A budget-friendly toilet cleaner, priced at just £2, has been receiving acclaim from shoppers for effectively tackling stubborn limescale common in hard-water regions - and with little scrubbing required. Limescale can leave unsightly dark marks around the toilet bowl, generate unpleasant smells, and if neglected, lead to more serious problems over time.
Many customers reviewing the Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner Original report that it works best when left to sit, making it an attractive option for those seeking an easy solution against tough stains. Currently reduced to £1.75 on Ocado, the cleaner has earned a solid collection of four- and five-star ratings.
The product description highlights that the formula is designed to quickly remove limescale, tough stains, and rust. Instructions advise leaving the product for 10 minutes before brushing and flushing for optimal cleaning, and for disinfection purposes, to leave it for 60 minutes before brushing and flushing.

One customer praised it as “perfect” for their persistent limescale problem: “Honestly the only thing that removed the limescale from our old inherited toilet! We tried everything and this finally removed it all without any hard work. For the first treatment we flushed the water out and left it overnight but since then just regular cleaning has kept it perfect.”
Another said: “I’ve been struggling with hard water that decayed my toilet pan. I tried bleach, white vinegar and baking soda but nothing worked. My sister, a cleaner, recommended this. I left it for one hour and when I came back, it was absolutely spotless - the toilet looks brand new. I highly recommend this product; it has become a permanent staple in my home.”
Additional feedback emphasised its effectiveness: “We kept getting limescale deposits because of hard water. This is brilliant at sorting that out. All stains gone. Clean and lovely. I’ve used this for several years as needed, otherwise a normal strength cleaner from the same brand. Thoroughly recommend.”
For those seeking natural alternatives, Ocado also offers a £3 Delphis Eco Toilet Cleaner. A user commented: “Does the job of a chemical product, but without any nasties. Great value for a natural product - will definitely repurchase.” Another shared: “Excellent cleaner with a nice smell. Very good eco product.”
