Toilet Coating

It helps keep the bowl cleaner but not clean. You have to reapply it frequently and even then there often will be spots remaining after flushing. I wouldn't buy this even if the price were reduced 90%. At more than $36 it's definitely a waste of money.

Finally, a product that does what it says it will. I have had a problem with hard water scaling the toilet and making it hard to keep clean. After my first time using it, the toilet has stayed clean. It's a little pricey but so worth it to keep the toilet clean, especially the one that guests use when they visit.

I think Wirecutter did a real disservice for consumers everywhere by recommending this product like it does. It does not perform as advertised and only does a mediocre job of keeping a bowl more clean than it would be on its own. Definitely not worth the price. Should be $10 a can, not $40 or even $25. Two and a half stars.

Like some other reviewers, I think this product helps but does not totally solve the problem with the smaller toilets and their reduced flush rate. It does help to a certain extent, although the directions need to be followed explicitly, especially draining the bowl and drying it with paper towel before spraying, then allowing it to dry. It also needs to be re-applied monthly because it does wear away over time. It also isn't inexpensive. I found it worthwhile while others might not. Bottom line: DON'T BUY THOSE STUPID LITTLE TOILETS IN THE FIRST PLACE! And if you fired a rocket, it's still gonna stick!

This actually works but it’s a pain to apply and the spray bottle is terrible. The surface has to be dry to apply it. Who wants to wait for the toilet bowl walls to dry? Or try to use a paper towel to dry them without getting the towel wet in the toilet water? Then the spray bottle is clunky and hard to squeeze at the weird angles you need to coat the bowl. The sprayer mechanism stopped working before the bottle was half empty. What a waste.

First, this stuff has a strong perfumy smell that lingers for days. If you are at all sensitive to smells, it’s bad. We couldn’t tolerate it. We also saw little to no improvement in the cleanliness of the toilet bowl. But even if it worked perfectly, it wouldn’t be worth the smell for us. Obviously, some chemicals just have an intrinsic smell, but I wish manufacturers would just start with unscented products and only add scents as optional variants.

According to the municipal water company, an orange stain at the waterline in our main bathroom toilet is caused by a harmless bacterium named Serratia Marcescens. The basement bathroom toilet, on the other hand, gets a black ring at the waterline due to infrequency of use. Both toilets show these colored "stains" at the waterline just a week after cleaning. I followed the directions for this toilet coating, cleaning toilets so they were spotless, then flushed and used the toilet brushes to push as much water out as possible. I let the surface of the bowl above the water dry completely and used paper towels to ensure it was very dry. Then I applied the toilet coating as directed. Image 1 is the main toilet after 3 weeks - no hint of the orange stain! And image 2 is the basement toilet after 3 weeks - no black line developing at the waterline. This is a pricey product but nothing else I know of inhibits or prevents the appearance of the waterline "stains." I will buy again and have already told several friends about how well it works.

I followed the instructions on the packaging and applied the product a second time after it did not work the first time. The toilet bowl is completely dry and no water is present when I apply the product, but it does not work. There are still poop streaks on the ceramic after flushing, and even several flushes do not work. I have to use a toilet brush to remove the poop streaks. Unfortunately, I was on vacation after I applied the product and missed the return window, otherwise I would have sent the product back. I spare you the photos on the review.
