lil’ bowl blu
flush with excitement
big clean comes in lil’ packages. only lil’ bowl blu’s bleach-free formula detoxes toilet bowls by harnessing the power of lactic acid to remove ring-around-the-rim, deep clean, deodorize and decalcify – naturally. It’s the ideal way to show the porcelain god some love.

eucalyptus mint
invigorating is its middle name. the crisp blend of bergamot, citron + lime leaf with eucalyptus + wild mint brings to mind frolicking among the trees in the cool mountain air. and who doesn’t like a healthy dose of frolicking?

My favorite!
I love this cleaner. I love the clean scent and the way it works. I read a couple of the reviews that state it doesn’t get stains out. Well maybe if the toilet hasn’t been cleaned in years it might not get the job done, but for weekly (or more) maintenance, it is the best! It is my favorite. I tried the “Anti-bac” version and it has much to “perfumey” a scent for me. I’m sticking with “lil’ bowl” so please keep making it! It’s the best!
My favorite!
My favorite bowl cleaner! I tried the “Anti-bac” and although it works great, the fragrance is too “perfumey”. “Lil’ bowl” has the nicest, cleanest scent and works great!
Little Bowl Blue is the Best!
I absolutely love this product! I have a cat and a dog who love to drink out of the toilet when someone forgets to put the seat down and I don’t have to worry about them getting sick with this product! It smells wonderful, and cleans very well. The only problem I am having is finding it in Fort Lauderdale. I used to buy it at Food Emporium in New York City (when I lived there), but the Target by me has stopped carrying it. Boooooo!
Not so great
Great smell and all..BUT: this bottle doesn’t last, it stains the toilet bowl, and is not very effective.

I want to clean my toilet all the time!
I love the smell of the Lil’ Bowl Blu that it makes me want to clean my toilet everyday. I don’t use it everyday just once a week, but I would certainly use it everyday.

so shiny
The water quality in my area is just terrible, so the toilets develop rings which are orange and come back very quickly. With other products I had to scrub and scrub to ever to get it off. I let this sit for about 10 min like it says and boom, orangeness gone! Can’t wait to try out more method products.

Tidy Toilet!
Works great – I’ve been using it for some time now and my bathroom smells great!

Good Products
I’ve been using this for a few years and I like it a lot. The smell is spa like and it works just fine. I am sensitive to harsh smells so I refuse to use other products. In fact, I stopped cleaning the toilet for months because I couldn’t take them. Then I discovered Method. Now the toilet gets cleaned and I don’t feel ill.

Smells great but requires elbow grease
I bought this to replace my toilet bowl cleaner which would irritate my respiratory tract. Lil bowl blue smells amazing but I have to really put some muscle into getting this to work. I have insanely hard water and I also got the blue ring. I added some Le Scrub to get rid of the blue ring and voila! Clean and nice smelling toilet.
My only suggestion would be to get rid of the blue coloring – then it would be perfect!

Not bad at All!
Once again impressed by Method’s ways. Does the job and the scent pretty much neutralizes and is not over powering one bit.

a non-chemical alternative for toilets
and ummm I use it for tubs or sinks with calcium build up too lol

Is it a spa or my bathroom? :)
I really love the smell of this toilet cleaner, and it works well for a basic cleaning. My bathroom smells like a spa after i clean with the Eucalyptus bathroom products. However, if you get bad rust stains from hard water, forget it, this won’t do anything to seriously tough stains like that.
But for an overall safe clean that you do on a weekly or bi-weekly basis…this great smelling bathroom product is the BEST!

Amazing
My bowl was so stained from only using another brand bowl cleaner, that I actually thought I should just buy a new toilet. However I decided to give Method a try and the results were so remarkable. Its sparkling clean!

great bowl cleaner
This was such a nice surprise to actually be able to effecTIvely clean the toilet without a bleachy smell. This stuff does the trick and it is well designed so it does get into the tight spots. I have put the cleaner in all bathrooms for quick clean ups. Great productb!!

Stained my toilet blue
Same problem as tara. Two toilets, one new the other 12 years old. The new one is stained blue, not just at the waterline, but the entire bowl above the waterline. The old toilet may leave a thin blue ring at the waterline, but not above it.

Lil' Bowl Bling
I used to use Lysol toilet bowl cleaner twice weekly and would freshen up my bowl in between cleanings with the lavender scented Fabuloso multi-purpose cleaner until I noticed a repeated feeling of nausea from the nasal barrage of strong artificial/chemical scents. Lil’ Bowl Blu knocks the socks off of toilet bowl ickyness without all of the gross, harmful, unnecessary & toxic chemicals and additives. Actually, I’m still unsure of what’s in the Lavender Fabuloso multi-purpose cleaner, because there’s no list of ingredients listed on the bottle… scaaaary! :-/

Love the scent, Love the clean, but shape of container...
One of my favorites. The scent is heavenly and it cleans great. Maybe it’s just me but I have a heck of a time grabbing and holding on to the bottle.

