unfortunately HCL is acid in nature ...and since this soil (poop) is organic in nature (was once living or came from a live person)
you will need something akaline that has a surfactant and a anti-foam agent to surpress the suds.
Acid based products will work better on non-organic soils . Rocks, copper , minerals , etc
