clorox is just bleach based and its expensive in sg. waste money buying the brand. Otherwise would be viable option.

Anyway normal bleach is quite overpowering the fumes especially if your toilet is not well ventilated. This domestos the bleach fumes is milder. 

I bought it in Msia on my recent trips.

It takes less effort to clean toilet bowl.

As you said, bleach smell is really overpowering.

You might also consider this, I bought from SS at $2.10 per twin pack, which work out to $1.05 per bottle. This is almost identical to Mr muscle, but at a function of its price. Works fantasy on toilet bowls, cheap and good. But dont bother buying from internet, stupid prices there.  

 

I also bought this hand wash a $1 a bottle at value shop during clearance sales last year, add 50-50 with vinegar in a spray bottle, cleans like magic. your shower screen will clean like new.  

i will go take a look. But some products don't put their contents on the label. Those i avoid buying. Like some malaysian cleaning products don't have constituent labels one.

Oh you are right about the label, this one has no label, though it is made in SG.  Maybe its just bleach in disguise.

good for kiling mould. or algae. like those on kitchen towels etc. on those silicone sealing strips for food containers etc also. 

bleach is the best mould killer.

I use Magic clean stain and mould remover. Last time i used to buy those 1L bottle bleach to pour into toilet bowl when washing, but after a while cannot stand the strong bleach smell and so stop using liao.

For food containers and gaskets, best to soak in water with chlorine remover (the aquarium type) before use. I buy cheap RM6 a small bottle ones in Malaysia.

 

Or spray with diluted hydrogen peroxide

Bleach is very powerful, it kills all kinds of microbes. However, it is also quite corrosive.

Just watch what it's used on or drain through. It will corrode metal. But pvc and most plastics are immune.

Also depending on the concentration, max is 5%. Some bleach are cheaper, bcuz, it's less concentrated, and the label don't tell you.

Oh last year, one of my Mr Muscle mold removal spray bottle i dropped the bottle while cleaning my toilet. Ended up part of the bottle cracked. I didn't have a unused replacement spray bottle, so i stored it into a mineral water bottle.

Left it in my toilet cabinet with my other cleaning stuff. Earlier this week, found that the cabinet floor was filled with all dried crusted soapy crystals. The mineral water bottle had corroded away and leaked out. 😄

Lucky no major water damage to my wooden cabinet.

Migration officer asked “What the reason for your application?”

”I got a dirty toilet bowl at hone..”

”i dunno but i am advised by an undertaker and i dare not question him”

I used bleach to clean my old aircon FCU. It was a big mistake.

One day I found the remote control does not work. I changed batteries, found another remote controller, all didn't work. Finally, I took out the FCU remote control pcb and saw the copper wiring was disintegrated. The only thing that could do that was the bleach I've been using.

So I'm very careful with using bleach (sodium hypochlorite) now. Anything at ground level and below is ok to use. Anything above ground, you have to be careful. 😄

Today my 6yrs old washing machine broke down. I thought is gone for good, until I do a quick search and found that it is due to drain pump filter clogging. Did not know need to clean the filter every few months.
