Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Professional LYSOL® Brand Toilet Bowl Cleaner
THICK Formula - EPA Reg. No. 777-81-675
Q: Can this product be used on stainless steel toilets and urinals?
A: Our label states the product is for use on vitreous china bowls and urinals. Since there are many different grades of stainless steel, the unit manufacturer would have to be consulted to determine if they recommend the use of a 9.5% hydrochloric acid bowl cleaner on their surfaces.
Q: Why did the product turn my chrome fixtures gray/black?
A: The product label clearly states that the product is for vitreous china only. The acid attacks the chrome plate causing the black color. It is not to be applied to the outside of the bowl or urinal where it can contact other type surfaces
Q: The product leaked out and stained my Formica® counter?
A: The acid content in the product will in many cases instantly remove the color from plastic laminates. Keep in mind, the label warns against using or placing on counter surfaces. With these types of surfaces there is typically no restorative means to restore the product color
Q: Does this product kill c. difficile (c dif)?
A: No. Clostridium difficile is a spore forming bacteria that can pose severe infection control problems in healthcare facilities. A spore forming bacteria can enter its spore state which is basically a protective shield that will allow an organism to survive extremes of heat and cold until growth conditions are again ideal. An infected patient can suffer severe gastrointestinal problems including diarrhea. Housekeeping procedures in a bathroom contaminated with the organism must include wearing proper personal protective equipment, thorough physical cleaning and the use of disinfectant cleaners.
