This comprehensive FAQ answers every question I received during my 30-day FizzClean testing period. Click any question to see the detailed answer.
Basics & How to Use
Step-by-step process:
- Measure: Use 1 level tablespoon of FizzClean powder (included scoop)
- Pour: Slowly pour powder around the toilet bowl, distributing evenly
- Wait: Let foam work for 20 minutes (set a timer)
- Optional: Quick brush swish under rim if desired
- Flush: Flush toilet and you're done
Pro tip: For best results, pour the powder slowly rather than dumping it all at once. This gives better foam distribution.
Standard dose: 1 tablespoon (15ml) for regular cleaning
Heavy soil: 1.5 tablespoons for tough stains or neglected toilets
Light maintenance: You can use slightly less (2 teaspoons) for very light cleaning
Warning: Don't use more than 2 tablespoons or the foam may overflow. More product doesn't necessarily mean better cleaning - it just creates more foam than necessary.
For regular maintenance (weekly cleaning): True - no scrubbing required. Just pour, wait, flush.
For moderate stains (2-3 weeks buildup): A quick 10-second brush swish helps but isn't required.
For heavy stains (month+ old): Yes, you'll need to brush. But it's light brushing, not aggressive scrubbing.
For very old rust or neglect: Scrubbing is definitely needed.
Bottom line: The "scrub-free" claim is accurate for what most people do - weekly or bi-weekly maintenance cleaning. If you let your toilet go for months, you'll need to brush regardless of what cleaner you use.
Recommended frequency: Once per week for most households
High-traffic bathrooms: Twice per week
Guest bathrooms: Every 2 weeks is sufficient
Hard water areas: Twice per week to prevent mineral buildup
Based on my testing, weekly cleaning with FizzClean keeps toilets in perfect condition with zero effort. If you wait longer, stains have more time to set in and require more applications.
Best temperature: Room temperature water (whatever is naturally in your toilet)
Cold water: Works fine, just foam develops slightly slower
Hot water: Avoid temperatures above 140°F (60°C) - causes rapid oxygen release and can overflow
You don't need to adjust water temperature. The product works with whatever water is already in your toilet bowl.
Ideal solution: Clean when you know the toilet won't be needed for 20 minutes (before bed, before leaving house, etc.)
If interrupted: It's okay to flush early if needed. The cleaning won't be as effective, but some cleaning is better than none.
Restart option: If you flush before 20 minutes, you can reapply and let it sit the full time.
This is why I recommend using FizzClean before bed or first thing in the morning - times when the toilet won't be needed urgently.
Effectiveness & Performance
Yes, with context: For light to moderate stains (typical weekly cleaning), 20 minutes is completely sufficient and the toilet will be sparkling clean.
For tougher stains: Heavy buildup or month-old stains benefit from longer contact time. I've had success with overnight soaking for stubborn deposits.
The 20-minute timeframe is honest for regular maintenance. Unlike some cleaners that claim "5 minutes" but require vigorous scrubbing, FizzClean's 20 minutes genuinely produces scrub-free results.
Excellent performance:
- Hard water stains and mineral rings
- Limescale deposits
- General grime and yellowing
- Urine stains
- Soap scum
Good performance:
- Fresh rust stains (under 2 weeks old)
- Moderate calcium buildup
Limited performance:
- Very old rust stains (3+ months)
- Severe neglect (years of buildup)
Fresh rust (under 2 weeks): Yes, works well with single treatment
Moderate rust (2 weeks - 2 months): Lightens significantly, may need 2 applications
Old rust (3+ months): Limited effectiveness - lightens but doesn't completely remove
Why the limitation: Rust requires specialized chelating agents or strong acids like oxalic acid. Citric acid (in FizzClean) can lighten rust but can't fully dissolve heavy iron oxide deposits.
Recommendation: For old rust problems, use a specialized rust remover like CLR or Clorox Lime & Rust Destroyer. FizzClean is better for preventing rust than removing ancient rust stains.
Yes, but requires multiple applications. For heavily neglected toilets:
First application: Use 1.5 tablespoons, let sit overnight, brush and flush
Second application: Standard 1 tablespoon, 20 minutes, brush if needed
Third application (if needed): Standard treatment
In my testing, a toilet that hadn't been cleaned in 3 months required 2 applications to get completely clean. FizzClean will work on neglected toilets, it just needs multiple treatments to penetrate through layers of buildup.
Yes, this is actually FizzClean's sweet spot. Weekly preventive use keeps toilets in perfect condition and prevents stain buildup entirely.
When you clean regularly with FizzClean, mineral deposits never have time to harden, bacteria can't establish colonies, and your toilet stays perpetually clean with minimal effort.
This is much smarter than letting toilets get gross and then using harsh chemicals to deep clean. Regular FizzClean maintenance = effortless cleaning forever.
Safety & Health
Yes, completely safe. FizzClean uses oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate) which breaks down into water and oxygen - harmless to septic bacteria.
Why it's safe: Unlike chlorine bleach which kills beneficial bacteria in septic tanks, oxygen bleach doesn't disrupt the bacterial ecosystem needed for septic system function.
My experience: I have a septic system and used FizzClean weekly for 30 days with zero issues or disruption to septic function.
Non-toxic and family-safe when used as directed.
Ingredients: Sodium percarbonate (oxygen bleach) and citric acid - both are non-toxic cleaning agents used in many household products.
No harsh fumes: Unlike bleach or hydrochloric acid cleaners, FizzClean doesn't produce dangerous fumes.
