Chlorine tablets to clean toilet??

[huskerfan]

Thanks for your reply, tried those and they just don't do the job that the Puricle tablets did. I truly never had to clean the inside of my toilet bowls using the Puricle ones. My luxury gift to myself is that I have cleaning ladies out once a month, and they always commented they wished everyone's toilets were as clean as mine. Never fails when you find something you like that works they eventually quit making it! Hope that never happens with bleach! Thanks again. Ohhhh- thanks for the tip on the urine and bleach, now I'll know if my pool starts smelling like chlorine/bleach that someone's doing something in there they shouldn't be, LOL!

Kaboom refills are readily available where we live, at the big box hardware stores, grocery stores, Bed Bath Beyond, Dollar-type stores. If you Google Kaboom you'll see that one of its ingredients is di-chloro-something. Whatever it is, when mixed with water it forms bleach and likely another oxidizer.

Thanks, before I order any Kaboom refills online - I wanted to see if anyone from the forum would know how the chlorine tablets for pools would work in this situation?? The Kabooms work ok- not nearly as good as the Puricle tablets they replaced, but better than anything else I can purchase that I've found. Just thought I'd check on the pool chlorine tablets idea first. Thanks!

"2000 Flushes" used to sell a chlorine version that didn't turn the water blue. Every 3-4 months it destroyed the flapper valve and the cistern would leak into the commode and then fill up again.

Seems to me that this was all discussed here on the forum a few years ago. Use the search feature in my signature and you might find some old threads that you could read.

Thank you - haven't lurked at the forum for quite a while so appreciate the reminder about searching . I think I'll pass to be safe and order more kaboom tablets online, thanks!

Is there a reason they're called KABOOM ?
