Use products only for their labelled purpose
Read the full label, including intended use, warnings, directions and disposal. Do not assume that a product is suitable for a toilet, plumbing or bathroom surface because it contains an ingredient that also appears in another product.
Do not combine products
The NSW Poisons Information Centre's cleaning-product guidance says cleaning products can be harmful if inhaled, touched or swallowed and advises not to mix chemicals.
Use a product only for its labelled purpose and do not add another cleaner unless the exact directions allow it; contact the poison-information service for your location if exposure occurs.
Check the toilet and product-maker directions
Toilet bowls, seals and plumbing can differ. Follow the toilet maker's care instructions and use a cleaner whose label identifies the intended surface and task. This article does not state that hair bleach disinfects, removes stains or is safe for plumbing.
If exposure occurs, use current poison guidance
Keep the product container available and contact the poison-information service for your location for advice about the exact product and exposure. Use emergency services for a medical emergency; this article does not provide first-aid instructions.
