~Bloo Acticlean~ Bloo Acticlean is a range of cistern blocks for your toilet. They are available in different colours/scents but I will be discussing the 'Fresh Pink' blocks. These cistern blocks should be placed in your cistern at the opposite end from the water inlet and left to settle for 10 minutes. Once the toilet is flushed, the cleaning agents will leave your toilet sparkling and prevent a build up of limescale from forming. A foamy substance should be evident on the surface of the water and there is a promise of pink, floral scented water. The blocks are presented in a pink, cardboard backed pack and should be stored away from ...  Read the complete review

I'm not one to enjoy housework, but I do like the house and particulary the bathroom to both look clean and smell clean. As well as cleaning under the rim of the toilet, I also always have a cistern block to keep the toilet clean, and to reduce toilet cleaning as much as possible. I have been doing this since we got married and had our own house, however up until recently, I had always bought the Tesco won cistern blocks, for the sheer reason that they were so much cheaper than the likes of the Bloo range, which are almost a £1 dearer for a pack of 2, and with three bathrooms in the house, we go through them pretty quickly. It wasn't until one day when I ...  Read the complete review

I am not a great fan of putting products like this in the cistern, but my wife always seem to sneak a packet into the trolley. Interestingly, she seldom uses it in the house when we are by ourselves; it tends to make an appearance when we have visitors. I don't pretend to understand women and I don't really want to bring the freshness of the ocean to my bathroom, which is the risible claim of the manufacturer. In the division of tasks in the house, I get the weekly cleaning of all the toilets in the house and I would much rather do this without there being blue (or should I say Bloo) water in the toilet bowl. Bloo isn't a very natural colour - it certainly ...  Read the complete review

To be honest I was actually quite annoyed when I realised I had bought this product, as I had mistakenly picked it up instead of the rim block re-fill pack. They look very similar and I was in a rush so didn't pay too much attention to the packaging. These cistern blocks are available from most good supermarkets and cost me £1.62 for a pack of two from Tescos. The Bloo Acticlean cistern blocks are an innovative product that are designed to keep your toilet clean and fresh every time it gets flushed. Instead of having a block attached to the rim of the toilet bowl you simply pop one of these blocks inside your cistern and let it do its thing. To me, this seems ...  Read the complete review

Ever since decorating my bathroom orange, I have been struggling to find a toilet block to match the bathroom. I know this is highly irregular and people (including my husband) think I'm strange, but I like things to match, so when I had a green bathroom and the toilet block was green, it felt like all was right with the world! I couldn't have an orange bathroom and blue or green toilet water, it just wouldn't be right. However, an orange toilet block does not exist (much to my annoyance) and so I have gone for the citrus option of the above product, as it does not dye the water any colour but still cleans. The blocks cost £1.75 for 2 and I would ...  Read the complete review
