This new toilet duck has mugged me off. Where is the 99.9% germ kill claim?

I picked up a new version of toilet duck a few weeks ago. Virtual Violet. Snazzy name and pretty bottle sucked me in. I was getting on fine with it up to now. Nice colour and smells nice but just put some down the toilet before I jumped in the shower when I noticed on the bottle there was no 99.9% germ kill tag as you usually get with a loo cleaner. Removes limescale blah blah blah but no germ kill. Looked at the back of the bottle in the list of ingredients and it doesn't even contain disinfectant. Feeling totally mugged off by toilet duck doing a half arsed job and probably left my loo with a two week backlog of germs no doubt mocking me.

[adds bleach to the weekly shopping list]

Toilet duck acts as an air freshener

The green pine one does smell nice.

We don't get limescale where I live so I wouldn't even be bothered about the descaling element, I also don't really care if it kills germs, I just don't like it to have stains.

I’ve gone YABU because I don’t understand why people don’t just use bleach, it’s cheaper too.

Bleach doesn’t remove limescale. This product does.

Ah ok, we don’t get limescale so it’s not something I think about!
