Ok. S/P Cleaner contains "Benzisothiazolinone [and] Methylisothiazolinone" (nice) as well as the usual non-ionic surfactants and limonene. Whereas the CBY pine toilet gel contains non-ionic surfactants, disinfectant and limonene. The power gel doesn't mention limonene but it has non-ionic surfactants and disinfectant.
Surely they all function the same, as they all contain the surfactants? And I suspect the big long names function as the disinfectant?
I'm not convinced that the more expensive CBY, Power or branded products are providing anything extra or really that different.0 -

From Wikipedia (not that I know whether or not it is accurate and whether I am to believe anything I read):
Benzisothiazolinone (BIT) is a widely used biocide and belongs to the group of isothiazolinones. [...] In paints, it is commonly used as a mixture with methylisothiazolinone. [...] It is widely used as active ingredient of many home cleaning products.
"Many home cleaning products"? So, use in S/P Toilet Cleaner just like used in posh-brand cleaners?
Methylisothiazolinone or MIT or MI, sometimes erroneously called methylisothiazoline, is a powerful biocide and preservative within the group of isothiazolinones, used in personal care products. [...] Methylisothiazolinone and other isothiazolinone-derived biocides are utilized for controlling microbial growth in water-containing solutions.[1]
Meanwhile -
Disinfectants are antimicrobial agents [so they are all used for controlling microbial growth - Savvy:D, so exactly the same whether you have disinfectant or MIT] that are applied to non-living objects to destroy microorganisms that are living on the objects.[1] Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilization, which is an extreme physical and/or chemical process that kills all types of life.[1] Disinfectants are different from other antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics, which destroy microorganisms within the body, and antiseptics, which destroy microorganisms on living tissue. Disinfectants are also different from biocides [therefore refer back to BIT above - Savvy] — the latter are intended to destroy all forms of life, not just microorganisms. Disinfectants work by destroying the cell wall of microbes or interfering with the metabolism.
So, the S/P Toilet Cleaner is probably more effective as it kills more than what disinfectant does?0 -
