24-Hour Giveaway: Clorox Toilet Wand (3 winners)

by crystal on October 16, 2009

Clorox asked me if I'd be willing to do a review and a giveaway of their new Toilet Wand. As you all know, I'm always up for trying something new–especially if it's free!–so I said I'd be glad to do it.

Honestly? I was under-impressed. The Toilet Wand retails for $9.98 and comes with a base, wand, and six disposable cleaning heads. I thought perhaps each cleaning head would last for more than one cleaning. Surely, I thought.

But nope, each refill is meant for one cleaning. You know me, I tried to stretch it out to clean both toilets in our home. I found that it was possible, but there wasn't much cleaning solution left in the cleaning head by the time I got to the second toilet.

I usually clean toilets the old-fashioned way–with a rag and some Basic H. It takes a bit more effort, but it probably costs me $0.002 per cleaning as opposed to the $0.50 to $1 (depending upon the sale and coupon you might use!) to use the Clorox Toilet Wand. So my blunt opinion of the Clorox Toilet Wand is that they are very over-priced.

In addition, the Clorox Toilet Wand product is not environmentally-friendly. Unlike my usual method of using Basic H concentrate in a refillable bottle and a rag that I wash, the Toilet Wand refills are thrown out after each use.

However, I didn't hate the product. In fact, I thought the Clorox Toilet Wand cleaned very well and was super easy to use. I'd even go so far as to recommend it if you had some very stubborn stains on your toilet or if you are a germ-a-phobic and don't want to touch your toilet in order to clean it. The Clorox Toilet Wand is guaranteed to kill 99.9% of germs so if you're willing to spend more money to save time and effort to ensure your toilet is super clean, this might be the way for you to go.

I'm guessing that there will be some great deals out on this product in the next few months so if you're able to get it for free or almost-free, definitely consider trying it out. There's a $5/1 coupon here which would help to further sweeten any deals you're able to find.

If you're interested in trying out this product (and seeing if you agree or disagree with my opinion!), I'm giving three away today. Just leave a comment on this post within the next 24 hours and you'll be entered to win.

Moms in Need of Mercy October 17, 2009 at 12:45 pm: I’m curious to know how you clean the inside of your toilet bowl with just a rag and Basic h? I didn’t know you could do it w/o the toilet bowl brush!! Do you have to turn off the water valve to your toilet so you can really scrub the inside and the inner rim? Or do you just reach in with gloves (and all the water still in there)?
Whitney Latham October 17, 2009 at 12:47 pm: thanks for keeping up this amazing blog! Love it! God bless you and your family!
