I have never used a toilet spray before, so it seemed a little weird to spray BEFORE you poo, but it appears this is a standard practice, so I was on board. Once I realized there is a name brand for this, I checked to compare, and this one seems a bit cheaper. I can't compare effectiveness, but this one works well, so I'm going to say it's a solid and affordable option.I do like the Dolce Bliss scent. It smells nice enough, kind of a generic pretty. I've taken this with me to work, and am thankful it's compact enough not to announce itself. We have huge industrial cans of Lysol in the bathroom stalls at our plant, which is fine, but the spray is a lot and it leaves a greasy residue. This spray only takes a couple shakes, then a couple sprays, and you're done. No residue, no fog of antibacterial spray.
