Read your toilet bow instruction first. Mine said no tablets.
I bought some for the bathroom in my daughter’s dorm room. Not sure which brand , but knowing her aversion to germs, I thought it might be helpful for her as far as cleaning the bowl…she will probably still struggle with cleaning the exterior part of the toidy
If you are talking about the type that go in the tank, don’t use them. They destroy the flapper valve and you end up with a constant trickling or dripping sound of water escaping. I found out the hard way when tablets messed up mine.
I really like Chlorox toilet bowl cleaner. I almost never have to brush. Just squirt it around the toilet about once a week.
The bowl is the easy part to clean. I’m waiting for an easy way to clean the rim, seat, lid, and outside. Yuck!
My experience has been that the flappers often start to leak over time regardless of whether we use tablets or not. So, as a long-time homeowner I have become quite adept at the quick installation of new replacement flappers (Fluidmaster 502 is my current go-to solution, and it specifically mentions chlorine-resistance). I do drop in Chlorox tablets in the fill tank and I have been pleased with the results so far. YMMV. Also, I can only use it in one bathroom, because our dogs (who have been known to drink from toilets) are allowed to roam into the other bathrooms in the house.
I totally get the merit of this thread. And, I did make the choice to read it!
But I have to note, I think we have now talked about EVERYTHING on CC!!!
Carry on!!!
I use them at work. The bathroom is cleaned weekly but the smell would get too much after a few days.
It is my understanding from a plumber that the ones that can gunk up the works are the blue gel type that sort of melt into a blob. The 1000 Flushes type are fine, and they definitely work well.
Having lived through extended utility outages from hurricanes when I lived in Florida, I think in emergency prep terms a lot. To my mind, the water in your toilet tanks is an emergency resource for if you lose incoming water to your house. Probably wouldn’t use it for drinking unless I boiled it first, but if I’d contaminated the tank with tablets I’d hesitate to use it for much of anything at all.
Not enough in the tank to drink. Use your (or your neighbor’s) 18,000 gallon pool. Get one of those UV pens. Do what you want for bathroom cleaning.
For emergency water you can usually drain it from the water heater. There is a cog at the bottom for draining that operates like a spigot.
We have a well therefore we do not have public chlorinated water. So, the tablets chlorinate our water to help keep the bowl freshened with each flush.
