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 sponge attached to a mechanical arm.
To assess cleanliness we measure the reflectance of the tile before applying the stain and again after cleaning. Each product is tested three times, with the results averaged for a final score.

Very Good on several counts
Pros
It cleans well and smells good and is a NZ product. In an earlier Consumer Survey I recall it being high up on the list and that's why I switched. I'm surprised to see it so low down the list on this new survey.
