Duck Fresh Discs
Verified88 reviews
I had been using these for a while and found them to be really easy to use but the last few packs have a been a nightmare to use, the holder gets stuck so you can’t push it up to use the next lot of gel. Won’t be using them again if this keeps happening as they’re not cheap!! Show details
I have used for years, been good, but the last refill we bought is much softer and lasted 75% less . Seems they have changed the formula. Hope this isn't a money grab from a massive company. Very unsatisfactory. Show details
A good product that has turned into rubbish – The formulation has obviously changed (I assume to save costs and sell a greater volume of product) over recent months and they now dissolve very quickly. This must be the household chemical sector's version of shrinkflation. Show details

All good – So far so good. I used these over 10 years ago and forgot all about them until I recently saw them in The supermarket. I decided to try them again and I was a little confused after getting how to use the applicator after following the instructions on the pack they perfectly formed gel Popped out. Smells lovely. Some more confused with all the bad… Read more
reviews, but highly amused at some of the photos, especially the one where the applicator is stuck in the side of the gel lol.
I would Give it a zero. It was a Waste of money and time – The dispenser button is not secure. The gel does not separate properly from the canister. I would not buy this product again. Show details
Great! – It’s great and pretty simple to use. Idk how so many people are failing at putting it in. Line up the little lock with the hole, push down and boom pushes one disk out and you’ve got the next one ready to go & just pop the lid back on. Great to keep your toilet smelling clean. Show details
Big blob of pink – Husband says to me, we need some toilet duck discs as we had used the last. On a supermarket trip I purchased one. To my horror when returning home I had bought refills so couldn't use them. So on the next trip I bought one that had the holder. Drawn to the pink one 'fruitopia', thought that sounds nice! Returning home i excitedly opened the… Read more
packet to a lovely aroma of 'fruitopia'. Read the instructions on how to load the refill into the holder, managed to get the refill to first hole and after a few attempts it wouldn't budge any further. So I decided to place the open tube onto the side if the toilet and gently push the tube hoping it would click to next hole, but oh no, to my horror it just slid right to the end of the tube and almost going head first into the toilet bowl, i ended up with the biggest pink jelly blob on the side of said toilet. My bathroom certainly does smell of 'fruitopia'. Hope it lasts a month as it was a total waste of money if not. Hope I have better look when the time comes to use one of the purchased refills. Wish me luck.
Much needed scent in our loo – My favourite was the green one the scent however was overpowering for some in the house so I bought the blue one which has a lighter smell but still does its job. But now I found the orange scent and I love the smell of it is not too light and not too overpowering either. The discs I have had no issues with yet.They were on special too a bonus for me.

This is a great product – I don’t know if it works with cleaning but I use for the smell. It keeps the bathroom smelling nice and fresh. If you have trouble using the brush, take turns on each side in putting the stamps each time and you will be able to keep your toilet clean using the brush. I use it just for the smell because I am tired of using different products which… Read more
boast about different fragrances and none of them helped me keep the toilet smelling pleasant. I love the marine and the citrus. Haven’t come across to the other fragrances as yet.
Great scent always in loo! – Have been using these for years now and find them to be great. Always best to clean and dry toilet bowl before application for longer lasting effect. Sometimes degrade slightly faster during heat of Australian Summer, otherwise happy with a few weeks use per disc before needing replacement. I will continue to buy.
One of my favorite – When it s about cleaning the toilet, it s just so hard to not find it disgusting. I love byuing this product as i know i don t really need to got to close to the toilet and don t need to do anything when the product is running out. So, i love it for how simple it is to use and dispose.
Negative reviews
Product and supplier not to the standard that cannot be trusted – I have been buying that product in the past for a long time, but it's not the same, standard gone down, way way less,..... I pressed together a ring but the whole gel came out running out, melting out in one go..... I contacted them, the least they could say was that they will give me $10 purchase at my preferred shop (Coles or safeway) then no-more contacts... I already forward the photos to the supplier.

runny mess – I tried for the first time and will definitely be the last time, after placing in toilet bowl, on the second day it started running down the side of the bowl and after the third day it was basically gone, it says 6 weeks on the packaging more like 2 weeks and that is being generous, rubbish product. Show details
What a waste and useless too – Absolutely rubbish, epic fail and a waste of money. This product is just about packaging. Contents are useless. Please don’t buy, it’s not cheap and there are better products out there. Toilet duck should be ashamed to put their name to it. Show details

