BlooIn Cistern Original, 2 x 38g

This lasts a very long time

I've always liked these cistern blocks, they help to keep the toilet clean so there's no for any major fuss scrubbing when it comes to cleaning the toilet.I like that they turn your toilet water in the bowl blue, it can cover up a few sins, especially as I live with my teenage son who doesn't flush the loo no matter how many times he's asked!I'm lucky I don't live in a hard water area though so limescale doesn’t get built up under the toilet water.To be honest I'm unsure if they have a scent as I've been using them for over 25 years, if they are scented I've gone nose blind to them.TOP TIP:I remember putting the block in the wrong side when I first started using them when I was 16. Advise for anyone who hasn't used these types of blocks before:Prior to using, fill up a 2 litre bottle with tap water, flush the toilet emptying the cistern, before it fills up again put the bottle in the opposite side to your stopcock. (This will save you money on your water bill over time as it doesn’t take as much water to fill your cistern everytime you flush. I've been doing this for years & my water bill is on a metre & is still only £12 a month). Once your cistern is full again, look for a clear area to allow the block to sink to the bottom, ensure you put it in the same side as your bottle & gently put your cistern block in, avoiding any splashback in the face. 🚽🤮

I have recently been trying to use up a large bag of organic lentils and as a result the toilet has had a lot of cope with. So I got the two pack of these put one in the water tank. I'll be honest the water is blue and you get a little bit of foam after a flush so you know it's working but I can still see a little bit of a lime scale at the water line. I know this isn't supposed to remove lime scale but I would have thought it would stop buildup starting from a clean bowl. Next time I'm going to try the bloo max ones they seem to last twice as long and look bigger. Failing that I'm throwing the lentils out and going back to a manly diet.

Lovely whilst they last. Colour is good and a decent scent but mine are only lasting 2-3 weeks top. I know they said they should last around 8 weeks but this isn't the case for me. I do live in a busy household with 2 kids (who poo at least 4 days a day each) so this probably doesn't help. They're cheap enough so I will probably buy them again to be honest.
