Waste of money

published

CLR is absolute garbage and doesn’t work. Got calcium off shower head with steel wool and small nail. Rust still as bright as it originally was. Expensive waste of my money and my time

CLR a waste of money

published

Tried on rust stains and glass with calcium deposit absolutely useless don't waste you money, does not do what it says on the bottle just another rip off like 30 seconds. A con that should be stopped

Does NOT do as claimed in the adds

published

We left a metal mosquito coil holder on a painted concrete fence during a rainy period. It left a series of rusty circles on the paint. CLR was a total waste of money and so expensive. Rubbed, scrubbed, soaked many times over a period of days. Rust ring still in perfect rusty condition. I will cover with a pot plant. CLR should be held accountable for their totally misleading advertising.

Doesn't work

published

Bought this and tried it out twice, followed the instructions down to the t. But this thing ended up messing up my shower head. Never again will I purchase it. Now I have to go and purchase a new shower head. This thing is not worth it at all.



Too much Hype

published

If a stain is just barely starting to show clr will clean it off but also just a damp cloth with plain water will do the same. This CLR is crap and is way overpriced and overrated!!!!

Rubbish

I tried on the kitchen sink. It’s totally useless. Waste of money and false advertising. My brown scale did not shift at all. Why are they selling this crap stating that it works. I’m not happy at all

Disapointing

published

Used product on hard water strains on front windows, did the procedure twice but it did not make a bit of difference.Very disappointed in this product, as it does not do the job.

I guess this depends on what you are using CLR for

published

Great product for cleaning the kettle, office drinking water fountain, dishwasher and washing machine. Tried it three times on a shower head with mixed results.
For what i need done its fine. Just be careful when using it in the kettle as if not 'flushed' properly there is a nasty residue and aftertaste.

Crap

published

It does very little. Biggest scam I ever saw. They should be sued for false advertising. I've tried it on multiple occasions and it doesn't work. This product should be banned.

Didn't Work On Rust Stained Toilet

published

Selling house. Toilet bowl has some rust stains at the bottom interior (you can imagine what this looks like to potential home buyers). Followed directions precisely. MAYBE the stains were a shade lighter. Trying it again, but longer...hopefully doesn't ruin the porcelain. Tried CLR 25 years ago, thought I'd give them a second chance. Lesson learned. No third chance will be given 25 years after today. I'll be dead.

Vinegar worked better than this rubbish

published

Used to remove built up lime in the shower...I followed instructions and reapplied a few times with no result whatsoever!
I then used vinegar to get it off and this was more effective than that other rubbish.

Doesn't work

I just bought this from woolies hoping that it'd clean some rust on some tools that I forgot to put away but as others say it's absolutely useless, nothing, no effect whatsoever !

My life is compete

I have just cleaned my ex rental property and what was taking me days to finish until a friend bought over some CLR. I had the floors, walls, yard done in only anfew hours ... I now use it religiously in my everyday cleaning... It has saved so much time and work .. Downfall is its a tad expensive..but I'm happy to pay for something that gives such great results ...A +++

CLR Bathroom and Kitchen action cleaner.

published

I had bad (what I expect are called) hard water deposits on the shower screens and tiles in a rental property. This property is 7 years old and has had two tenants during that time. The build up on the smooth porcelain tiles and glass was impossible (so I thought) to remove by normal means so I saw an ad on tv that addressed my problem specifically so I thought CLR was the answer. I had not used CLR before because of the cost. After 4 applications of the product in accordance with the directions on the spray container nothing had changed. There was no indication that CLR had any effect on the build up at all.
I have managed to remove the problem by using Ozclean Shower power a scouring pad and 1 1/2 hours of scrubbing each individual tile.

Absolute GARBAGE!!!!

published

Purchased this rubbish to clean Calcium, Lime and Rust scale. Sounds reasonable right??? Except for one small thing. Its useless, doesn't work, total rip-off. Okay that's more than one small thing, but you get my message.

Waste of money ... false advertising....

published

The Office of Fair Trading need to have a look at the advertising and the product. The product does not do what the advert says that it will do. A waste of money buying it.

False advertising.

published

Tried this product on shower head as per instructions and made no difference whatsoever.
Used on rust spots and didn't even look at it.
I can't understand how this product can be marketed the way it is, I will be returning to Bunnings for a refund!

Unless you have mineral deposits from hard water on your floor, there would be no good reason to use CLR like that. You might get away with it, or it might leave marks. Other products would work better, and cheaper.
