Lysol Cling Clip-On 2in1 Toilet Bowl Freshener and Cleaner
When I moved into my new house, the previous tenants left behind several unopened packages of Lysol toilet clings. Since I had not used them previously (the item is over packaged and is not a particularly eco-friendly way to add scent to the bathroom), I was interested in giving my freebies a try. 
Once you rip open the the plastic on the (recyclable) cardstock, it’s super intuitive to figure out where to place the scented cling into the toilet. There are also directions on the back of the card to help you determine the most effective placement inside the toilet bowl rim.
I found the scent lasts several weeks. The smell is fresh without being cloying or overwhelming, so that’s a big plus.
My only beef with the product is how much waste is created to add a nice smell. A highly-scented candle does the same thing, lasts longer and looks nice as decor/ambiance in the bathroom. I also use scented oils placed in glass jars with balsam reeds to diffuse scent - those can actually last many months, especially if you turn the reeds every few days - and are refillable.
Since the product is made by Lysol and is marketed as a cleanser/deodorizer, I would imagine that some helpful cleaning power comes from using the cling. Watching the flushing action, I am not convinced extra cleaning *does* occur. But it does *smell* clean!
My recommendation - buy three or four of these to keep in your linen closet: grab and use just before guests come over. The bright fresh scent will convince your guests that you keep things clean and tidy. Just wipe down the toilet and insert the cling!
