Whenever you need to go to the toilet, whether it is at someone else’s house or a public convenience, don’t you always look to see if the toilet bowl is clean and smelling fresh? I know I always do and I tend to judge people by the state of their “smallest room”. The toilet is a breeding ground for germs and if someone’s toilet is in a neglectful state then I always wonder how clean is their kitchen. If their toilet is clean then I am always happy to have a cup of tea and/or food because I know that hygiene is important to that person. I simply cannot stand to see a dirty toilet especially if the bowl is full of limescale which has turned dark brown through obvious toilet actions. Yuk, the mere thought is revolting! There is no need for anyone’s toilet to be either full of limescale or discoloured as there are so many toilet cleaners on the market to choose from. Not all of them work and I think I have tried most of them but as I live in a hard water area it has been a constant battle to keep my toilet free of limescale. Sometimes I have had to resort to putting the rubber gloves on and getting a scourer and using elbow grease to get rid of the limescale. This is hard work and not a job I enjoyed doing until I found a little gem that I simply cannot be without now - it is my little miracle worker and it is called Neutradol Toilet Cleaning Tablet.
Through
the years, Neutradol has become THE specialist for bad odour treatment not only in the air freshener market but also in the toilet cleaning environment. The Neutradol range is becoming wider and wider and every odour problem finds its solution thanks to its dynamic research and development laboratory.
WHAT ARE NEUTRADOL TOILET CLEANING TABLETS? ************************************************************* They are claimed to be a new generation of deodorising compounds which are coupled with powerful cleaning agents which ensure that our toilet bowls are kept odour free but, at the same time, clean and safe from germs and claim to be the world’s No.1 deodoriser. Neutradol contains over 50 ingredients and attacks the bad odours which can obviously be left in our toilets and leave the toilet smelling fresh and clean. Each tablet weights 25g.
WHAT DOES THE PACKAGING LOOK LIKE? ************************************************ There are 10 individually wrapped effervescent tablets contained in each box which is coloured blue and white and there is a white toilet on the front of the box showing a rather larger than life tablet being dropped into the bowl. One would think that this image is a sheer figment of the imagination but I think it is a fitting image because it may be a little tablet in real life but it performs a huge miracle in that toilet bowl! It states that the tablet also cleans around the bend of the toilet and that it deodorises, removes limescale and kills germs. There is a large black X against an orange background on the back of the package which is the sign that it is an irritant.
On one side of the box it states that the contents contain less than 5% anionic surfactants and from 5% to less than 15% oxygenated bleaching agents.
HOW DO I USE THE TABLETS? *********************************** I use one tablet once a week and usually keep my routine to the same particular day ie. Sunday evening. Just before going to bed flush the toilet and wait until the water is still - I then very carefully open the carton and take out an individually wrapped tablet and drop it into the toilet bowl. You will instantly see the tablet bubbling to the surface of the water level and you will most definitely hear it making a “hissing” sound. You can be then safe in the knowledge that you can go to bed, have a good night’s sleep knowing that the tablet is working away overnight to soften the limescale and kill any germs that are lurking around your toilet. You can leave it for 30 minutes if you want a quick clean before someone important visits otherwise leave it soaking overnight. If you use this product on a regular basis then you need only use one tablet but if your toilet has a vast amount of limescale then you should use two tablets and leave overnight. After all, the toilet is one of the most used rooms in a house and needs to be sanitised on a regular basis. As well as using the Neutradol tablet weekly you should also clean the rest of your toilet daily – I always use bleach and still put some bleach into the bowl before going to bed. As I live in a hard water area limescale is a constant battle and the weekly Neutradol treatment is definitely keeping limescale at bay!
WARNING! ************ You must ensure that as soon as you have dropped the tablet into the water that you wash your hands immediately as this product can be irritating to the yes and skin.
You should also keep it out of the reach of children and pets. I always make sure that I take the empty wrapper and put in the kitchen bin straightaway (not in the bathroom bin because if one of my dogs picked it up in their mouth then they would be severely ill.
If the contents of the tablet do come into contact with your eyes or skin then immediately rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. The same procedure applies if part of the contents is swallowed.
You should never mix a toilet bowl cleaner with any other household or cleaning products because doing so can result in poisonous gases being released and cause very serious breathing problems. Your bathroom should have plenty of ventilation and you should leave the door open and use the exhaust fan, if you have one. Please not that on the day that I use this tablet then I never use the bleach.
You should also keep the tablets away from combustible material.
They are harmful to aquatic organisms and may well cause adverse long-term effects in the aquatic environment.
WHERE CAN I BUY IT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? ************************************************************** I always buy mine from Wilkinsons as I find that they sell most household cleaning products much cheaper than the supermarkets and they charge £1.89 for a box of 10 tablets so, in effect, it costs me 18p per week to keep my toilet free of limescale which I regard as really good value.
These tablets are made in England by:

Apparently, these tablets are safe for use with septic tanks.
JUST A BIT OF TOILET TRIVIA NEWS ***************************************** Did you know that:-
1. The Tower Thistle Hotel in London was the winner of the 1996-97 "Loo of the Year" award. The hotel's lavish lavatory decorated in charcoal grey, marble and walnut, with ginger jars, glass tables and comfortable seating won the ninth annual competition sponsored by the British Tourist Authority and two companies that promote hygienic public washrooms. 2. The Grand Prize in this contest went to Portsmouth Historic Dock Yard. The heritage shipyard was cited for excellence in providing facilities for disabled visitors and for parents with babies who can find highchairs, microwaves and bottle warmers in the loo.
So, there you go, you can spend a penny at these two places and know that your bum shouldn’t pick up any nasty bacteria!
