Bleach \u2013 Super Thickened Toilet and Hard-Surface Cleaner
Description
Super thickened, chlorine-based liquid bleach in a 750ml bottle, designed for infection control and general-purpose disinfection of toilets, sinks, drains and hard surfaces. The thickened formulation provides increased contact time on vertical and inclined surfaces, helping to disinfect and remove unpleasant odours caused by organic waste.
Bnefits
Super thickened formulation for improved cling and longer contact time on surfaces such as toilet bowls and sinks
Chlorine-based bleach action for effective disinfection and odour control
Suitable for use in lavatories, outside drains and kitchen sinks
Can be diluted for cold bleaching and hard-surface disinfection tasks
Pleasantly perfumed compared with standard thin bleach
Intended for professional and institutional cleaning and infection-control applications
Indications
Disinfection and cleaning of toilets and urinals
Odour control and disinfection in outside drains and waste channels
Cleaning and sanitising kitchen sinks and waste disposal areas (non-food-contact surfaces unless rinsed thoroughly)
Cold bleaching of suitable white fabrics when correctly diluted
General hard-surface disinfection in washrooms and similar environments where chlorine bleach is appropriate
Composition
Sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine-based bleaching and disinfecting agent)
Sodium laureth sulfate or similar anionic surfactant (for wetting and cleaning action)
Sodium hydroxide (alkali used for pH control and product stability)
Water
Minor formulation aids, fragrance and stabilisers as per manufacturer’s specification
Strong chlorine (hypochlorite) odour or characteristic perfumed chlorine odour
Highly alkaline (approximate pH of undiluted product around 13)
Classified as an irritant / corrosive hazardous mixture under CLP depending on exact SDS revision
Packaging
750ml plastic bottle
Retail and professional case configurations typically supplied as 12 x 750ml bottles
Labelled according to UK/EU CLP hazard labelling requirements for hypochlorite-based bleach products
Usage
Toilet and lavatory cleaning (neat): Lift toilet seat, direct the super thickened bleach around the bowl and under the rim, ensuring full coverage of the surface. Leave in contact for at least 5 minutes, then brush and flush. Do not use simultaneously with acid cleaners.
Outside drains (neat): Pour an appropriate amount of undiluted product into the drain to disinfect and remove unpleasant odours. Allow contact time before flushing through with plenty of water.
Kitchen sinks (neat or diluted): Apply to waste outlets and surrounding non-metallic surfaces for odour control and disinfection. Rinse thoroughly with water after treatment and avoid prolonged contact with metals, particularly copper, nickel and iron.
Cold bleaching of suitable white fabrics (diluted): Dilute at approximately 1:100 with cold water in a suitable container. Submerge compatible white cotton or similar fabrics, keeping coloured or delicate items separate. Rinse thoroughly after bleaching. Always check garment care labels before use.
Disinfecting hard work surfaces (diluted): Prepare a dilute solution at approximately 1:50 with clean water. Apply to compatible hard, non-porous surfaces, allow a contact time of around 5 minutes for disinfection, then rinse with clean water. Avoid direct food-contact areas unless rinsed thoroughly.
General safety: Always wear suitable protective gloves and eye protection when handling the undiluted product or strong solutions. Ensure good ventilation during use. Do not mix with acids, ammonia-containing products or other household chemicals, as this can release toxic chlorine gas.
Environmental precautions: Prevent large quantities of the undiluted product from entering watercourses. Use the minimum effective amount for the task and dispose of solutions in accordance with local regulations.
Contraindications
Not for use on skin, hair or any part of the body; not a medical or dermatological product
Not suitable for use on wool, silk, leather, delicate fabrics or coloured textiles that are not bleach-safe
Avoid use on metals, especially copper, nickel and iron, due to risk of corrosion and staining
Do not mix with acidic products (e.g. descalers, toilet acids, vinegar-based cleaners) or ammonia-containing cleaners, as dangerous chlorine gas may be released
Not intended for use on natural stone surfaces such as marble or limestone, or on painted, varnished or sensitive surfaces that may be damaged by strong alkali or bleach
Do not ingest and keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs
Adverse Effects
Causes serious eye damage if splashed into the eyes
Causes skin irritation or chemical burns on prolonged or repeated contact with undiluted product
Inhalation of mists or chlorine vapours may cause respiratory irritation, coughing and breathing discomfort, especially in poorly ventilated areas
Ingestion may cause severe irritation or corrosion of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract, with risk of serious internal injury
Contact with acids or incompatible chemicals can liberate toxic chlorine gas, leading to respiratory distress and potentially severe health effects
Very toxic to aquatic organisms with long-lasting effects; harmful to the environment if released in quantity
Storage Conditions
Store in the original, tightly closed container in a cool, well-ventilated place
Protect from direct sunlight and sources of heat to limit decomposition of sodium hypochlorite
Keep away from acids, ammonia, reducing agents and incompatible materials
Store upright to prevent leakage
Keep out of reach of children and unauthorised users
Do not store in unlabelled or food/drink containers
Duration
Contact time for disinfection is typically a minimum of 5 minutes on hard surfaces and in toilets; duration of use otherwise depends on the specific cleaning task.
Onset
Begins to act within minutes of contact; disinfection and odour-control effects are generally achieved after approximately 5 minutes of recommended contact time.
