It work, it works, it works!!! Finally, a product that works… I have gone through many different products trying to find something that will help clean these toilet stains, finally I tried Edfred. After following the appplication directions I waited 10 minutes, went around the toilet once with a toilet brush, flushed and Voila… it is sparkling clean!!!

Sharon,
We received your toilet bowl before and after pictures and posted them on the “Before & After Photos” page. Your name is credited on the photo names which you can see when you place your mouse cursor on them.
Thanks for taking the time to share these with the rest of us.
Dear EDFred,
I found the driveway cleaner totally ineffective. Please contact me to return the remaining four bottles that I purchased.
Thank you,
Phil Littell
Phil,
Ouch! Hate to hear that. We sell a lot of that product, especially through Orchard Supply Hardware. Driveway oil soaks deep into concrete, so if the stains have been there a long time it will continue to “wick” up from the pores and require several cleanings.
It is also true that because of the environmentally friendly formula it simply cannot work as fast as the toxic petroleum solvents we all were accustomed to using that melt oil stains away.
But in any case if it did not meet your expectation we will gladly accept the return. I will email you instructions.
I see that you purchased the Cling N Clean Toilet Bowl Cleaner too, how did that work for you?
We have used EDFRED for years, and this product never failed! The secret is to attack the oil right away not let it set for months. Our driveway looks like the day it did when we bought it 30 years ago.
To Phil & anyone else who’s interested…EdFred’s products are wonderful… ESPECIALLY the driveway cleaner!
I can’t imagine someone saying they don’t like them. In fact, the driveway cleaner was so incredibly effective that after the 1st time I used it, I took the time to write to the owner of the company (way before BLOG days) to tell him thanks for developing a product that worked wonders & kept our environment clean. I had used the driveway cleaner on my backpatio & driveway to get up old rust stains & all kinds of marks that were there for a long time. The product was incredibly effective! Try it; you’ll like it!
When I moved to VA 22 years ago, I brought from California my EDFRED Tile and Shower cleaner. Here in VA, the dirt is red clay and after a while in our new house, the tile grout was red…your product took it all out without scrubbing. I have had a hard time finding this product here. I had a little left and used the last of it (20 years old product) in my daughters bathroom and her tiles and grout look like brand new. I have never ever found a product that not only cleans for real, but without having to scrub.
You should see the difference in my daughters tile grout…but she has three bathrooms and I only had enough for one. Her shower is terrible and I know your product will do the job. Thanks so much for the info.
Terri,
Send some pictures in and we will post them.
Thanks for the shipment. I’m lovin my EDFRED!! Can i use what i purchased
for a driveway as well, or do i need to purchase the driveway cleaner? My
husbands truck had a major leak of tranny fluid, and my driveway is very
slippery, and i see some oil stains which i never had before. HELP!!!
I am assuming you are referring to the Shower Stall & Tile Cleaner. The driveway cleaner is a completely different formula designed for grease, fat and oil.
You can buy online, even just a trial size to test it if you want. Let us know your results.

I live in Orland Ca. and just tried your product. WOW I am in love!!! This product is FANTASTIC thank you for it.
EDFRED, “I think I love you!” This cleaner took all soap scrum off my shower tiles and was so easy to use.
I have used EdFred for years and can purchase it at home in CA…can’t find it here in NM so decided to order it for my host who has a toilet that he can’t get lime deposits out of. I assured him “This will get it out!”
Just to let you know that lime-deposit-encrusted toilet here in Tularosa NM is now spotless! Wendell said, “That stuff’s a miracle…I had tried everything on the market.” My reply, “I told you it would work!!” Thanks.

Have tried to find products in Houston but couldn’t; decided to go on-line to see if you had a website. Luckily you DID! Yeah! Your products are wonderful! Thanks – Sue Morris
Hope that you continue to be around for many more years…good products, good service and good employees. I placed an order with you all yesterday and it is due to ship shortly. Then I will be back in business…feel like I found a long lost friend. Cordially, Sue
Since 2001, I have been a huge fan of EdFred’s Kling n’ Clean toilet bowl cleaner. I was having a party and had tried everything to clean the calcium and lime deposit ring around my toilets. A few days before a party, I decided I would remove the rings with a scouring pad, but that did nothing but add black marks to the ring. I asked a co worker what she used, since I never heard her complaining about this problem with her toilets. She just smiled and told me she would bring me the solution tomorrow. True to her word, she brought me a bottle of EdFred. I went home that evening, followed the directions, and could not believe that with a swish of the toilet brush the calcium and lime ring stains were gone. I have not used anything else since. Thank you for your amazing products! (This review is also posted at http://www.edfredstore.com)
Don’t ever stop making your products. if you do, let me know. I will buy a case or two. The best toilet bowl cleaner ever made! Now I know about some other products you make and I will try them too! I am a very happy customer. (Also posted review for Cling N Clean Toilet Bowl Cleaner on shopping cart.)
Thank you,
Sue Moorhead
Thank you for such loyal support.
We have no plans to discontinue any products. They been popular for the last 45 years, were are hoping for another 45!
But as always we are dependent on friends telling friends. Also parents telling their children, to raise up the next generation of our no less than fanatical users.
Thank you. I am currently retiring my years of employment at a University to launch my Professional Organizing business…Fly Away Clutter. I will most certainly recommend your product to my clients. I can’t believe how good my floor looks. One would have thought my grout was dark gray when in fact it is white and now shines white! Is there ways for me to get samples of all your products.
Thank you
Rose,
The Shower Stall & Tile Cleaner that your ordered is amazing as a dingy white grout cleaner. For that lime or calcium hard water ring on your toilet bowl be sure to try our Cling N Clean.
You can order the 2 oz trial sizes at the online store, link at top of page. We usually have a special running on those where we pay the shipping.

