Ty-D-Bol is an American brand of toilet cleaner that was introduced in 1958. In its original format, the product is a blue cleanser/disinfectant liquid released into the toilet tank from an automatic dispenser.

The brand has changed owners repeatedly; Willert Home Products[1] of Saint Louis, Missouri, which acquired the brand in 2010, currently manufactures Ty-D-Bol in South St. Louis.[2]

The company is best known for its nautical spokesperson, the Ty-D-Bol Man, who piloted a boat inside the toilet tank in TV commercials from 1968 to 1984.
