absorb bathroom odors in the way that certain activated-carbon products can, and it doesn’t provide the cleaning or disinfecting action of an appropriately formulated toilet cleaner.
If your toilet smells unpleasant even after cleaning, the smell may have a different source.
Possible causes include residue beneath the rim, buildup in hard-to-reach areas, a plumbing issue, or a problem with the toilet’s seal.
What Works Better?
For a fresher bathroom:
Clean the bowl and underside of the rim regularly.
Wipe down the toilet’s exterior and surrounding floor.
Keep the bathroom ventilated.
