Toilet cleaning
- When it comes to toilet cleaning, our research* shows that 7 out of 10 people flush a clean toilet before squirting a cleaning liquid around the rim. Do you do this too? It’s better for the environment if you don’t – it’s a waste of water!
- Lysol® Toilet Bowl Cleaner is powerful enough that there is no need to pre-flush.
- We’ve calculated that if you flush the toilet unnecessarily before cleaning, it wastes on average 390 Gallons / 1482 Liters of water a year. Here’s our calculation:
- Each normal flush of a North American toilet uses up to 3.42 Gallons / 13 Liters of water
- Average of 2.2 toilets per home
- Average 1 deep clean per week
- Based on the above, that amounts to 114 unnecessary, wasted flushes per year!
