Ecover Toilet Cleaner is an ecologically sound and extremely effective toilet cleaner, with no fumes to cause problems for the sensitive.

The cleaner comes in a 750ml plastic bottle, which is entirely recyclable and made from recycled materials. Once it is empty, the bottle can be put out with the rest of the recycling. The cleaner itself is a thick translucent liquid. The standard cleaner warnings apply: avoid skin and eye contact, and don't ingest.

To use it, you simply pour it into the toilet and scrub with your toilet brush. This is more work than most cleaners, but it has excellent effects - even beginning to remove the limescale buildup that other cleaners had been unable to touch. However this also means the toilet is useable immediately after cleaning, instead of leaving it to work. This is an advantage in a house with one toilet, or children or pets who have to be kept clear. Once you have finished scrubbing, flush a few times to clear the residue. If you need to, it can also be used under the toilet rim as well as in the bowl.

We switched to Ecover because the fumes from most "Drop it in and leave it" cleaners were causing respiratory problems for the cats, even with all the windows open. Ecover solved this issue immediately. It has a pleasant subtle scent, rather than a chemical one, and isn't intrusive. If you don't like it, the scent clears quickly with the windows open.

As with all Ecover products, the focus is on a good product which is enviromentally friendly. This cleaner is entirely plant-based and instead of chlorine and petro-chemicals, one of the active ingredients is very concentrated citric acid. This means it breaks down very quickly and so is safe to use with sceptic tank systems.

I've been delighted with this product. It's not just good for the environment, it's made cleaning days much easy and simpler, and it doesn't stink the house up. I would highly recommend it.
