Stix™ Bowl Cleaner

Product Overview

Stix™ Bowl Cleaner by Betco is a professional mild-acid restroom cleaner formulated with 20% phosphoric acid, detergents, and wetting agents. Its thickened, ready-to-use formula clings to restroom surfaces to help remove hard-water mineral deposits, scale, rust, lime, soap scum, body oils, grease, and general restroom soil. 

Unlike heavy-duty hydrochloric-acid bowl cleaners such as Kling™ and Pull®, Stix™ uses phosphoric acid as a milder acid alternative, making it suitable for a broader range of restroom-cleaning applications including toilets, urinals, porcelain sinks, bathtubs, shower stalls, and compatible shower tile.

Directions for Use

For toilets and urinals, flush the fixture, open the pour spout approximately 45°, and squeeze the bottle to coat surfaces beneath the bowl rim. Allow the product to remain for 10 minutes, scrub all surfaces with a bowl swab, paying particular attention beneath the rim, then flush thoroughly.

For sinks, bathtubs, shower stalls, and drinking fountains, apply the cleaner thoroughly with a bowl swab, sponge, brush, or cloth and rinse with water after cleaning. Always follow the current product label and verify compatibility with the surface before use.

Why Choose Stix™ Bowl Cleaner?

Stix™ Bowl Cleaner provides a strong balance between cleaning performance and acid intensity. Its 20% phosphoric-acid formula effectively tackles rust, scale, hard-water deposits, soap scum, grease, and body oils while its thickened consistency helps keep the cleaner in contact with the surface. 

For professional janitorial teams, Stix™ is particularly useful when a mild-acid restroom cleaner is preferred over stronger hydrochloric-acid formulations. Its multi-surface application and pleasant cherry-almond fragrance make it a versatile choice for commercial and institutional restroom maintenance.
