Why do people put bleach in toilets and not think about the environmental consequences?

Question

well you are not eating your dinner from the toilet and you are killing fish

i suggest elbow grease, there are always going to be germs in a toilet, they won't kill you just don't drink the water!

Answer 1

Many people just don't care. It's as simple as that. Of course, others just don't know any better.

Answer 2

Well, bleach is pretty good at killing germs. What cleaners would you suggest that would do as good of a job as bleach without the negative environmental consequences that you speak of?

Answer 3

By the time the sewage reaches the treatment plant or environment, all of the chlorine (bleach) will be long gone. No need to worry, and they're just going to add more if it does get to the sewage plant. Bleach in your toilet does NOTHING to the environment, there is no debate here.

Answer 4

because we dont really care when we want a clean house

last i checked the fish we eat are already dead at the store.

did you know hippys cause more polution in the world then the average person who uses bleach to clean toilets and other chemicals that you call unhealthy for the enviroment?

Answer 5

because it cleans the toilet! if you dont clean it it is gross. not to mention spreading germs. do you want your little sibbling or baby to get hurt? what about everyone else?

Answer 6

~to sanitize, and disinfect the toilet bowl. why is it any different than other cleaners? bleach is used in the laundry, and for other cleaning, so why should it be any different if its used in the loo?

Answer 7

They don't want us to share the "crotch critters"!
