Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I'm very happy with this product!" —Jenelle

Pardo Naturals, a Black woman-owned small business established by Rita Pardo, specializes in crafting natural products for body, hair, and home care.
Mytour Shopping editor Melanie Aman shares: "For those who dread toilet cleaning — myself included — these dissolving tablets are a game-changer for tackling a dirty bowl. While the tablets can be tricky to remove from their plastic packaging (which ensures they stay secure during shipping and arrive intact), once you get one out, simply drop it into the toilet and let it work its magic. It begins fizzing like a bath bomb, breaking down stains and streaks within 10 minutes, making them easy to wipe away with minimal effort. I don’t let my toilet get too dirty (and with only two people in my apartment, buildup is slow), so I can’t speak to their effectiveness on deeply set hard water stains or long-neglected toilets. However, if you’re aiming to replace harsh chemicals in your cleaning routine, these tablets are a fantastic option."
Purchase a pack of six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents).
