Why's there suddenly so many different types of toilet cleaners in the shops?

Noticed tonight in the cleaning aisle. Foaming powders to pour down the u-bend. Some new zoflora expanding foaming spray. That upside down bleach spray. When did cleaning the loo suddenly become such a fad? What happened to just some bleach or toilet duck?

Because most of them are really really bad for the environment.

The only thing I’ve found that actually gets limescale and stains off is a toilet pumice stone. They come with a long plastic handle and you literally scrub with them. Gets your loo really clean, I don’t use any other cleaner on it apart from some bleach once a week.

DS has been refurbishing his bathroom. He couldn't find any new sinks/loos he fancied at a reasonable price so he took the old stuff into the garden and doused it with hydrochloric acid.
It looks brand new!

It;s all part of the ridiculous cleaning as a hobby trend.

What all those chemicals must be doing to the water courses, lakes and rivers. Never mind all the single use plastics.

I just use own brand toilet duck and that does the job, how filthy are people's toilets to need much else?
