The practical test

Price/performance ratio

The WC Active Foam Cleaner from the Reinhorn brand is a 3-in-1 cleaner for toilets.
This product ensures perfect cleaning right up to the rim of the toilet – when the powder is poured into the toilet with hot water, the long-lasting, stiff foam can develop particularly well and spreads right up to the rim of the toilet.
According to the seller, regular use can remove the slimy biofilm in hard-to-see areas of the toilet. If the cleaner is used repeatedly, a protective film with a lotus effect is created.
This product can be used to remove limescale, brownstone or urine scale.
In practical tests, the highly concentrated, colourless powder was convincing due to its strong effectiveness and lasting foam formation, which led to good cleaning .
Overall, it is a high-quality product in XXL format that can last up to 6 months.

Advantages

The WC Active Foam Cleaner was subjected to a thorough practical test.
It is easy to use: when hot water with the powder is poured into the toilet, a dense, solid foam is created that spreads throughout the toilet bowl.
It is noticeable that the foam is long-lasting .
With regard to the odour, it should be noted that the powder smells very intense, but not unpleasant.
To achieve the most effective cleaning results, it is advisable to leave the product on for a long time.
In practical tests, the foam cleaner was able to remove urine scale residues and even more stubborn limescale residues.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. In individual cases, there is criticism of insufficient foaming. On the other hand, the good effectiveness and ease of use are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cleaner is very effective. We were unable to substantiate the criticism levelled by consumers regarding the low foam formation.

Prices of up to €34.99 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €29.96 . The active toilet cleaner from Reinhorn is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €23.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
