About Shakti
Shakti is a heavy-duty liquid toilet cleaner with a gel formulation designed to cling to the pan rather than run straight off, which Square Toiletries markets as the first choice of professional cleaners and for heavily used toilets. It is the sort of product that reveals what a home-care portfolio is really for: the cleaning jobs nobody markets aspirationally, sold on whether the formulation holds where it is poured.
