Is It Safe to use Blue Tablets in my Toilet Tank?

Blue toilet tablets can not only cause corrosion to parts inside of the tank, but they're also crafted with chemicals.

Believe it or not, one of the most important pieces of your toilet is the flush valve. Living up to its name, this part will help move H2O into your toilet. However, if you tend to use blue cleaning tablets, the harsh chemicals that are packed within have the possibility to corrode your toilet's flush valve (as well as other internal parts) or get stuck inside of it. This will, indeed, make it impossible to flush your "throne" and may cause a potential plumbing disaster if not repaired in a timely manner.

When it’s time to clean your bathroom, typically you’ll open the windows (if there are any) or turn on the exhaust fan to help rid of any potentially harmful chemicals that may be emitted from your cleaning products. However, when you opt to use a toilet tank tablet, this blue “disc” has a chance of emitting chemicals non-stop — which can be harmful to you, as well as the environment.

Additionally, if you have a dog or cat that likes to drink from the toilet (despite telling them not to), consuming this chemically-treated water may take a toll on their well-being if consumed in excess.

The best way to keep your toilet clean is to consider using green cleaning agents that will not only maintain a glowing, sanitized “throne," but will also save your plumbing over time.
