to have blue toilet water? Will mn shun me?

[VeryEarlyDays]

DP has cleaned the toilet -and-is-walking-round-like-the-all-conquering-hero-. He's put some special cleaning block in the cistern which has turned the toilet water bright blue. Considering MN thinks a toilet brush is a faux pa I wondered what opinions are on blue water; should I claim we are embracing the summer festival chemical toilet look?

It's when the water goes bright blue after you've been for a wee that you need to worry.

I use the bloo brand ones, but the clear water ones that create a pleasing float and lemon smell when I flush

FOAM! Not float.

Oh dear autocorrect fail. No one wants a floater!

maxxy I can reassure you that too many blue coloured alcoholic drinks do not turn your wee blue

it goes green instead, so i'm told

Its very normal in Aus to have beautiful blue toilet water. And there is a whole section in the grocery aisle dedicated to it. I feel weird if my water isn't blue.

Its the summer holidays. I have purple toilet blocks because my Ds does not flush the loo and often a sprays urine everywhere. I have to clean it every time I use it. Ds does prefer blue because when he pees the water changes to green

It stops the whole bathroom stinking of pee. Roll on the day I get into the new house and have a bathroom all of my own!

As for seeing the colour of your pee. Yes, I check that too. I'm terrible for not drinking enough liquids and will up my water intake if I notice its a bit dark. Can't do that so much atm and its a small price to pay with so so many more people peeing all day than usual.

My plumber also told me not to use them, damages something, can't remember what, possibly plastic fittings inside cistern.

Pink loo water here and not a toilet brush in sight (yuck)

We have blue water too, sometimes pink. The dogs & cats don't drink it as they have their water bowls filled constantly.

I was told by a plumber not to use one of those things in plastic cages that colours the water as all too often then come loose and block the toilet.

So disappointed! thought the thread would be about a new blue toilet water(like eau de cologne,or evening in paris) not lavatories and brushes!(old gimmer emo.)

At least with pink toilet water you won't have a little panic when you eat beetroot and pee pink and don't realise why, like I do every single time I eat it.

I didn't think people bought those blue things anymore as they are known to block up the toilet. And it's not even a nice calming shade of blue......it's electric blue

Fine in an old fashioned toilet. In a modern toilet with a plunger type flush, it rots the fittings.

Why would I want to see the colour of my wee?

I am prone to cystitis, the very first sign of an attack is a slight chance to colur and smell of my wee. A blue floral smelling loo and I miss both of those signs and end up with a much worse attack for not catching it early.

Also I worry the blue is not good for tHe environment

Arf @ Maxi and the blue WKD story!

Blue toilet water - naff; (like knitted toilet roll covers)
Bog brushes - keep only for guests' use (don't really expect them to get the rubber gloves on if they do a skiddy).

Hope that helps.
