By: A Mum Who's Had Enough of Bathroom Battles to last a lifetime.

To be honest, there was a time I was scrubbing the loo more often than I was enjoying a cuppa on the deck.

I’m a full-time mum based in Brisbane’s southside, with two boys = one in Year 2, the other still in nappies. My husband works long hours, so most of the school runs, housework, cooking, and chaos fall to me. Between keeping the house halfway decent and surviving the Queensland heat, every day feels like a marathon.

You’d think something as "minor" as the toilet wouldn’t push me over the edge - but it did.

Especially after my toddler had his turn = it got messy, fast. Every. Single. Day.

Then I came across Blop in a mums’ Facebook group. It looked like a bit of a joke to be honest - this little thing you drop into the cistern that supposedly keeps your loo clean and fresh for months? Yeah, right. But I was exhausted and out of energy, so I gave it a go.

And honestly… it's been a game-changer.

I barely think about the toilet now - because Blop takes care of it. Hands-free, mess-free, and the kids even think it’s fun. It’s turned one of the grossest parts of the house into something I no longer dread.

Here’s what surprised me:

1. My kids actually care about the toilet now.
My eldest saw the water turn bright blue and thought it was some kind of magic. I didn’t correct him - I leaned right in. “That’s Blop doing its job, mate.” Now he reminds me when the colour fades. Who even is this child?

2. No harsh chemical stink - but it actually works.
Some toilet cleaners smell like they’re fumigating the whole bathroom. Others smell nice but do nothing. Blop somehow keeps the bowl fresh without that nasty chemical hit. I checked the ingredients too — no harsh nasties. It’s coconut oil-based with some pipe-friendly agents they’ve formulated. I actually feel good about using it around the kids.

3. One less thing on my mental load.
No spraying, no scrubbing, no fiddly clip-on baskets. You just drop Blop into the cistern and forget about it. It does the job quietly for 2-3 months. Honestly, it’s like outsourcing your toilet to a fairy godmother.

Why I’m Never Going Back

I used to think scrubbing the toilet daily was just part of being a mum. But turns out, I was just missing the right tool. And for something that costs less than my weekly coffee habit? It’s a no-brainer.

If you’re juggling nappies, school pickups, and just trying to keep the house livable - this little Blop might just become your new best mate.

You don’t need another life hack.
You need something that actually sticks around (literally… in your cistern).
