PeterW 1,983 Posted February 9 Ecover products are supposed to be tank safe - check them carefully in the shop though as I think one of them is only use sparingly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This stuff is a bit cheaper - but still expensive compared to beach. We're hoping to use it, and Ecover as @PeterW suggests. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newhome 1,607 Posted February 9 The Method products are good but maybe a bit more expensive than Ecover https://methodproducts.co.uk/products/toilet-cleaner/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simplysimon 113 Posted February 10 someone did a test with bleach versus water and there was very little difference after the flush, give it a good clean and it'll be fine, save the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, glad I don’t drink it then 😱, does it do a treatment plant any harm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSHarris 3,003 Posted February 10 The main active ingredient is phosphoric acid. It's very unlikely to do any harm to the treatment plant, mainly as the concentration would be pretty low. Phosphoric acid is also the stuff used to convert ferric oxide into ferric phosphate, the black anti-corrosion coating seen on things like guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
