When shopping around for toilet cleaners, homeowners might find themselves overwhelmed with the amount of products available. Many toilet-cleaning products contain strong chemicals which can leave a pungent scent. Others require homeowners to put the product in the bowl and forget about it.

They said: “Remember, never use bleach in combination with any other cleaning product as it can give off dangerous gases.”
