Get an overview of different types of toilet bowl cleaners and know which one works best.
A wise person once said that if you want to affirm the cleanliness of a space, check the toilet first. A clean toilet bowl speaks volumes of your office’s hygiene and cleanliness. An improperly cleaned toilet is not only unsightly but also can contribute to infecting the surrounding environment.
The market offers different types of toilet bowl cleaners and almost all of them seem to make the job easier. But which one is effective and best suited for your pocket? Let’s find out.
Different Types Of Toilet Bowl Cleaners
Here is a low-down on different types of cleaners available to you.
| Type Of Cleaner | Nature | Application Guidelines |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid Cleaner | The perfect disinfectant handwash |
1. Spray the cleaner over the rim and along the interior of the toilet bowl. 2. Allow it to rest for a few minutes. 3. Scrub it using a toilet brush to remove tough stains. |
| Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets | Chemical tablet |
Drop the tablet into the toilet tank and flush it out.
The tablet helps kill pathogenic bacteria, such as staph, strep, Salmonella, and E. Coli that commonly populate the toilet bowl. These tablets contain bleach. As you flush the toilet, bleach is released from the capsule. It prevents grime from sticking around and removes tough stains. |
| Toilet Bowl Cleaner Powder | Borax powder |
1. Apply the borax powder into the toilet bowl. 2. Scrub it all over using a sponge or brush. |
Which Toilet Bowl Cleaner Is Right For You?
Of the three, it is best to use a liquid cleaner.
