Residue/shine, foam, disinfectancy, and surface safety tests are done as described in the section under all-purpose cleaning. Grease cleaning tests may also be performed with bathroom cleaners, as bathroom soils such as lipstick and bath oils have an oily component. The other nonperformance tests (eye irritancy, biodegradability, etc.) are also outlined in the section on all-purpose cleaners. 

Disinfection is also a benefit desired by consumers in toilet bowl cleaning. This can be achieved with quaternary ammonium surfactants, as in bathroom and allpurpose cleaners. Quats are effective bactericides at both low (1 to 4) and high (8 to 12) pH and so are compatible with very acidic toilet bowl cleaners. One of the problems with disinfection is knowing whether the product has been used at the proper dilution, and one toilet bowl cleaner formula gives the signal via a pH-dependent dye [375],... 

Household cleaners are generally used on every hard surface in the home except for dishes. In this chapter, the discussion concentrates on specialty cleaners that are formulated for specific cleaning problems, whereas all-purpose cleaners and their variants are covered in Chapter 2. This means that most of this chapter will be spent discussing cleaners used in the bathroom—such as soap scum cleaners, mildew removers, and toilet bowl cleaners. Additionally, there are cleaners that are used for extremely narrow use, such as oven and drain cleaners. Disinfectant cleaners as variants of all-purpose cleaning were covered in the previous chapter, but will also be covered here with the emphasis on the disinfectant action rather than on the cleaning function. 

In addition to the main objective of cleaning the surface, cleaners often have added benefits built in. Among these consumer desirable additions are maintenance or increase in surface shine, disinfection of surfaces, decreasing soil tenacity, and deodorization. Many of these are priorities in the bathroom, which contains many large shiny surfaces that are perceived to be germy (contaminated with germs) and covered with tough soils.
