    Non-Bleach Alternative to Clorox Auto TB Cleaner Tablets

    Title of Your Idea:
    Non-Bleach Alternative to Clorox Auto TB Cleaner Tablets
    What's Your Idea?:

    While Clorox Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets (Original) do a great job of keeping the toilet bowl as well as the toilet tank water super clean, the bleach is so caustic that the rubber flapper in the tank deteriorates badly.  So much so that the flapper has to be replaced yearly.

    Why not make a Clorox 2- or Greenworks-type alternative tablet that can be dropped in the tank that does as good or almost as good a job for a shorter period of time.  While it is fairly easy to keep the bowl clean without the tablet, that is not the case with the tank water.  We have a top-of-the-line Toto toilet that is six years old, and over time, even with regular cleaning of the bowl, the tank water turns brown.  This also is true for an older toilet by a different, unknown manufacturer.  Our plumber informed us that the use of the drop-in tablets with bleach voided the warranty on the Toto toilet.

    Hope you consider my suggestion.  Thank you.

      Thank you for a wonderful suggestion.  Have you used any clip on tablet instead of tablet thrown into tank?  Or what do you think of one time use flushable pod?  These are all alternative ideas suggested by other members.  Thank you for your feedback.

        I have never seen clip-on tablets for the tank.  Do they contain chlorine bleach?  Who makes them, and where are they sold?  I have used clip-on tablets for the bowl.  They don't do that great a job, and the fragrances are overpowering - they smell like cheap flowery perfume, and they can be smelled from all the rooms near each bathroom.  I am not familiar with one-time use flushable pods - not sure how they would clean the tank.

        Thank you.  Looking forward to your response.
