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.

SarahD October 16, 2009 at 11:11 pm: I would love to try it. I am all for being frugal, especially when it comes to cleaning, but being sick and pregnant with # 3 has caused me to use some short-cuts. This sounds like a nice one for this season of life!

Dawn October 16, 2009 at 11:27 pm: I’ve used them before and stopped to save money, but would love to get some for FREE!
desiree October 16, 2009 at 11:27 pm: ooo looks neat
Kristen E October 16, 2009 at 11:28 pm: What a gimmick, I want it to sell in my yard sales. Although my two kids would probably rip the packaging off before it got there.
Jennifer October 16, 2009 at 11:33 pm: It’s worth a shot!
Elizabeth October 16, 2009 at 11:36 pm: I agree that this sounds pricey. I’ve tried a similar product by Scrubbing Bubbles (I think it was them) and really liked it, especially since the box said that I could flush the scrubby pad down the toilet. This kind of thing comes in handy particularly when members of the family have stomach bugs!
Amber Schmidt October 16, 2009 at 11:36 pm: I LOVE these! I never feel like there is enough cleaner on the pads though, so I presoak with CHEAP $0.23 a bottle Lysol Toilet Bowl (with bleach) cleaner and then scrub with the scrubber. I use a small trashcan to carry it from room to room and I use ONE pad on all three of my toilets before I throw it out. I REALLY like the handle and that I don’t have to touch ANYTHING!!! I am a total germaphobe!
Beth October 16, 2009 at 11:36 pm: pick me please! we’ve got dirty toilets, lol
Selene M. October 16, 2009 at 11:36 pm: I’m interested in trying this product. Thanks for the giveaway.

billie October 16, 2009 at 11:37 pm: This sounds like something I would love. I HATE cleaning the toilet so it’s probably the one area I’d be willing to pay a little too much to take the ick factor out. Especially with the coupons you mentioned.
Sarah October 16, 2009 at 11:38 pm: would love to try it!
Melanie October 16, 2009 at 11:41 pm: I’d like to give this a try. I have very sensitive skin and can’t have any chemicals touch my hands or I’ll break out in sores. What is Basic H. that you use and where do you get it?
Zoya October 16, 2009 at 11:49 pm: I’d love to win and try it!
