Lysol Cling Gel Toilet Bowl Cleaner Review

 Lysol Cling Gel--this isn't the little snap on disk that you attach to the toilet bowl.  This is a liquid gel for cleaning the toilets.  It comes in a 24 fl oz bottle and I got it on sale at Walmart for $2.  I wasn't even planning on buying a toilet cleaner but when I saw the display and the scent (Country Scent) I thought I would try it.  I have used it twice and it gets the job done.

The gel squirts out easily and is very thick and then runs down the bowl.  It has a gooseneck so it makes it easy to apply under the rim.  The instructions recommend you let it sit in the bowl for approximately 15 minutes--no problem, I just move on to some other chores while that soaks in.  It has a wonderful aroma.  You walk into the bathroom and it smells nice and fresh, like you have been burning a candle.

On the bottle you will find the following perks:

• Cleans and deodorizes even under the rim.
• Thick liquid formula sticks to the bowl for better cleaning.
• Leaves a fresh, clean scent (hmm...I just said that!)
• Will not harm plumbing or septic tanks.  (That's a good thing because I have both a well and septic tank!) 

The bottle also says it contains quarternium ammonium compounds.  I have no idea what those are so I'm wondering: "Is that a good thing or should I be cautious?"  Perhaps that is why it also says not to mix with chlorine bleach or other household products.  Too late for that warning.  I used the Clorox Bathroom Cleaner with Teflon right after I used the Lysol product.  Well, I didn't have an explosion in my house so I guess it was okay!

Reason for using 2 cleaning products.  The Lysol Cling Gel did a wonderful job in the guest bath.  That bathroom hardly ever gets used so it's easy maintenance.  On the other hand, my bathroom gets a lot of traffic.  In my area we get a lot of silt in our water (thus, the need for a water purification system).  Anyway, sometimes the silt will produce a reddish-orange water line in the toilet bowl.  The Lysol thoroughly cleaned the bowl but there was still a hint of the water line.  So, I applied the Clorox with Teflon and the line is gone.

I will continue using both products.  I'll keep the Lysol in the guest bath and the Clorox in mine.

A downside to the Lysol Cling Gel: The bottle is a little difficult to open.  I guess it's a child safety issue but when you have Lupus, as I do, sometimes you can't manipulate lids, "squeeze and twist" caps or "push and turn" caps as easily as others.  The first time I used it I didn't think I was ever going to get the bottle open!
