This is a review of harpic powerplus toilet cleaner. I normally use various products to clean the loo depending whats on sale, and I've used harpic brands before in good faith, and saw this new bottle. 'Harpic Powerplus has been specially designed as the ultimate answer to tough toilet stain removal. Its unique power cleaning formula penetrates and dissolves even the toughest stains, right before your eyes. The thick gel covers and sticks to the toilet bowl -even right under the rim'. The ultimate toilet cleaner? i've been looking for a product like this!!
The bottle is a 750ml black plastic bottle with the usual bent neck for loo rims, and has yellow and red colours on the label. It cost £1.59 from sainsburys which i thought was quite expensive, but anyway i picked a bottle off the shelf and went home.

The bottle claims to remove the toughest stains, kill all germs, and eliminate limescale. Sounds good so far.
Using the bottle is simple enough, you just twist the child proof top off, and squeeze the thick blue liquid under the rim and around the bowl. The bottle says leave for 10 mins for stains, or 60 mins for killing all germs before brushing and flushing, though i just leave for 20 mins usually before find the bowl covered in the thick blue liquid, before flushing.

The loo is left sparkling, and trust that all germs have been sent packing. The only problem is the smell of the product, which can be very overpowering.
Anyway, this harpic powerplus does the job it states by killing germs and shifting limescale, but the smell does not make this the ultimate toilet cleaner. The search goes on...

Summary: not quite the ultimate loo cleaner as advertised
