The “Magic” $6 Cleaner That’ll Make Your Toilet Look Brand-New (More than 10,000 Bottles Sold Last Month!)

I, like many of you, love cleaning content. There’s nothing that’ll make me stop scrolling faster than seeing a dirty space that I know in the next 30 seconds is about to be transformed into a perfectly clean masterpiece. In fact, I spend more time than I care to admit scrolling through #CleanTok for ideas and product suggestions. My most recent scroll resulted in me coming across what the internet is calling one of the (if not the) best toilet cleaners around: the Zep Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner. 

In video after video, happy shoppers are showing off just how well this toilet cleaner tackles stains — and it’s not only TikTok that’s loving this find. I decided to check out what Amazon shoppers were thinking, too, and you should’ve seen the look on my face when I saw that not only was it a best-seller with tons of glowing reviews, but that over 10,000 bottles of the stuff was also sold in the last month. 

So, what is the big deal with this toilet bowl cleaner? Formulated to quickly remove rust, dissolve organic stains, and eliminate hard-water residue from toilets, the secret lies in its powerful 10% acid gel formula. This concentrated gel is able to do what most cleaners can’t, clinging to and tackling even the most stubborn of stains. Using it couldn’t be easier: Simply apply it to your toilet’s surface and underneath the rim, let it sit for five minutes, and get to scrubbing. Soon you’ll be left with nothing but a glimmering toilet. The best part? The formula features a fresh wintergreen scent, which means no harsh cleansing odors, either.

“I had hard water and limescale in my toilet that I’ve been unable to remove. I’ve tried so many products I can’t keep count. This has gone on for at least five years. Then, I stumbled on Zep Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner and figured I’d try it. So today I poured some under the rim of my toilet and around the bowl. I didn’t use that much product. I let it sit for three hours and then used my toilet brush and every bit of build-up was gone. I can’t believe how happy it makes me to see a clean, white toilet bowl. This has irritated me for years and I’ve been embarrassed for people to use my bathroom, lest they think I’m unclean. Zep completely solved the problem. I can’t believe it was so easy.” —Green Sangha

“I got my Zep today and couldn’t wait another second. Squeezed some in my toilet bowl and an hour later, all the hard-water stains were gone with barely any scrubbing!!! I’ve been living with them for 4 years and nothing worked! Not bleach, borax, baking soda, vinegar, Dawn — nothing. Until now. My toilet bowl is spotless and sparkling. I’m speechless. I’m without speech. Thank you, Zep!” —DC
