Pros: smells nice
Cons: takes a lot of time, doesn't work.
The Bottom Line: Once my 4 refills are up, I won't be using this system again. Do not buy it!

| pinkskittle's Full Review: Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush Toilet Brush System |
Like most people who've spent money on this system, I was pretty excited by a toilet brush I could throw away.
The system
It's a stick. You attach a cleaner pad to the end. You get 4 cleaner pad refills with the starter kit. You wet the pad in the toilet water to get the concentrated Fantastik cleaner going (the blue cleaner is dried up in the pad), then scrub away. When you're done, there's a switch that you can release the pad into the toilet, then flush it away.
The SC Johnson website (the company who makes Fantastik, does not indicate what is in the cleaner, nor does the packaging. I assume it's a bit of bleach and some other general purpose cleaner stuff.
What I liked
I like the fact that I don't have a yucky brush sitting in my bathroom. It was just sitting in it's little container looking really gross. Now I have a stick.
The smell is great.
The blue colour that my toilet water turns is great.
What I didn't like
It doesn't get under the rim very well. The brush is just awkward, it's curved so you can get under the rim, but the plastic stick just scrapes it and the cleaner pad barely reaches.
It doesn't get all the stains out.
My toilet still has this line where the water is... you know the one I'm talking about... no matter how much scrubbing I do, it's still there.
It takes a lot of scrubbing. With my old traditional comet and brush system, I'd spend less than 2 minutes on my toilet (not including any soaking). Now with this thing, I could spend up to 5 minutes scrubbing and it still wouldn't be clean.
