Question 1

Will this clean the black crummy buildup that is underneath the toilet rim?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will, but if it's mold, it may come back very fast. That's because mold that appears under the rim may also be trapped inside the rim. If you look at the design of the rim, there is a enclosed space with holes. The water runs through the enclosed area and then runs out through the holes. If there is mold inside the rim, the water is bathed in the mold before finally escaping through the holes. This causes the mold underneath the rim to return very quickly after it's been cleaned.

To truly resolve the problem, you have to do something to kill the mold that's growing inside the rim.

I fought this battle for several months, having to clean the mold from under the rim every few days later, until I figured out the problem. I finally got rid of the mold by using bleach tablets inside the tank. Yes, I knew it could damage the flapper, but I decided it was worth it. The flapper for my toilet costs $10 so I bought a replacement in advance. It took around 2 months of using the tablets to completely kill the mold, but once I did, it was truly gone. I now have NO MOLD at all. It's not coming back at all.

Checking my orders, I purchased Clorox Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner Tablets with Bleach on August 12, 2017. It's about 1-1/2 years later, and the mold has not returned. So using the tablets did resolve the problem. Now I only need to do regular toilet cleaning using the Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner with Lime and Rust Remover (which is the best one I have ever used).

I think I know what caused the mold to grow inside the rim. When my toilet gets clogged, preventing the water from flushing, the water in my toilet gets high enough to reach the holes in the rim. If that water is dirty, the enclosed area inside rim becomes infected with bacteria. That's what starts the mold. The only way to get rid of it is to clean inside the rim.

It might be possible to use this toilet bowl cleaner inside the tank which would then flow through the inside part of the rim. I don't know how many times this would need to be repeated to completely kill all of the mold. I also don't know if it would also damage the flapper. For me, I decided that the convenience of dropping a tablet inside the tank two times and then replacing the flapper one time (which is very easy to do) was the best solution. I could not be happier to finally get rid of the mold for good.

Question 2

Is this really a dozen or 12 bottles in the offer for ~$24.00?

Accepted Answer

You do realize a dozen is 12...right?

Question 3

Why do the instructions say to "wet hands. place hands under dispenser until soap is dispensed..." rather nervous to order this - is it tb cleaner???

Accepted Answer

Explanation: If you click on the link "See more product details" you will be taken further down the page to "Product Details". Under that you will find "Important Information" and under that you will find "Directions". The directions state, "Wet Hands. Place Hands Under Dispenser Until Soap Is Dispensed. Wash Hands. Rinse Hands With Water..." These directions are for using a battery-powered automatic soap dispenser. They have absolutely nothing to do with the Lysol Lime & Rust Remover Toilet Bowl Cleaner 10X Cleaning Power product. So, you can safely ignore these "Directions". How directions for using a battery-powered automatic soap dispenser got on the page for toilet bowl cleaner can only be answered by Amazon which has a serious problem with this kind of thing. In this instance this mistake could be a severe safety issue as this product contains hydrochloric acid. The safety data sheet lists this product's Hazards Identification as CORROSIVE TO METALS, ACUTE TOXICITY (oral), SKIN CORROSION and SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE.

Question 4

will it get rid of toilet ring?

Accepted Answer

My water is high in minerals, including iron. The iron deposits on my toilet bowl. I put this cleaner in the bowl, us a brush to spread it around, and leave it for about 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes I use a brush and clean the bowl. This cleaner is GREAT! It makes it easy to keep the bowl nice and white.
