Coloured bleach?

Can anyone tell me of a brand of bleach that comes in blue or green? It seems every bleach I buy whatever colour the bottle is, has a yellowish bleach in it which looks a bit grim when you leave it in the loo to kill germs and then someone else walks in and see's it! :rolleyes:

Thanks!!

    You could try one of the more environmentally friendly loo cleaners that are just a clear liquid.....the Co-op does a good own brand one and it smells nicer than bleach. If you prefer using bleach, then the thin bleaches are the most economical. Lidl do a big 5 litre container very cheaply. I know it looks slightly yellowy in the loo bowl.....are you worried people visiting your house will think it's wee? I have to say that wouldn't bother me.....the way I'd look at it myself is that if vistors have time to be seriously pondering the insides of my toilet bowl then they haven't got enough to think about!

  • I always put the seat down, and put the bleach bottle on the seat, (as a reminder for family to flush it before performing) . Then just tell visitors, oh there is bleach in the loo, so you might wanna flush it first). Problem sorted.

    Nor me, and besides the very strong smell of bleach would immediately tell me what it was;)

    I leave the brush in the loo :T It's then pretty obvious, and the family can give it a final S&S before using :D

    Hee-hee! That's the problem exactly - especially as I leave both seats up when I bleach. With 3 males in the household I constantly hear "Who forgot to flush?!" I like the idea of leaving the seat down with the bottle on it - I will do that in future! Thanks all :T

    Do they not smell the bleach? I've never really noticed it looking yellow( any I've used have been clear, own brand or value) but you tend to smell it before you see it as it's such a strong smell.

    I'm sure I've seen pink bleach somewhere, possibly in Tesco.
  • Domestos pink bleach doesn't leave yellowy bleach - it's clear - I buy it just for my loo :o
