Waste of money
Ain't not better than any other cleaner. As a matter of fact not as good as some that are WAY CHEAPER! You can use half a bottle of peroxide and get BETTER results. Kaboom if you can find it. ( They claim it's oxi-clean now). Even dawn does a BETTER job. This product will not remove tough stains or build up. Save money but 3% peroxide pour it in and wait for a while. You can actually watch it eating the tough build up away. The stain in this toilet hasn't budged a mm with zep.after a full bottle and three days it's the same. Peroxide will wipe this out in 30 minutes

    Zep the life saver!
    Ok this may not save your life. But definitely cleans toilets well!! We moved into a rental that this toilet was nasty dirty! I tried everything I could think of. The before picture was after using several other products. After using Zep and some pumice stones we were able to get to the after picture. Been using for 18 months now. I'd recommend pouring slowly in your toilet bowl the night before, fill generously and leave overnight. Scrub in morning for best results! Highly Recommend!!

      Most Amazing Product EVER!!!
      We recently moved into an older house with a water well. Hard water stains were impossible to remove. I went to Home Depot to buy a pumice stone as a last resort, but luckily I decided to give Zep a try!

        Zep Toilet Bowl Cleaner
        This appears to be a very good toilet bowl cleaner. It is very easy to use and does the job in cleaning a soiled bowl. Simply apply under the lip of the bowl, ensuring it covers all areas of the bowl, let it sit for several minutes or so and use the bowl brush easily clean the bowl. It has a very pleasant sent as well. I will be using this cleaner to clean my bowl going forward.

          I gave this a try, thinking it's just the same as all the other toilet bowel cleaners. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually removed a yellow stain that had developed around the under rim of the toilet bowels. The stains have been there for several years and I've never been to remove them. So, I'm sold on this stuff. The bottle makes it really easy to get the cleaner under the rim. It say wait 5 minutes but I didn't wait and it still cleaned the stains.

          This acid toilet bowl cleaner did a good job cleaning my toilet bowl. I would say great, but It didn't remove the ring in the bowl. Unfortunately, the ring stayed and I had to use a pumice stone. This is a thick gel cleaner and is easy to apply to the bowl without accidently getting the cleaner outside of the bowl or on the floor. The gel has a fresh, clean scent.

          This is a great product for removing stains on a toilet bowl that will not come out through other means. I have a septic system at my house, so I had some concerns about using it. The manufacturer claims there should be no issues with septic systems. I just had a ring at the water level line and it did a good job at getting rid of most of it. It claims to be good for rust stains as well. This product definitely removes more stains than regular, non-acidic cleaners. I recommend this for particularly stubborn stains.

          We have a lot of iron in our well water and a whole house filter only does so much, so our toilet bowls are always that nice rusty color and rust builds up under the rim s well. The ZEP bowl cleaner did a good job of clinging to the rim and walls of the bowl.I didn't use a lot, just one squirt all around. It had a pleasant smell, and after 5 minutes I gave it a scrub and the rust was gone.It even loosened up some rust buildup under the rim. Directions say not for use on enamel or metal, so keep it AWAY from your sinks, tub or shower.

          Wow I really like this ZEP Acidic Toilet Bowl cleaner. It states that this product removes soils, Rust, hard Water, and stains. It is a thick pro strength Acidic gel that is 2 times thicker than the regular toilet bowl cleaners. You simply squirt into the toilet, wait 5 minutes, scrub, and flush. I had some really hard stains up under the rim of my one toilets that I always had a hard time cleaning, this product easily removed the stains from under the rim, finally! This product contains Hydrochloric acid, and not a sever acid that will eat through your Toilet.This product is for use on Toilet bowls and urinals, it is safe for septic tanks ,drain lines and, water treatment systems. This product works exceptionally well, and you will be happy with the performance of this product.

          ZEP 32 ounce Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner White. This toilet bowl cleaner is easy to use and easy to apply. The offset nozzle allows you to direct the cleaner underneath the bowl ring with ease. This bowl cleaner is two times thicker so it clings well to the sides and underneath of the bowl to dissolve rust, hard water stains and solids. Just apply the bowl cleaner and let it stand for five minutes. Then bush and flush. The fresh wintergreen scent is a plus. As with all ZEP products this bowl cleaner is professional strength and gets the job done. I highly recommend this toilet bowl cleaner.

          First time trying this ZEP acidic toilet bowl cleaner. It says it's 2x thicker, seems as thick as some other brands we have used. It says it's safe for septic tanks, drain lines and water treatment systems. Contains Hydrochloric Acid so be safe, wear gloves and wipe up any spills. The product seemed to work well after sitting for the 5 minutes as directed before brushing the bowl clean. Would get this ZEP bowl cleaner again.

          This is an industrial toilet bowl cleaner with a strong acid (hydrochloric acid) and it is only intended for toilets or urinals. Cleaned very well and required very little scrubbing on my part. It comes out pretty fast when you turn it over to apply it to the toilet bowl so be careful. Clings to the side and coats very well. I thought there was not a strong cleaner smell so that was nice. One thing to mention is to be sure to have gloves on and avoid skin contact. Overall this product very easy and effective.

          Extremely easy to use with excellent results. Simply squeeze and spray cleaner around top of bowl and the gel coats completely. Quick scrub after a few minutes with bowl brush and the job is done. I had been gone for two weeks so I had plenty of hard water crud that needed cleaning on the bowls, and it did an excellent job. The ZEP product also has a pleasant smell.

          Our home was vacant for over a year before we moved in. It also is on a well. Due to the hard water sitting in the toilet bowls for long periods of time, there have been rings in each bowl that we have had no success in removing. I decided to give tge zep acidic bowl cleaner a try. I applied about 4 ounces of the thick gel to each bowl and let it sit for the required 5 minutes, actually a little longer. I then used the toilet brush to clean the bowls. The water line definitely got less noticeable but it still is there. I will use the product a few times until the rings go away.

          I was literally ready to buy a new toilet before finding this!! The before picture doesn't even do the after picture justice. The darkness at the bottom was thick ! Left it in for more like 20 min instead of 5

            I wish I took before photos
            We moved into a new rental and were dismayed to find the condition of the toilet bowl in the main bathroom. I was seriously considering replacing it out of our own pocket because it looked so terrible and I was embarrassed for company to see it. There were dark orange limescale and rust stains and this terrible black crud that looked like mold along the edge of the rim. I applied this cleaner and after the first 5 min + scrub it already looked leagues better but not perfect. I did 2 more really heavy handed applications and now the bowl shines like the top of the Chrysler building. It seriously looks like a new toilet. I bought a pumice stone thinking I'd need it for the tough spots but this cleaner took care of it all. Buy this product without hesitation, just know you might need a couple of applications.

              It is the only cleaner we have found that will clean our toilets. Bleach and or ammonia products don't work. Wish you sold them in the smaller 32 ounce container also. It makes it easier to use in toilet.
