How we test
Overall score is determined solely by cleaning performance. We stain white tiles with a NASA formulation of simulated faeces. We then apply toilet cleaner to the tile and scrub it with a mechanical arm.
We measure the reflectance of the tile before we apply the stain and again after cleaning. Each product is tested three times, with the results averaged for a final score.

Seems to encourage stains
Pros
Bowl looks really clean immediately after cleaning
Cons
Within a day or two stains appear which seem to be caused by the cleaner as this did not used to happen with previous cleaners. They are easily removed, but not what I want from a toilet cleaner.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
