Household & Surfaces > Anti-Limescale Products

Advantages: Slightly colours water, foams, provides a slight fragrance
Disadvantages: Not anywhere near as good as I expected, does it prevent limescale? I'm not so sure!

...Parazone and the well known Jeyes fluid. The Bloo range includes several different products including: Fusions Bloo Acticlean Bloo Max Bloo 'n Bleach Bloo Liquid Toilet Cleaner Bloo Solid and Liquid Rim Blocks so there are plenty of products for your loo to choose from! Overall, I would not recommend this product unless you are just after something to faintly colour your water and slightly freshen. I think there are much better products out ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and functional
Disadvantages: Still leaves you with the same amount of clothes to iron...

...I decided to check if Lidl has limescale products for washing machines on offer. First I couldn't find anything, as they do not place them with the washing powders, but in between the dishwashing liquids. But this might vary of course, depending on which Lidl Branch you visit. They are called Adritt Limescale Tablets, come in a carton of 51 (about 3.5 times more then in a packet of Calgon) and cost 3.8 £. They are as easy to use as all Limescale ...
...wash programme and that's it. They dissolve totally and, after two years of usage I never had a problem with our machine, so they seem to work. By using them you will also save some detergent as you will only have to use the amount recommended for water hardness 1- no matter how hard the water actually is in your area. I know that some people have reservations about buying at Lidl, but the quality and price of the product speak for itself - and ... Read review

Advantages: automatic cleaning
Disadvantages: no smell

...top, just underneith the familiar Asda logo. I did submit a picture to go with this op, but they have not put it on. ~How much were these and how do they compare to other brands?~ These cost us 74p in Asda, of course. Jeyes Bloo cost in the region of 90p to £1.10. Tesco ones cost 78p as do Sainsbury's, and Morrisons cost a whopping 89p. I would expect them to be cheaper. Smartpeice and Tesco Value cost only 44p-45p but are no where near ad good. ...
...the shops price checking, its just not hard to look at the stores sites to find out prices! ~How easy are they to use?~ Very easy. But this is the general idea of the product I think! All you have to do is: Clean the WC bowl as normal, including under the rim. This is because this product is meant to keep the toilet clean, not to clean a dirty toilet. Remove a block from the pack, and drop into the water in the cistern. Do not remove wrapper ... Read review

Advantages: the bottle doesnt drip when you use the toilet antu limescale
Disadvantages: it does not do what it is supposed to

I was at the asda the other day doing my usual weekly marathon shop with the little ankle biters As any mum will tell you shopping with the kids is a nightmare as they always play up when your up to your armpits in toilet roll!!! So you have the 20 min dash to get in,shop and get out as quick as possible. I went down the isle for toilet cleaner and they didnt have my usual brand so i thought i would try asda's own limescale remover for the toilet. ...
...picked up the forest fern one and off i trundled to the checkout with the little one screaming and the other 2 (who are 9 + 10) fighting all the way Got it home and you are supposed to put it in the toilet and leave it for a bit and then go back and clean it and for really bad stuck on lime scale leave it overnight (thats ok if you have 2 toilets like i do but most people dont) So put some in and left it for a while and came back to clean it. Well ... Read review

Advantages: keeps toilets smelling fresh and clean, prevents limescale
Disadvantages: block needs to be unsettled every week to work effectively

...I decided to buy Jeyes Bloo instead of my usual routine of pouring disinfectant in the cistern. I bought Bloo Acticlean from my local Morrison's store for £1.58 and opted for Bloo instead of Tesco's own label version as Jeyes has a good reputation. I opted for Bloo Acticlean Citrus over the version which is Blue in colour as I tend to prefer toilet blocks which don't turn the toilet water blue or green. Bloo is part of the Jeyes Group which was ...
...number of products in the Bloo range including: Bloo Liquid Toilet Cleaner, Bloo Power Core, Bloo Max, Bloo Solid Rim, Bloo Liquid Rim, Bloo n' Bleach to name a few. Bloo Acticlean is a cistern toilet block and is fairly new to the range. The blocks now contain bicarb (the same stuff my mum puts in Veg to keep it green!) for cleaner results in your toilet and with every flush you get a subtle fresh fragrance of citrus. This causes a rich foam which ... Read review
