid to UNDERLINE that the toilet is clean.

I only like blue loo cleaner, a friend had pink once, it scared me when I lifted the lid!

Flamingoose · 08/11/2018 21:55

Nice UNDERLINING touch there MsMighty. I may steal that idea.

My bathroom has pink loo cleaner and cistern blocks so the water is always a bright pink colour and the el smells of flowers. I fucking love it.

Downstairs I use yellow toilet gel and the white bleach cistern blocks because they don't sell yellow ones ☹️

I accidentally bought purple loo gel because it was in pink packaging and it honestly made me so upset because it no longer matched my pink theme in the upstairs bathroom 😂 sad I know but I would use it if my bathroom was purple

AnneProtheroe · 08/11/2018 22:37

My loos flush pink.

I do like a nice smelling loo. I am now officially turning into my exMIL.

Stop me before I crochet a toilet roll dolly. Grin

There is not NEARLY enough purple in that crochet dolly skirt Anne.

I managed to buy some loo cleaner that's that awful dark yellowy browny colour like stale urine. WHY just why.

BBTHREE76 · 09/11/2018 23:45

I love all things purple and was all for heading out to buy this when you just said “purple toilet cleaner”, but now I know it’s lavender I am gutted and won’t be buying. Lavender is vile. 😬
