FAQ: Automatic Toilet Cleaner by Ehousent
Short, clean answers to the most common questions about how the system works, installation, safety, and daily use.
About Automatic Toilet Cleaners
Do automatic toilet bowl cleaners really work?
Yes. Automatic toilet cleaners release a small amount of cleaning solution into the water with every flush. This prevents buildup, reduces stains, and helps keep the bowl fresh without scrubbing. Ehousent works inside the tank, so the process is continuous and completely hands-free.
Is there an automatic toilet bowl cleaner that works without damage?
Yes. Some in-tank products can damage rubber valves. Ehousent uses a pH-balanced formula (pH ~8) and controlled dosing, making it safer than traditional drop-in tablets.
How Ehousent Works
How do automatic toilet bowl cleaners work?
They sit inside the toilet tank and dose a controlled amount of cleaner during each flush. Water distributes it around the bowl, preventing rings, stains, and odors.
How does the Ehousent system work?
- A holder attaches inside the tank.
- A refill cartridge clicks into place.
- Each flush activates a small dose of the formula.
- One cartridge lasts up to 800 flushes.
How do I install it?
Open the tank → place the holder → insert the refill → close the lid. No tools required.
How long does one refill last?
1 person: ~2–3 months
2–3 people: ~6–8 weeks
4 people: ~4–6 weeks
2–3 people: ~6–8 weeks
4 people: ~4–6 weeks

Do’s and Don’ts
What should you never flush down a toilet?
For plumbing safety (and to maintain the system’s lifespan), do NOT flush:
- Wipes (even “flushable” ones)
- Fats and oils
- Hygiene products
- Paper towels
- Kitty litter
Self-Cleaning Toilets
Do self-cleaning toilets really work?
Yes, but they use a completely different mechanism—electrical sprayers and ceramic coatings. Ehousent is a simple, non-electronic solution for standard toilets.
What are the disadvantages of self-cleaning toilets?
High cost, complicated installation, and expensive maintenance.
Do plumbers recommend dual-flush toilets?
Dual-flush toilets reduce water usage, but they do not clean the bowl. Ehousent works with both single- and dual-flush systems.
