Refillable toilet cleaner bottle

13 replies

I recently bought some Ecover toilet cleaner and liked it so invested in the 5 litre refill. However I've since realised that once my original bottle is empty, I've no way of refilling it as I wont be able to get the spout off - its obviously not been designed to refill. Does anyone know where to find bottles with the narrow spout hat that I can fill up myself?

Splosh sell toilet cleaner which is in refillable bottles. I don't think you'd be able to get an empty bottle though - but once its run out you could easily fill it up with your ecover.

I used the Splosh one but really didn't like it. You receive a sachet of powder which you then dilute yourself in their plastic bottle. If I remember rightly it was purple and left tiny little purple specks all over the toilet which did not disappear when flushed.

Sorry ignore above! Thought you were asking for recommendations but see you already have one you like and just need a plastic bottle.

@grandadwasthatyou the one I use is blue, maybe they've changed the formula as I don't have that problem!

You can get refillable spray bottles in a garden centre. Used for misting plants.

Thanks all. I did wonder about a spray bottle but not sure if the liquid is too thick. I am thinking either a big condiment/squeezy bottle might have to do or I will have to try and prize the nozzle off this one!

I'd go with splosh. The one I have is blue so they may have changed the formula. Anyway, you can refill it with the ecover you have :)

Doh, it was actually really easy to lever off with a sharp knife so refill completed!

I was going to say I used a Tesco's white distilled vinegar bottle. Easy to get the plastic stopper out and can direct the squirting - plus water it down.

Condiment bottles, such as the mustard and ketchup bottle seen at burger vans :-) Empty, white ones can be purchased on Amazon for a reasonable price! Thank you for the inspiration.

I use a spray bottle for my toilet cleaner from Miniml. Perhaps an old fabric conditioner bottle? I know I have one knocking about still and it has a spout

LittleWingSoul · 20/04/2021 00:26

You can just use any toiletry bottle once empty! Our toilet cleaner is dispensed from a 5l bottle into an old neals yard hand-wash bottle with a pump dispenser. Never seen such a posh looking bottle of toilet cleaner!

And @lotusbell I did start out levering off the squirty cap off the original ecover bottle too, this worked for a few goes until it cracked and didn't create a seal anymore so I think you are right, they're not really made to be refilled!
