Toilet - 4 tablets, soaking for 20 minutes

Porcelain sink - 2 tablets, soaking for 20 minutes

Sink of dirty dishes - 5 tablets and soak for 1 hour

Small vases where it is hard to reach inside the neck of the vase - 2 tablets with the vase half filled with water, rinse after tablets completely dissolve

may be more expensive, but safer for septic system
by: Christine

Those that have septic systems have to be careful of the cleaners they use. If the cleaner is too harsh, like toilet cleaner and even bleach, it kills the necessary organisms in the septic tank and then you risk back ups into the house.

more expensive to use it this way
by: Shanna

Sorry, but cleaning toilets w/ 4 A.S. tablets at a time is waaaaay more expensive than just using a few squirts from a bottle of liquid toilet bowl cleaner, which works very well, btw!
