Loo Blocks OS

Good morning everyone I am just in the middle of cleaning my bathroom and especially my toilet and was wondering what you lovely people use as cistern blocks??
I suppose I am looking for a lovely bubbly, fresh smelling loo but slightly more OS than I do just now. Currently I use a well known brand of in cistern block with a lovely lemony scent but a 2 pack costs approx £1.80 :eek:

Wondering what everyone else does............

  • No idea, I use loo blocks too, but get the Aldi ones or Home Bargains have the branded ones for about £1 for two, I think they might be the ones you currently purchase?

    The Aldi ones last twice as long as the well known brand.
  • That's a fair point, actually I do find that if I use the Aldi ones I don't ned to replace them quite as quickly. I will check the time next time I put them in. I have the HB in just now, they went in last Sunday, so I'll see how long they go. TBH I think the one in the bathroom is about done already!!!
