Key Features and Benefits (for each 600ml bottle):
10x More Yellow Stain Removal: Harpic Power Plus is specifically formulated for superior cleaning, claiming to be 10 times better at removing tough yellow stains, mineral deposits, and limescale buildup compared to ordinary detergents.
Kills 99.9% of Germs: This is a crucial disinfecting property. It effectively kills 99.9% of disease-causing germs and bacteria on contact (typically within 5 minutes when used undiluted), ensuring a highly hygienic and safe toilet environment.
Thick Liquid Formula that Clings: The cleaner has a thick, viscous consistency that allows it to cling to the toilet bowl surface, from the rim to the U-bend. This extended contact time ensures a more thorough and effective clean, allowing the active ingredients to work on stains and germs.
Strategically Bent Bottleneck Shape: The iconic bent neck of the Harpic bottle allows for easy and precise application of the liquid into hard-to-reach areas, including under the toilet rim, where germs and stains often accumulate.
Fights Odour and Leaves a Fresh Toilet: Beyond cleaning and disinfecting, it helps to neutralize and eliminate unpleasant malodours, leaving the toilet smelling clean and fresh after every use.
Superior to Ordinary Cleaners: Harpic positions itself as a more effective and comprehensive solution than using individual cleaners like detergent powder, bleach, phenyl, or strong acids, by combining their benefits.
Safe for All Toilets: It is safe for use on both Western-style and Indian-style toilets and is compatible with septic tank systems.
Benefits of the "Pack of 3" Offering:
Economical Value: Buying in a pack of three typically offers significant cost savings compared to purchasing individual bottles. This provides better value for money for regular users.
Convenience: A multi-pack ensures you have a ready supply of toilet cleaner on hand, reducing the frequency of grocery runs and ensuring you never run out unexpectedly.
Bulk Purchase: Ideal for households that use toilet cleaner frequently or for stocking up.
Key Ingredients (Typical):
Hydrochloric Acid (typically 10.5% W/V): The primary active ingredient for dissolving stains, limescale, and mineral deposits.
Hydroxy Ethyl Oleylamine: A surfactant that aids in cleaning.
Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride: A surfactant with some antimicrobial properties.
Other ingredients include thickeners, colorants, and water.
How to Use:
Open: Press the sides of the child-proof cap and twist to open.
Apply: Squeeze the liquid around the toilet bowl and under the rim.
Wait: Allow the liquid to work for at least 20 minutes (for heavy stains or thorough disinfection, you can leave it longer).
Brush & Flush: Lightly brush the bowl and then flush thoroughly.
Important Precautions:
DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH OR ANY OTHER CLEANERS: This can release dangerous gases.
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use gloves if sensitive. In case of contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water and seek medical advice.
