HurriClean Review
HurriClean is a pour-in toilet cleaner. While drop-in toilet cleaning products have existed for decades, HurriClean is a one-time use packet of “real fruit acids and washing sodas” which supposedly clean your tank and bowl with a single flush. Although it sounds too good to be true, it might actually work if your expectations are realistic and the type of water in your area cooperates.
Unlike common toilet bowl disks which last hundreds or thousands of flushes, HurriClean is a one-time use powder which is poured into the toilet’s tank. After it foams, you’ll let it sit for at least six hours, then flush. How much improvement your tank shows will vary greatly. The bowl probably benefit as much, but that will depend on the kind of stains present there.
Mold, iron stains, and hard water stains should be reduced in some cases. If you don’t find that the first treatment works, you may want to extend the amount of time that HurriClean remains in the tank before flushing – or perhaps pour all three packets in for a “shock” treatment.
Because HurriClean soaks in the tank, that is where you should expect the most improvement. It merely flows over the bowl once, and may not provide as much deep cleaning there as in the tank.
HurriClean can be found in stores and on Amazon, where it holds a rather unimpressive 2.4 star rating among online reviewers. There seems to be a rather wide range of opinions on whether or not this product actually works. I have heard that it “did nothing” as well as some who said it “is a very good product.” The differences in opinion seem to be affected by the amount and type of of buildup in the tank, as well as the type of water in your area.
As you can see in my video below, I was able to get two flappers which were covered in a green buildup to revert to white, although the sediment in the bottom and the bowl didn’t show much improvement.
If your expectations are realistic, you may find that HurriClean gets the job done, and at least improves your toilet tank. From reading various reviews, it is obvious that a wide array of opinions exist on HurriClean. In my case, I saw some cleaning occur in the tank, but no improvement in the bowl. I assume that minerals and water hardness may play a key role in HurriClean’s effectiveness.
If you’re on the fence, you can find HurriClean in some stores for about $10 for a three pack, which should allow you to try it without much of an investment.
Alternatives
There aren’t many tank drop in products like this, although some customers have had luck with Clorox Control Bleach Crystals, which can be used for a wide variety of applications.

Revised March 2017.
Just wondering if you put a little in the bowl and the rest in the tank, if that might make a difference for the bowl ring?
I think that’s what I’d try, why not, couldn’t hurt!!!!
It works like crap
Did a great job on the tank BUT nothing for the bowl. And how can it since it has no contact until you flush and then zip!! it is gone without a chance todo anything. I am sorry I bought it. I DO like Gladys’ question, tho.
I bought Hurriclean, followed directions. It ddn’t foam at all and my water is not hard nor does it have a lot of minerals (Chicago regular water). It didn’t whiten anything, it was a total waste of money
Save your $$$$$ Go buy some vinegar for cheap and it will do a better job. This product does NOT deliver!!!
Wow thanks for showing how it works. After seeing that, I would probably try pouring the powder in the toilet bowl, if I had a way of blocking the water – to make the level of the water go up to the rim. A wadded up old shower curtain, or similar object. Then taking it out before flushing. The toilet I’m trying to whiten is badly stained from the water line up (rent house)
To get the sediment out of the bottom of the tank, get a long handle cleaning brush and sweep the sediment toward the flapper, as you flush. Then pour 1/4 cup of bleach after wards and just let it sit for 30 minutes.
Bleach will deteriorate the seal between the tank and the bowl. There is no fix for that other than a new toilet. Never use bleach in the tank!
This product did not perform as advertised for me. It did not foam in the flush tank to clean the sides up to the top of the flush tank, but the rest of the flush tank was cleaned. When flushed it did not perform,as shown in the advertisement, on the jets on the side of the bowl. I used all three (3) packets at various times in one (1) comode and it still has stains. I also tried some in the bowl and the rest (about 2/3) in the flush tank. I received NO JOY from this product.
I was and am euphorious with the results! I live in a state with high iron in our ground water. I had a toilet tank that was black. I used 3 packets at once in the tank only. Left in overnight & wah-lah…in the morning it was clean. The bowl was glistening and 3 month’s later, still is! I’m amazed and find myself bragging about it to all you’ll listen.
After months of reduced flushing to save water during the drought, uncleanable crud built up in the bowl. No matter what I tried to clean it with, nothing worked. I used one packet of HurriClean directly in the bowl and it did an incomplete job. Then I poured three packets directly in the bowl and it cleaned it completely. I think the trick to clean the bowl is pouring it directly in the bowl.
