The Day emoji® Told Our Story
In December 2024, something pretty special happened. emoji® featured Blop on its official website, sharing our story, our product, and the thinking behind our collaboration.
For a young Australian brand making in-tank toilet bowl cleaners shaped like poop emojis, this was huge. Like, properly huge.
Let us tell you why this matters.
emoji® Is Kind of a Big Deal
emoji® is one of the most recognizable and universally understood brands in the world. Seriously. It represents expression, emotion, and connection through the simplest visual language that transcends cultures, languages, and borders.
When you see the poop emoji (💩), you instantly get it. It's playful, it's cheeky, it's universally recognized. That's the power of emoji®.
From the very beginning, Blop was built on a similar belief: everyday products don't have to be boring, cold, or purely functional.
Bathrooms are part of daily life. Cleaning them should feel easy, approachable, and even a little bit joyful. That shared philosophy is what brought Blop and emoji® together.
Getting Featured by emoji® Directly
In December 2024, emoji® published an article on its official website highlighting Blop as a licensed collaboration. They showcased how the iconic emoji aesthetic can be translated into a practical, everyday household product.
For us, being featured directly by emoji® was more than just exposure or marketing. It was recognition.
It affirmed that Blop isn't just slapping a familiar image on a product and calling it a day. We're respecting the emoji brand, building thoughtfully around it, and applying it in a way that feels genuine and useful.
We're not borrowing credibility. We're earning it by creating a toilet cistern cleaner that actually works while maintaining the playful, approachable spirit that emoji® represents.
More Than Just a Cheeky Design
While the poop emoji design gives Blop its instantly recognizable look (and let's be honest, makes people smile), the product itself is built on serious thought and careful development.
Blop is designed to:
- Clean consistently with every flush for up to 900 flushes
- Be gentle on modern toilet systems (no harsh acids or bleach)
- Reduce the need for frequent manual scrubbing
- Fit seamlessly into everyday routines
- Work as one of the best toilet cleaners for septic tanks
The collaboration with emoji® allows us to communicate these benefits in a way that feels friendly and intuitive without losing credibility or performance.
The poop emoji isn't a gimmick. It's a visual language that makes toilet cleaning less intimidating and more approachable. It says "hey, we know this isn't glamorous, but we can make it easier and maybe even fun."
Why This Partnership Matters (The Honest Version)
As a young Australian brand, being acknowledged by an iconic global brand like emoji® is both an honor and a responsibility.
It reminds us to:
Stay true to our original intention: We created Blop to make toilet cleaning less annoying. That mission hasn't changed, and it won't.
Balance function and personality: The product has to work brilliantly. The personality is what makes it memorable. Both matter equally.
Build trust through transparency: We're not hiding behind the emoji brand. We're being upfront about what Blop is, how it works, and why we made it this way.
Respect the partnership: emoji® trusted us with their iconic imagery. We take that seriously, even while being playful.
This collaboration isn't about novelty or jumping on a trend. It's about proving that playful design and reliable performance can coexist in toilet cleaning products.
What Makes Blop Different from Other Drop In Toilet Cleaners
If you're comparing Blop to other toilet cleaning blocks or toilet cistern cleaners, here's what sets us apart:
Licensed emoji® partnership: We're not using knockoff images. This is an official collaboration with proper licensing and respect for the brand.
Thoughtful formulation: One of the best toilet cleaners for septic tanks because we use gentle, coconut-derived ingredients instead of harsh chemicals.

The emoji® partnership elevates all of this by giving Blop a visual identity that's instantly recognizable and universally understood.
