Overview

A thick hydrochloric acid liquid does the work in this Lysol Professional bowl cleaner. It clings to the bowl surface for longer contact, dissolving stubborn stains on contact while it disinfects and deodorizes the whole bowl.

Acid chemistry dissolves stubborn stains on contact, and the same pass disinfects and deodorizes. The listing says little else: no scent, no contact time and no directions, so plan to read the label.

Who it's for

Bowls with built-up stains in shared or heavily used bathrooms. Households that prefer acid-free products, or that want an automatic tank tablet, should look at a different cleaner.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Acid formula dissolves stubborn stains
  • Clinging liquid extends contact time
  • Kills a named range of germs
  • Deodorizes as it cleans
Cons
  • Directions and contact time not listed
  • Strong acid, not a gentle cleaner
  • Disinfects hard nonporous surfaces only

Performance notes

Hydrochloric acid dissolves stain deposits on contact, and the thick liquid slows runoff so more of it stays on the stained area. Germ kill claims apply on hard nonporous surfaces when the label directions are followed. Brushing and flushing timing comes from the label, not this listing.

Frequently asked questions

How much cleaner is in the Lysol Professional 74278 bottle?

The title lists a 32 oz bottle. The bullets do not restate the size or say how many cleanings it covers.

Is Lysol Professional 74278 a drop-in tank tablet?

No. It is a liquid applied to the bowl, where it clings to stains and the bowl surface. Nothing in the listing supports placing it in the tank.

Does the Lysol Professional toilet cleaner have a scent?

The listing says it deodorizes but does not name a scent.
