2,000 Flushes Consistently Blue
06 May 2006 | By Ian in Misc
If you use an automatic toilet sanitizer such as 2,000 Flushes Blue or anything similar, you are probably familiar with the phenomenon of the sharp spike in blueness over the first week or two followed by a whimpering taper off into nothingness.
You can get a much longer lasting and more consistent experience out of your toilet tablets if you find yourself a low, wide plastic cup. Put the puck into the cup and carefully drop it into your tank, letting the cup sink to the bottom. Make sure not to touch the puck with your bare hands, though; it’s a bloody rock made of ultra-concentrated toilet cleaner.
You may have to adjust the cup’s position based on your tank’s flow pattern, but you should find that the cleaning lasts longer and stays more consistent over its lifetime.
This has to be the most random and off-topic thing I have blogged so far, but I’m sure at least one person out there will benefit from the tip.

You should submit this to Tricks of the Trade.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve sent it in.

Sorry, but this is unnecessary environmental pollution and only a sign of bad taste.

Tice, I’d advise not drinking from the toilet, no matter the flavor.
As for pollution, one can use a small puck that lasts four months with this method or a half liter bottle of cleaner that does the same thing.

Use “pumice stone” to clean
toilet bowl ring stains.
GENERALLY, not widely known by your
average person.