HELP!! Stained my toilets blue
lease help. Love other Method products and tried this one today for the first time after seeing it in Target. Followed directions perfectly, but when scrubbed, the bowls are stained blue exactly where the product was. These are *brand new* toilets that we just installed — will this go away over time?????
Dec. 1, 2010
Ummmmm...
So look I love Method ! I have loved their products since they made the wonderful air fresheners… mmmmm ” fresh cut grass”.
But this product doesnt really rule, sorry. It smells delish but it isnt thick enough and doesnt get off stains except for the really easy ones.
Im going to have to resort to a main line product which makes me sad.
This just doesnt cut it in the bowl.. unless you only pee… yup I said it ! ll

It makes my toilet so shiny and clean!
What a way to turn heads. This was the first method product I tried because my toddler likes to help clean and I wouldn’t let her get anywhere near the bright blue clorox toilet bowl cleaner. I found this at Lowe’s and decided to try it. The design is cute, the smell is great and it actually works. I would recommend a little Le Scub for tougher jobs or toilets that don’t get cleaned as often, but for everything else, lil bowl blu is my go to guy!
Nov. 10, 2010
This little guy rocks!
We recently switched to lil’ bowl blu – what a difference! I LOVE this guy. The smell is great and it actually cleans the toilet. What more could a girl ask for?
Nov. 5, 2010
keepin' the toity tidy!
love, love, love the smell and its effectiveness but like the fact there is no bleach in the product! do you know how many pieces of clothing I have ruined because of bleach splash?

Blu Goodness
Charmer! Once you go blue, you’ll never go back :)

lil' bowl blu does big bowl jobs
My eyes aren’t burning, my lungs aren’t convulsing … hark, how can it possibly work without toxic fumes?? I dunno, but it does. Method is Magic.

My husband loves this bowl cleaner
My husband loves this bowl cleaner and will let me know before we run out to go buy more. We have a septic tank and leech fields and it’s nice to know that we aren’t letting chemicals and bleach leech into our back yard and into our grass. This cleaner is just as good as those heavy chemical cleaners and smells wonderful!
Oct. 14, 2010
Great for septic
No horrid chemical smell – bleach = no headache :)
Works really well and is septic system friendly!

Let's arm wrestle to see who gets to clean the toilet now
There’s not really anything that will make us say “woohoo I get to clean the toilet today!” but lil bowl blue makes the job tolerable and the smell is refreshing, not chemical laden. I don’t feel like I have to clean up toxic waste after I clean the bathroom anymore. The bottle design makes it quite easy to use, too.
Oct. 13, 2010
Works as good as those bad chemicals
I love the other bathroom products and couldn’t wait to use this one too. My mom has an upstairs restroom that wasn’t used in years and the toilet developed a mineral deposit ring. I tried everything and nothing got rid of the unsightly problem stains. It did take a few days, but Method managed to chip away the years of neglect. At night I would squirt in lil’ bowl blu, brush, and let if sit. On the fourth day the bowl was back to like new, completely white and shiny.
Oct. 13, 2010
I adore this cleaner
I would highly recommend this cleaner. Not only does it look great but it works great too. Simply squirt it in the bowl & let it sit. It cleans those hard to get to stains & leaves the bowl shiny & clean. Love it!

Better than tidybowl
It smells great and cleans well. The bottle design makes it easy to use.

Smells clean not chemical-y
Does the job well and has a pleasant, gentle smell. When I walk into the bathroom it smells nice, not like a public pool.
Sep. 9, 2010
Good for you & your toilet! =)
Been using this for a few years! It’s awesome! Love that it’s earth-friendly & still does the job. Reasonably priced and smells good! Helps freshen up the bathroom!!

So great
This phrase always gets me some strange looks but: “I love the way my toilet cleaner smells!”
Sep. 8, 2010
smells great
I just started using this to clean the toilet. Gets pretty much all the gunk (with some serious scrubbing), and even my husband mentioned how great the bathroom smelled afterward.
Jul. 14, 2010
so easy
lil bowl blu literally lets me clean my toilet in less than 60 seconds of my time. i do one quick swish around the bowl, leave it to set, then come back to brush all the nastiness away. so easy!
Jul. 10, 2010
