Sparkle toilet bowl cleaner does not foam up as pictured in the ads. It also doesn't clean as stated in the ads. Even with manually using a toilet brush to aid the cleaner, it still leaves the original stain. And I used 4 times as much Sparkle as recommended. Sparkle cleaner is a scam, don't waste your hard earned money on it.
I wish I'd seen these reviews first! The product does nothing more than baking soda and vinegar and doesn't even clean the toilet. Their video was probably photoshopped. I asked for my money back and they gave me the standard template email of 65% refund and I keep the product (so I get to keep a product that doesn't work - big deal!). I accepted their offer grudgingly, but then saw PayPal has a money back guarantee. ALL the money, not just 65% or a fraction. We'll see what happens, but these people should be reported - it's an outright scam.
This is a completely SCAM merchandise, I purchased this product a month ago and immediately decided to return entire package after one use. Despite their customer service rep offering 65% of refund without the returns, I decided to send it back since I was not going to hold onto something that is totally bogus product. This product deserves "zero" star.

Don't waste your money on this supposed cleaner. It doesn't clean any better than any thing else I've ever used. My toilet rings and brown stuff on the bottom is still there after it says it removes it.It does not. This stuff is just a waste of $20.
Decided to give it a try. Delivery tracking was ridiculous. Passed hands from UPS to USPS. Was listed as delivered but never was (was home & checked mail as soon as tracking status changed). Their Customer Service Team was absolutely useless & sent me down fruitless trail with USPS), refusing to even consider doing the right thing & replace since as the seller they were in control of the disjointed shipping method. Now that I'm reading all these terrible reviews from people who actually received their product, I guess I'll just resign myself to the fact that either way, I was still destined to be scammed by this unscrupulous company. Hope they go out of business.
Bought 2 boxes. Does not work at all. Went through both boxes even left it in over night NOTHING!. Bought Lysol Advanced. Left in the bowl overnight. Next morning a light scrub and flush. Perfectly clean even the hard water stains.
I had to wear a mask and safety glasses to use but the powder dust made it through the mask and choked me. I had contracted pneumonia shortly after using this product. I was 4 days past the return and the number went to a very unhelpful person. It did not clean the toilet ring. Lousy harmful product. Don't buy.
Do NOT BUY. This product does nothing. When I put it in my toilet it foamed very little but it did give off noxious fumes that made me cough and my eyes water
The company would not honor their 100% no questions asked guarantee. DO NOT BUY. RIP OFF
BowlSparkle is the worst possible kind of product. It doesn't do what it claims to do (foaming cleaner that leaves toilet bowl spotless), and it is even potentially dangerous! I used it this afternoon, and I am still choking and coughing. The fumes from this product are noxious.
This company took my money. Gave me a bogus tracking number and says they can't return my money because the product shipped even though there is no history of movement since Oct 31,2020 (now Nov 24,2020). Fedex won't file a claim because I am not the shipper. This is totally unacceptable!
I feel so dumb that I fell for it, this product is some toxic garbage! They don't even share the ingredients on their website. It's super irritating and if I had the money and time, I would file a suit against them.
Please, DO NOT BUY! This is a HUGE waste of money and might be even unsafe. If I knew how to dispose of it safely, I would! Forget the money, even though $25.00 doesn't grow on trees :(
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I bought this based on the reviews on its website. Now I believe those were probably fabricated. This product is awful and does nothing it claims to do. I have two toilets. I tried to use it in both, twice just to give it a second chance. I followed the instructions precisely. The only thing that it did was turn the water blue, no foaming or cleaning. I don't understand how this can be sold as (essentially) a miracle toilet bowl cleaner. I will never use this product again; and, I most certainly will never recommend it. It deserves zero stars.
I thought I was using it wrong. Maybe too much water left in the bowl. Tried second time and same thing. A few bubbles in the bottom of the bowl but definitely did not foam up the sides as advertised. I'm very disappointed because I did a search for reviews first. Didn't want to get scammed, and here we are. What rotten people writing false reviews to make a buck.
I believed the fake hype and bought 3 packages of bowl sparkle. It foams up nicely but doesn't clean the toilet. This is a total scam and they should not be allowed to lie when they advertise this product. I have even scrubbed the bowl while this product was foaming and it just does not clean. Period. It does not even rate the 1 star rating that i am forced to give it.
I tried this product in 2020 and it did not work then. I notice they are not advertised much now - probably due to well earned negative reviews, but if you check this advertising against another "new" product that is touted as a foaming toilet cleaner you will see it is nearly identical in the photos and "reviews". It seems they just changed the name to avoid the bad reviews.
I only gave it a one star because I had to select one to add my review. This product did nothing to my toilets and granted they were not very bad but I hoped it would at lease clean what the renters failed to keep clean. I called them to get my refund and they would only refund me $12 dollars of the $26 I spent on this crap. This company needs to be stopped!
Free gift is not free they charge exorbitant delivery charge far more than gift is worth, did not see any mention on site of charges. The product can be bought a lot cheaper elsewhere. Don't buy this is scam advertising, it is not until after you have paid that you realize you have been ripped off.
Just take your 20 dollars and flush it down the toilet it will be just as clean as using this worthless product, maybe cleaner. I should have known better.
I have not even received my product yet and they have continued to charge my pay pal account. It should have been a one time payment of $24.90 but they have adding more payments of $4.99, $9.95, and as of today another $15.00. This is just out and out stealing! I have opened a dispute with pay pal. DON'T BUY FROM THEM! I have not received any product and don't know if I ever will. I like to shove bowl sparkle right up where the sun don't shine!
It cost $21.38 for the product and $11.82 to ship it back.
It didn't foam up as described in video. I believe it was nothing more than
Laundry powder. When I called and complained the lady I spoke to said nothing
About why it didn't foam up as in the video shown on the internet.
This company is counting on the fact no-one wants to ship it back based on the cost.
The company is located in Orange county California but has a return shipping to Hayden Idaho.
The CA number is *******039.
