A foaming “toilet bomb” is a pre-dosed tablet dropped into the bowl that produces foam to loosen stains and mineral buildup. Drop the tablet in, let it foam, brush while foaming if needed, then flush for a no‑mess clean.

You drop a tablet into the toilet tank; with each flush it releases cleaning and deodorizing agents into the bowl. Some products also add a visible blue tint to show the tablet is active.

Longevity varies by product and usage: some tablets are advertised to last up to about 4 months, while others are intended to last around 4 weeks per tablet.
