Advantages: Smells and cleans wonderfully, cheap

Disadvantages: -----------

A couple of months ago my ten year old granddaughter had a very bad upset stomach while she was staying at my house, not to be too descriptive my toilet bowl looked and smelled absolutely awful by the time she left to go home. I hadn't any toilet cleaner in and on my way to the shop was cussing her for being such an awkward so-and-so who couldn't have waited until the following week when my cleaning cupboard had been replenished.

I don't have any real preference for toilet cleaner, really going for the cheapest effective cleaner I can find. This is how I ended up with the Jeyes Bloo Acticlean as it was on special offer at 79p for a 750ml bottle, I have used the Bloo cistern blocks for years and think they are great for cleaning and freshening the toilet so had confidence in this product.

The cleaner looks very nice in the bottle, if a toilet cleaner can ever be classed as looking nice, as it's a thick gel which has small granules of bicarbonate of soda suspended in it. When I gave the bottle a shake I liked the bubbles which floated up and down in the cleaner and also the way the bicarbonate of soda moved around in the liquid.

The bottle is shaped very much like any other toilet cleaner, it has the important child proof top and bent neck to enable me to carefully and accurately squeeze the cleaner around the rim of the toilet bowl.

The first time I used it I squeezed rather too much out and when I flushed the toilet it was filled with bubbles, my granddaughter had been so poorly though that it took more than one squirt to get my loo as spotless as I like it and this is certainly not the fault of Jeyes Bloo Acticlean! Luckily I had had the foresight to buy a toilet brush along with the toilet cleaner so the next squirt I allowed to settle for a few minutes before coming back to scrub it.

Did I say scrub? I meant, well, flush. That was honestly all it took to clean my toilet and bring it back to looking brand new again! After leaving the cleaner to work its magic on the mess I simply used a disposable cloth and wiped around the bowl and rim of the toilet and flushed again. Hey presto, a spotless and very fresh scented toilet. The thickness of the gel meant it clung well to the shiny surface of my toilet bowl and I could see it working on the stains that my granddaughter had left behind, after the first flush most of them had actually disappeared anyway and it was very, very light work to get rid of any specks that remained.

I have the green Jeyes Bloo Acticlean which is pine scented, I'm not usually a big fan of pine smells as I find they can easily become sickly and overpowering but Jeyes have got this one spot on as far as strength of fragrance goes. It scents the immediate area around my toilet and makes it smell fresh and clean without taking over the fragrance of my bathroom air freshener as a lot of loo cleaners do, recently I bought one from Poundland which was so strongly scented that I actually had to open my bedroom window that night because the smell was making me feel rather wheezy.

I shall certainly continue to buy this product, for 79p it takes an awful lot of work out of cleaning my toilet and smells really nice! Plus if it can deal with the results of my granddaughter's nasty stomach complaint so easily then I'm definitely not complaining!

Summary: An excellent toilet cleaner from Jeyes.
