Years ago I bought a bottle of sulfuric acid from a hardware store with

Many toilet bowl cleaners use hydrochloric acid as a main ingredient,
since sulfuric acid is similar stuff, can I use it as a toilet bowl
cleaner?
Some toilet bowl cleaners are (were) sodium bisulfate (Vanish for
example). Sodium bisulfate is a powder which when mixed with water
forms sulfuric acid.
I wouldn't mix methods. I think sulfuric acid and chlorine products can
result in poisonous gas.
