2000 FLUSHES-20801 Blue Plus Bleach Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner, 3.5 OZ ( Pack Of 1 )

I'm a guy, I live alone in a non-urban area with hard water and I don't have a maid. I have better things to do with my time than scrub my toilet. In fact almost anything is a better use of my time than that.I didn't get any funny colors and these things last me about 6 months +/-. All I've really needed to do since I started using this stuff is brush the toilet now and then to get rid of the bacterial slime that builds up anywhere there's stagnant water. (That slime isn't a toilet thing, it's a water thing.) I was supplementing these with a cheap tank cake from WM but I ran out of those and haven't bothered to get more. I don't need to, this stuff does the same job all by itself and lasts me a long time in the bargain.I don't understand what all the fuss over pink toilet water is about, it might have been a bad batch but it seems to be fixed now if it was. It might also be a reaction between the product, toilet tank grunge and local water chemistry. I was a little hesitant about this complaint other people have posted but I don't have this problem.If you're getting reddish or pinkish water you might try shutting off the water to your toilet, flushing to drain the tank, and then treating it with a half gallon or so of bleach and allowing the tank to fill again. Then let it sit for an hour or longer if you don't need to use that toilet. If it's anything organic that will kill it. If it's a pigment thing that will bleach it out. It could also be a rust problem, try a product called "Wink" Rust Remover, follow the directions on the bottle. Don't mix Wink with Bleach or you'll release chlorine gas. Very bad idea. That's one of the gasses they used in trench warfare during WWI. This could damage your lungs and even kill your pets. Mixing chemicals when you don't know the properties of the mixture is always a mistake and an excessive, needless risk.I don't get the lime/scale buildup from the water I was getting before deploying this stuff. Before I started using this 2000 Flushes stuff I had to get in there and apply some serious elbow grease with a pumice stone about once a month or more. Not even a little bit fun. Now the pumice stone(s) mostly just sit in the cabinet, I haven't needed them except maybe a light touchup once or twice a year or so. I can live with that.My toilet is nice and clean, sparkling white with blue tinted water and it doesn't look like creeping-crud is growing on the waterline anymore. My Drill Instructor in the Marines would be very proud of me.Seriously, 6 months and nothing much more than a quick brushing now and then. That's pretty low maintenance toilet care in my opinion. For someone who gets no kick from scrubbing toilets, this is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.There's something weird going on with the prices though. This particular variant costs half (or less) than the other ones. I can buy three of these for a little less than ten bucks and that's more than a year's worth of product. I don't know why these are so cheap and everything else including the other things not made or marketed by 2000 Flushes, is so expensive. It goes in the toilet, if it's expensive that inhibits people buying and using it. The price of this is a bargain when I compare the time and effort of using something else.If I had to use something else and spend much more I'd probably just go back to doing all this manually. I don't like cleaning toilets but this is money that literally gets flushed down the drain so I'm not blowing a lot of my cash on it either. There's a tradeoff between my frugal financial views and my desire not to do a hard scrub on a toilet once a week. Remember that Drill Instructor I mentioned above? Yeah, that toilet is getting cleaned one way or another, it's a compulsion after all these years. Comparing cost, effectiveness and labor savings this stuff hits the sweet spot, if anything pertaining to a toilet can be said to do so.

When I first got it I didn’t read the directions I thought I was getting two tablets in the box so they were good for two separate uses. I thought after a couple of days well geez this isn’t cleaning my toilet this isn’t any good and I was disappointed Well it was the blue tablet that I put in first. When it finally dissolved and disappeared I put in the other tablet which was white and I thought well that’s smaller and wow that smells like chlorine and I dropped it into the tank and it stirred up the water so the water turned blue again. Then I noticed the blue disappeared and I thought well that’s strange and oh my gosh this kept the toilet clean so then I was getting my next delivery from Amazon and this time I read the box! Guess what both tablets are supposed to be dropped in the toilet at the same time so they work very well together and this way you know when they run out and so yeah they are good if you read the directions!!

Seems like when my mother bought these but I was a child they worked really well, these do not keep the bowl clean. But it does have a nice aroma, and you could pretend you're peeing in the ocean

The first few days OK, but after that the blue colored water got lighter pretty fast. It’s a two part installation (blue & white). The chlorine smell lasted a bit longer. I would rate this as a 200 flush product, not where near 2000.

The scent is weak at best. My wife keeps our home very clean. I have noticed a ring it our toilet. The blue is weak in color. It just dont work as it should.

It was dark blue at first. I think it worked. The toilet no longer smells great. I no longer have to brush the toilet every day.

The first couple days of it being used was great. It actually had a great fragrance that I smelled throughout my house. But three or four days in, my water turned a peach orange color for some odd reason. I really don't know what happened other than defective product. That's the reason I'm not happy. I don't want peach orange water. I wanted blue!

The blue cake in this product does not work. It does not dissolve on its own, I have to go into the tank and poke it with a stick, every few days. I will no longer buy this product.
