The Bottom Line

Convenience sells these days and I'm willing to buy convenience, but like many products the convenience of Scrubbing Bubbles Fizz-Its comes at a price. They are easy to use, just open the package and drop it in. Once the tablet fizzes completely, your toilet is ready to brush over and rinse. Overall Scrubbing Bubbles Fizz-Its can be a convenient way to perform maintenance cleaning on your toilet. If your looking for a heavy duty toilet cleaner, you've found the wrong product.

Guide Review - Scrubbbing Bubbles Fizz-its

Ten individually wrapped tablets come in each box. The packaging was mildly challenging. Just drop it in. That is if you drop it just the right way. The first time it worked perfectly. I dropped it near enough to the water to prevent splashing, but without actually touching the water. The tablet floated down and rested on the inside of the bowl, sending a fizzing of cleaner out into the toilet bowl. After just a few minutes the bowl was ready for a brief scrubbing with the toilet brush.

When I went to use the Scrubbing Bubbles Fizz-Its on the kids bathroom it was a little different experience. I cut open a package and dropped it in to watch it disappear in a hole at the back of the toilet. I waited to see if the fizzing action would be able to reach up to the actual bowl, but I was out of luck. Little more than a cloudy bit of cleaner fizzed up. By now, I was wondering what was wrong with this toilet or with me. But going back to two other toilets yielded the same results. Out of ten tablets, I was able to get 5 to work properly. When the tablet did land the right way, it did make cleaning a little easier.

If you need a thorough cleaning, you're supposed to use two tablets and allow the water to sit for 30 minutes. If you need a backup to your regular cleaning or for unexpected guests, this product could be perfect for you. If you're looking for a multi-purpose effective bathroom cleaner, you might be better off with the regular Scrubbing Bubbles.