Want to hear my story about Ed, Fred, & me? OK!
Thirty-plus years ago I was a stay at home mom. For extra spending money I decided to do a little housekeeping a couple of days a week. A couple of my customers were “dairy folks” in Chino, CA. They used Edfred for their showers and so I began using it.
My business grew quite a bit (people love having a clean-freak for a housekeeper) And this clean freak loved Edfred. I bought it at Fedco, which has been out of business for years now. I guess I just never knew where to buy it after Fedco closed because I haven’t used it for many years.
Well, my husband now, God love him, refuses to squeegee a shower and my clear glass doors look spotted all the time and the products I buy smell horrible and burn my eyes. As I was driving to work the other day I thought about Edfred! I wondered if it was still available and knew if it was I could find it on the internet!! (I love that!)
So Ed, Fred and I are reunited and I have already sold it to my boss who has a boat, my co-worker and one of our customers who does housekeeping! I called her the minute I found it on-line. That’s why I ordered six, plus I wanted the discount (Well, it paid for the shipping!) The price is way up since 1980, but I know it
will be worth it!
Hey! if you need a rep in So Cal, I’m your gal!!
Thanks for the great story. Don’t forget to try the toilet bowl cleaner too. Toss the pumice stone for those hard water rings.
I can think of only 2 improvements:
1, Add a lemon, grapefruit, orange or some other citrusy scent.
2, Add PayPal as a payment option at the online store.
Thanks for the suggestions.
PayPal added!
Also can use checking account and most other credit cards.
Just an FYI – I lived in Los Gatos/San Jose area for 37 years – consider it my home. Live in Austin now and MISS Orchard Supply Hardware very much. But, another friend who lives here and is also from San Jose is the one who told me about your product (hence, my recent purchase).
She has family there that usually buys it and brings it to her when they visit. I am going to give her a couple of bottles of the Toilet Bowl Cleaner so she can try it and possibly pass it on to her daughter.
Hopefully they will like it enough to buy it also – now that we know about the website, life is easier!
Love Edfred!
I’ve used this product for over 21 years and it has made my life so much easier.
I just wish the Wal-Mart stores in Reno, Nevada would carry this product.
Everyone should know about this amazing product if you have well water. Removes the red iron and lime deposits.
Thanks,
Linda Peevers
I live in Dallas, Texas and have tried to locate a retailer where I can buy the toilet cleaner and shower cleaner. My mother-in-law swears by your product and has me wanting to try it, too!
Yes, I did find a local Ace (and talked to the right
person) who is pulling it from the warehouse for me. Thanks for taking the
time to get back with me.
Since living in San Antonio, Texas since 1986, I have found only two products that work on our very hard water stains.Edfred Shower Stall & Tile Cleaner and Edfred Toilet Bowl Cleaner.
All the other products that I tried appear to work, until after the tile drys and there still is soap scum..with one application of the Tile cleaner my shower and bath tub are clean to the bone. There is no need for multiple applications. Edfred Toilet Bowl Cleaner- also cuts through the hard water “ring” with one dose.
I love this product so much I buy it and have it shipped to my house in San Antonio, because no one in the area carries it anymore….don’t mess with the rest..try the best…Edfred….karen king
I have four houses and I don’t know how many bath toilets to clean. I just put your cleaner in each bowl and leave for two hours. Then I come back and quickly brush and flush – all toilet bowl rust or lime water ring is gone. My review has also been posted on edfredstore.com. It is the only product that works in the whole world.
Please contact DoIt Center in Valencia, CA and confirm that they still carry your products.
Mrs. Best,
We asked DoIt Centers to get back to verify their stock. We will update our site with their response when we receive it.
