Are these impregnated with cleaning chemicals? The description says "heads disinfect your toilet bowl killing 99.9% of germs".

I really don't think so and if they are they wouldn't last but one time. Just an ordinary toilet brush in my opinion. Nothing is stated to that degree on cover.

I'm not a plumber, however I understand that slow-flushing toilets are generally related to mineral deposits, which this will not resolve. Also, when it arrived there was a sticky on the container indicating that it is not designed for home use.

"Killing germs" is one of those phrases that my grandma used..."antibacterial" is the term they use today...soap that is not antibacterial still kills germs...the point is to remove the filth that contains the contaminates and this does that really well. If you need "antibacterial" cleaning, you should use something like bleach. Its safer not to bleach everything as we need some bacteria in our lives. There really is such a thing as too clean...

After reading another review I want to state that these pads are NOT MEANT to be used to "clean" the toilet bowl. The toilet bowl should be cleaned with the proper cleaner before you use the Shaw Pad. These pads are meant to be used to remove the "hard water ring" only. You wouldn't use a pumice stone to clean the toilet bowl!! The same is true with these pads.

I'm no expert; however, I think you would have to bleach them and then apply sporicidin. I cleaned/bleached the inside of my toilet tank which was very molded when I bought this condo in 2004. After it was dry, I applied the sporicidin and let it dry overnight. I keep checking but have not seen mold yet

I believe they are. I've cleaned them before using desinfectant spray and water and it's still holding up. The seals seem air tight but you may want to ask the manufacturer (Bright Medic) directly to be sure.

You need to wash the left over formula out. That's all. I wash them then throw them into the bowl until I'm ready to sterilize them.

These have a solution that is ok to disinfect the pump parts and bottle with. Baby wipes are not for disinfecting.

The manufacturer claims it is septic safe right on the box. Our septic service says it is safe since the amount of chlorine/bromine that toilet tablets introduce into a septic cistern is minimal (toilet water is typically 10%-15% of the water put into a cistern, so it is strongly diluted). Finally, I have seen a scientific paper where they actually tested the effect that typical toilet tablets have on the bacteria in septic systems (chlorine type, bromine should be similar since it has a similar biological mechanism), and it was found that there was no discernible difference from the "control" systems (getting the exact same sewage).

If you're a dirty person I would say yes. I have both and I regularly wipe them down with a disinfectant.

I don't have a septic system, but if Chlorox is okay for you, then that is all this is. The wands are just the delivery system. You don't flush anything but the solution that ends up in the toilet bowl--just as if you were scouring with a typical toilet brush.

I have had o problems with these wipes at all. Mind you don't put a bunch down the toilet at one time. We are on city sewer.

There is no detergent involved. This is the refills only for the wand. The octagon photo on the front, those have the cleaner/disinfectant in them. If you do not have a wand or thecanister, you need to buy that also. These are awesome! The only way to clean a toilet. You don't have to touch anything...I think it is perfect. Good Luck!

I can say they appear to be. Be sure to properly sterilize before each use.

Good heavens no! They are organic sprouting seeds. Why would one want to contaminate them with a disinfecting solution?

I cannot say for sure, but I don't think so. I have had ours for quite a while and have used several cleaners on them. While I don't think any of them had bleach, I do use bleach cleaner for the toilet bowl and I know it has splashed on the seat, and it hasn't done any damage. So while I can't say 100%, I think bleach would probably be fine. Hope that helps. :)

Still need to wash them first with soap and water to remove debris. Then they should work as advertised against listed bacteria, viruses, and spores.