Precautions:
- Keep powder container out of reach of children
- Don't let pets drink the foamy toilet water (it won't hurt them, but it's not pleasant)
- If powder contacts eyes, rinse with water
My experience: My wife has asthma and had zero respiratory issues using FizzClean, whereas Lysol triggers her asthma within minutes.
NO. Never mix cleaning products.
Dangerous combinations:
- FizzClean + Bleach = Toxic chlorine gas (potentially fatal)
- FizzClean + Ammonia = Toxic fumes
- FizzClean + any acid cleaner = Unpredictable reaction
Safe protocol: If you've recently used another cleaner, flush the toilet multiple times and wait 24 hours before using FizzClean.
This is a serious safety issue. Many hospitalizations occur from people mixing cleaning products. Use FizzClean alone.
Immediate action:
- Flush eyes with clean water for 15-20 minutes
- Remove contact lenses if wearing them
- Continue flushing while removing contacts
- Seek medical attention if irritation persists
Prevention: The powder is fine and can create dust when poured. Pour slowly and close to the water surface to minimize dust.
Note: While FizzClean is non-toxic, the powder is alkaline and can cause eye irritation. It's not dangerous, but flush thoroughly if contact occurs.
No damage to any plumbing components.
Safe for:
- All porcelain toilets (white and colored)
- Chrome faucets and fixtures
- PVC, copper, and all pipe materials
- Septic tanks and drain fields
- Municipal sewer systems
Why it's safe: Unlike strong acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric) that can corrode plumbing over time, citric acid and oxygen bleach are gentle on all materials while still being effective cleaners.

No subscription. One-time purchase only.
FizzClean does not use hidden subscription models. When you buy, you pay once and that's it. You won't be automatically charged again unless you manually place another order.
This is a positive - many cleaning product companies hide subscription terms in fine print. FizzClean doesn't do this.
Troubleshooting & Problems
Cause: Too much powder used. The recommended 1 tablespoon creates substantial foam - using 2+ tablespoons can cause overflow.
Prevention:
- Stick to 1 tablespoon for standard toilets
- Use slightly less (2 teaspoons) for low-water toilets
- Pour powder slowly and watch foam development
If overflow occurs: It's just foam - wipe up with a cloth or paper towel. The foam itself is non-toxic and won't damage floors.
My experience: I intentionally over-applied to test this. With 2 tablespoons in a standard toilet, foam reached the rim but didn't actually overflow. With 1 tablespoon, foam stays well below the rim.
Common causes and solutions:
1. Old rust stains: FizzClean has limited effectiveness on old rust. Use a specialized rust remover.
2. Insufficient contact time: Did you wait the full 20 minutes? Shorter times reduce effectiveness.
3. Severe neglect: Months/years of buildup requires multiple applications. Try overnight soaking.
4. Wrong stain type: Some stains (like certain dyes or chemicals) require different treatments.
5. Hard water beyond FizzClean's capacity: Extremely hard water (500+ ppm) may need multiple treatments.
Recommended protocol: For tough stains, try 2-3 applications before concluding it doesn't work. Most "failures" are actually situations requiring multiple treatments.
Yes, still effective. Powder can clump if exposed to moisture or humidity.
To fix: Break up clumps with a spoon or shake the container vigorously. The cleaning power isn't affected.
Prevention:
- Keep container tightly sealed after each use
- Store in dry location (not under sink if that area is damp)
- Don't use wet hands when handling the powder
When to discard: Only if powder becomes completely solid or develops mold (extremely rare). Normal clumping is fine.
Nothing wrong. The purple color can vary based on:
- Water pH levels
- Powder batch variations
- How recently you opened the container
The color is just a visual indicator - it doesn't affect cleaning performance. Some batches foam purple, some foam white, both work equally well.
What matters: The foaming action itself, not the color. If it's creating foam, it's working.
Yes, with adjustment: Low-flow or water-efficient toilets have less water in the bowl. Add 1 cup of water before applying FizzClean to ensure adequate moisture for foam generation.
Why this helps: The foam needs water to form and spread. With very low water levels, the foam may not cover the entire bowl surface effectively.
My testing: I tested this on a low-flow toilet and found that adding just 1 cup of water made a significant difference in foam coverage.
Comparisons to Other Cleaners
Clorox advantages:
- Faster (5 minutes vs. 20 minutes)
- Cheaper per use ($0.35 vs. $0.47)
- More widely available in stores
FizzClean advantages:
- No scrubbing required (Clorox needs light brushing)
- Septic-safe (Clorox is not)
- Non-toxic, no harsh fumes
- Multi-purpose (works on sinks, tubs)
- Better for hard water stains
Bottom line: If you need fast cleaning and have municipal sewer, Clorox wins. If you want effortless cleaning, have septic, or prioritize safety, FizzClean wins.
Lysol is "stronger" in terms of chemical aggression. It uses hydrochloric acid which is more corrosive and works faster on tough stains like rust.
FizzClean is "smarter" in that it achieves similar results through gentler chemistry that's safer for plumbing, septic systems, and users.
For rust stains: Lysol is more effective
For everything else: FizzClean performs as well or better while being safer to use
My recommendation: Use FizzClean for regular maintenance. Keep Lysol for extreme rust problems only.
FizzClean advantages:
- Much cheaper ($0.47 vs. $1.16 per use)
- More effective on organic stains
- Dual-action formula (oxygen + acid)
Blueland advantages:
- Slightly more eco-friendly packaging
- Zero-waste mission
Bottom line: Both are eco-friendly and septic-safe. FizzClean offers better value and performance. Blueland wins on packaging sustainability but costs 2.5x more.
