      A:  they have a small bottles at the store but we buy this one big because we work on house keeping and use it more so yes you can put some in another cup or something similar and just put it on the toilet and wait a few minutes to work on it.

      by|Jul 22, 2021

        A:  No, it is not advisable to use in a spray bottle. For best results, pour 4 ounces of Zep Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner into toilet bowl. Use bowl brush to apply around edges and underneath rim. Allow the cleaner to dwell for 5 minutes before scrubbing, then flush to rinse. I hope this helps!

          A:  Save your empty regular toilet bowl cleaner bottle. Remove the "squeeze part" by continuing to twist it and pull out the little stopper with a pair of pliers. Then use a funnel to refill. I just tried it and it was simple.

              A:  This has worked well on stains that I had in my toilet that other cleaners would not remove, I would be very willing to try it. Probably leave it on longer than 5 Minutes before scrubbing.

              A:  The directions say it's only for use in ceramic bowls - no tubs sinks or showers. I think it would etch the plastic and make it even less sanitary.

                    A:  For sure! Same problem on all my faucets & shower heads. Watch the time if u have silver or gold fixtures will turn blk, i washed with hot water & vinegar & the black came off but FYI it WILL stain or damage fixtures.

                      A:  Yes it will in my experience. I would empty the bowl of water so the cleaner isn't diluted. Will take a bit of time for it to work but this cleaner does work very well
