More to the point, what wad I thinking in buying it?

Citrus fresh.

Urgh, the colour of it makes it look like my toilet needs a good scrub, not that its just been cleaned and is nice and "fresh"!

I misyekenly bought some cistern blocks the the other day. For the first 24hrs my loo was a frothing turquoise ferment. The next day - nothing but a blue tideline Angry.

I'd be happy with a blue tide line compared to the disgusting, orangy colour the water is now!

Who on earth thought that it was a great colour for a toilet cleaner??

my gran used to say don't buy yellow toilet cleaners for that reason too lol. Saying that i like toilet ducks green one. I actually used to crave for it with my second pregnancy and would clean the loos two or three times a day just to smell it lol

I once bought an orange spiced bleach around christmas time, it had scrubby bits in to erm exfoliate your toilet Hmm
Anyway we were leaving our flat and one of the things the agencies deducted money for was that the toilet "looked dirty" Shock

Exfoliate your toilet?? I knew my housekeeping wasn't up to scratch but I didn't realise I was supposed to be giving my toilet a facial.

I didn't even think about the colour when I bought it. I am now wondering about the product development/marketing meetings and why no one said it looks like piss, boss?

lucytails I'm so pleased you said that! I'm currently pregnant with DC2 and keep cleaning the toilet so I can smell the bleach Blush

Laughing at exfoliating your toilet! Grin

@VFVF - lol glad i wasn't the only one then lol. i used be awful. i would sometimes just squirt toilet duck around the loo before i had a bath just so i could smell it whilst lying in the bath lol. Do you mean bleach as in the chlorine thick domestos type bleach or one of the fragranced toilet bleaches?

VFVF · 10/12/2011 09:02

Any of them to be honest Blush We have a lemony toilet cleaner that's lovely (and no, it doesn't stsin the bowl Grin)

I went to my Mum's house last weekend, went to use her toilet and thought I'd died and gone to heaven! She'd obviously just cleaned it, and sent a good slosh of domestos down afterwards! I kept finding excuses to go to the toilet, I bet tjey thought I had the runs!

Sorry for the hijack!
