Liquid Acid Bowl Cleaner

Similar to the technology used to produce cream cleansers, there are also formulas that can produce liquid toilet bowl cleaners with suspended abrasives [376,377]. The main difference between the cream cleansers and this type of product is that the suspending system should be acid stable instead of alkaline and/or bleach stable. Suspended particles are appearing in more and more of the toilet bowl cleaners. This has been commercialized in a gel form, which shows the suspended particles. 

Other hard surface applications rely on amphoteric surfactants to enhance viscosity in highly acidic or alkaline formulations. Some liquid toilet bowl cleaners, for instance, are formulated within a pH range of 2-4 (83). Amphoteric surfactants have been demonstrated to provide good gellation and stability in compounds containing peracetic acid (84). 

Liquid Acid Toilet Bowl Cleaners (Disinfectant) High Quality... 

In-bowl cleaners are used with mechanical cleaning by the consumer. These products are usually liquids, usually thickened in the range of 200-700 cP. The idea is that the product is dispensed up under the rim of the toilet and then runs down the bowl wall until it encounters the water. The package for the product often has a specially shaped bottle that enables placonent of the product under the rim (Figure 5.2). The product should be thick enough to cling to the vertical wall and yet not be so thick that the product does not spread well. It should also have a foam profile that collapses quickly so that the product rinses away well. As in the case of many bathroom cleaners, these also come in two types, the acid and the hypochlorite. 

Acid Cleaners are used with extreme caution. Bowl cleaners are generally acidic in nature, and are available in powder, preferred solid block or liquid form. The function of toilet cleaners is to remove effectively fecal soils, lime and rust deposits, and urinary calculus from commodes and urinals.
