Toilet bombs…pressure sensors…whatever he call the things!

I call them automatic toilet bowl cleaners. Luke calls them pressure sensor toilet bombs. Whatever they are....I have LOTS of them!!

Several weeks ago, I bought this Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Automatic toilet bowl cleaner. It was an excellent sale, so I bought four boxes. I was out of toilet bowl cleaner and needed some anyway. I installed it the next day. It's a metal can that sits on the floor behind the toilet with a little foot petal. Then a cord runs to the thing that sits inside the rim of the toilet. Press on the foot petal and the cleaning fluid runs up the cord and sprays into the toilet to clean it. Works rather well!

I installed it in one of our three bathrooms and a couple days later Luke comes into the kitchen and asks me, "So....what is the pressure sensor doing in the bathroom???" At first, I looked at him like what in the world are you talking about??? Then it dawned on me!! The toilet bowl cleaner!! And I started laughing! And laughing! And laughing some more!

Then he said, "So it's triggered to go off if you're in there too long?" And I started laughing some more and managed to get out a "yes" among all that laughing! Oh my! It was hilarious!

Fast forward about a month. Luke was shopping at Walmart with me and as we passed the Scrubbing Bubbles section, I mentioned that those same kits were going to be free next week and then I would buy some more. And he responded with, "More of those pressure sensor toilet bombs?" I just about died laughing right then and there in the cleaning asile. Little did he realize just HOW many I was planning to buy. ;)

Next week came. And when Luke came home from work Monday afternoon, there were 14 new boxes sitting in the kitchen (I had yet to "hide" them downstairs!). You can imagine the look on his face as he said, "That many of those things?"

And now? Every Monday morning as I'm cleaning the bathrooms, I can't help but smile when I see that "pressure sensor toilet bomb". And there will be PLENTY of Monday mornings with those sitting in my bathroom in the future!

Just remember not to panic when you come to my house and visit my bathroom and spot that "bomb" hiding behind the toilet! It's nothing to worry about. Really. :)

Oh.....one more thing. Just in case you're in doubt as how to install and use the thing, there's a youtube video here explaining just how it works. Honestly? It requires a youtube how-to video? It seems as though there's a youtube video for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!
