6/6

In addition to in-tank tablets, click-gel automatic toilet cleaners are another hands-free option. We love the Lysol Click Gel Cleaner because it keeps your toilet hygienic and odor-free for up to two weeks per application. All you have to do is dispense one gel tablet to the side of the toilet bowl using the applicator. Like in-tank tablets, toilet bowl gels clean and freshen your toilet with every flush. Click gels also aren’t really a substitute for scrubbing and deep cleaning your toilet. However, they will cut down on the number of cleanings your toilet requires.

We love the Mango & Hibiscus scent that keeps your bathroom smelling super fresh for days on end. We also love that Lysol has a whole Mango & Hibiscus line of cleaning products, including a liquid toilet bowl cleaner, all-purpose cleaning spray, disinfectant wipes and sanitizing spray. That way, you can streamline the fresh, clean scent of your bathroom from toilet to shower to counter.

Pros

• Easy-to-use click applicator
• Cleans toilet bowl with each flush
• Keeps toilet cleaner longer
• Provides odor protection in between cleans
• Mango-hibiscus scent is pleasant and pairs with other mango-hibiscus Lysol cleaning products

Cons

• May not be good if you have pets that drink from the toilet
• Not a substitute for deep cleans

What to Consider When Buying Toilet Cleaner

When shopping for toilet cleaners, you’ll probably want to make sure you find one with germ-fighting properties. However, if using all-natural or bleach-free cleaning products are a priority to you, there are options out there—just be sure to check the ingredients label. Additionally, if you have pets (or kids) who occasionally make their way to the bathroom to play in toilet water, you may want to opt for a toilet cleaner that doesn’t linger in the bowl for days.
