toilet cleaner

Can anyone recommend a good eco toilet cleaner? I used to use Sainsbury's eco range one but it's not stocked in my local store anymore. I use Bio D for kitchen cleaner and washing up liquid. Is their toilet cleaner any good?

Some people use vinegar & other put cola down at night.

I use the Co-op own brand one. It seems to do the job as well as Ecover & other eco brands I've used.

I've only used the BioD toilet cleaner once and I don't know if I got a bad batch but it was really lumpy and wouldn't mix together even if shaken - so when I poured it down the toilet it looked like someone had been sick as it was yellow with liquid and lumps, it was so vile looking I only used it a few times and poured the lot down, it was all clinging to the toilet cleaner brush so in the end I binned that too, not very eco friendly!! But it might have just been a bad batch as I say.

I now use Ecover again which I was using before anyway as I like it, seems effective (I clean the toilet weekly though so haven't tested it on a really scummy toilet) and smells ok.

I've used soda crystals for a long time to clean the loo. They work really well and have a good environmental impact. You don't need to use a lot, a level tablespoon is ok.

I've not used an eco one before, but I used to work for Co-op and there eco range was quite popular. They also have 20% off there eco range every few months so maybe keep an eye out because it makes it very cheap!

Hi there, get yourself some tea tree oil, mix it with some water in a spray bottle. Spray it the loo, give it quick scrub....get rid of any 'nasty' marks, it's antibacterial and it smells nice. I bought a 15ml bottle of tea tree (about £3) and it lasts ages so works out really cheap aswell.

we use Bio D or eco Leaf & they are both good
We don't use Ecover due to the air miles involved & the fact they still test on animals

I have used several different biodegradable toilet cleaners including Bio-D and they are all effective. Bio-D stinks a bit tho, kind of vinegary whereas some of the others are more lemony.

Soda crystals and a good dash of lemon juice give it a good scrub with the loo brush leave for as long as you want = spotless loo and smells lemony.
Might mix a drop or 2 of t tree with the soda seems a good idea!

I've tried caustic soda ..it does not work ..and doesn't touch the lime scale ..

The only stuff I could get to work is masonry cleaner ..which is mild hydrochloric acid. 15 percent is a good one..look around because there is a lot of weak rubbish out there .£5 - £8 a gallon... acid .so careful careful careful.!!!!

ECO.....well yes .because hydrochloric is basically what's in your stomach ..not as concentrated though .

All the best.markj