The performance has dropped – I used to love this product and have used it for years. However I've noticed in recent months that each disc is only lasting for about a week, whereas they used to last at least two. The adhesion to the bowl is also worse and I've found that to make it stick the bowl must be very dry. So they seem to have reformulated the product but for the… Read more
worse. The shorter life means more sales but lower value for the customer. When my refill pack is finished I'll be shifting to a different product.
Smear on the bowl – I have bought these discs since they came on the market. In early September 2023, I had bought several packs of these as I liked the fact I didn’t need to touch them and they smell nice (for a day). The new packs would not stick pretty on the bowl but would come out as a clump, sometimes 2-3 at once. I thought it was me but it kept happening… Read more
and not noticing at first it would flush away in days not weeks as specified on the pack. As these are quite expensive I decided to contact Johnson and Johnson to see if I had bought a faulty batch. They were pleased to be contacted as they wanted to improve their product and made me jump hoops for them with descriptions photos etc., not once but several times and then decided they will send me a voucher. I’ve contacted them and they reply apologetically and again send me emails with apologies but It is now the end of November and this large company has yet to keep its promise. Lol
Such a rip off ☹️ – UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO GIVE IT 1 star ⭐️ to be able to post this review. The lime one smells great. The applicator was tricky . BUT WORST OF ALL THEY ONLY LAST A FEW DAYS!!! A very expensive, pretty ineffective toilet cleanser. (There are only two of us living here & loo gets used approx 8 times a day , so it’s not from too much use) If they only cost £1 then I’d buy it again for the smell . Show details
Frustrated – Bought this for the first time. Found the instructions very difficult to follow and the tiny pictures of no use at all. Ended up with a huge blob and half the contents of the tube gone! Wouldn't buy it again. Show details
Waste of money – I have been using this product by SC Johnson for few years but since last three lots I bought ,they are inferior to earlier products in that the discs lose shape a couple of days later and starts coming off in large pieces and also "flows"down and forms a gooey sticky mess which eventually disappears with a flush,so only half get used.Previuosly… Read more
it would remain till the disc became a small one like a centimetre or so and new disc applied on top. I tried to give feedback to SC Johnson via "contact us",but they asking too many details like my date of birth(I think age should be enough), actual product codes etc which has been thrown away with the box. I dont want a refund but just let them know so they can improve or check it out. Also please forgive me as the pictures are of two toilet bowls.
So bad surprised it's still on the market – Oh yeah I tried this a long time ago and never since for years. Now I remember why ! This toilet disk thing is completely useless. A giant blob of the whole contents just plopped onto the side of my loo. Yes I was following instructions on the package. Yes I was gentle. Yes I like the fragrance. BUT the product is crap stupid, useless, nonsense, and a waste of money. DONT BUY IT, You will be sorry. Show details
Too gimmicky and hard to use – As with the many other reviewers, all the gel came out at once when I tried to use it. I tried to push some back into the tube but it was very difficult. My wife complained that the whole house was full of the smell so we cleaned it all off. She also says that it would get washed away when we clean the toilet bowl with a brush. Show details

Very dissatisfied – I can see from other reviews I had the same problem impossible to discharge one disc at a time as suggested in instructions. I too ended up with one huge blob after trying several times unsuccessfully to dislodge one disc. Glad it was on special. Not recommended though I liked the citrus smell. Show details
What a crazy dispenser – This product sounded great when I googled it. Placed the dispenser on the side of the toilet , pushed as the instructions said and whoosh.... the discs came out all at once !!! The other crazy thing is when you use these discs you then cant clean the side of the toilet bowl with a brush !! Not a product I would purchase again. Lucky it was on… Read more
special at the time. I might stick to my original bottle where you squirt gel liquid around the inside of the bowl.
Dries up so quickly practically making it useless – Dries up if you don't flush in 2 hours. Then it become completely useless. Steer away from this product. Other brands are much more durable and actually works. Put your money else where!
Not fit for purpose – Followed the somewhat unclear instructions implicitly, could not get this thing to leave a "disc" as suggested by the illustrations. The dispenser just squirts a huge uncontrolled blob of goo on the toilet bowl. tried it twice, it seemed to have run out at that point. Cleaned the mess off the bowl, threw the dispenser away. Rubbish. Cannot possibly recommend this product. Show details
Unable to load the replacement refill – Purchased twin refill but unable to load either of the refills onto the dispenser. Can only get as far as the first button. Something has changed but I can’t see what it could be. Waste of money. Very unhappy Show details
Absolute disappointment Rating Zero! – We have purchased this product for around 18 months now and always at Woolworths in Cannon Hill Qld. The last 2 occasions have been an absolute disappointment, mainly due to your packaging failures. When using the applicator it fails to stop at dispensing one dose at a time and the entire tube is spread into the toilet bowl. We decided to give your product one more try but it also was hopeless.
Why is it the flower of life in our toilet as a gel – My review is the gel that looks like the flower of life. Why is it a flower of life change the design of the gel. I do not like the flower of life being put in a toilet and washed away Show details
Who cares if the shape is a blob? – Plenty of the low level stars are complaining about how it looks. The product sticks to the bowl, lasts a while, and I like the smell of the citrus disk. And when it comes out of the dispenser, sure some it still stays inside (not half) but that will be used for the next application. The actual lid was designed to keep that in mind. Its not like the thing is wasted. These people just do not read the instructions. Show details
Terrible – The idea is good however the product is bad. Most of the gel stays in the bottom of the applicator & only a tiny amount sticks to the toilet. Then if you press the button again nothing more comes out. How ever after the 3rd click you get a big splodge. Maybe they should rename it duck splodge and advertise 2 uses instead of the apparent 6!
A teeny tiny blob of goo – The product is supposed to leave a gel disc. It leaves a tiny blob. Then using the next hole leaves just a greater blob, but most of the gel stays within the dispenser. Then putting the cap back on doesn't really work as there's a heap of leftover gel that didn't adhere to the toilet bowl. Previous Aldi disc worked way better however didn't… Read more
last long so the drawcard of the Toilet Duck brand was that each disc lasts 7 weeks.... unsure how to gauge that when a proper disc doesn't get dispensed!
Lavender?? – Has made my apartment smell like a toxic waste dump - even with the lid down when not in use. Definitely doesn’t smell like lavender. The applicator and concept however seem like a good idea.
