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.

Spout sucks
Pros
Ecological.
Cons
The bottle cap was stuck to the bottle dispensing spout. Had to remove the whole dispensing spout in order to use it. Thus, wasted heaps of product with each squirt. Didn't much like the smell either.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
