ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a toilet bowl cleaner, by which is meant a manual device by means of which the flushed interior surfaces of a toilet bowl may be cleansed of any adhering faecal or like soiling matter.
DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
Toilet cleaners are known in the form of brushes with angled heads of stiff bristles. After use, the brush is intended to be inserted in a stand which usually shrouds the brush head.
The disadvantage of using such known brushes is the difficulty of removing soil from the brush head after use. If the flow of flushing water has stopped or lessened before the brush head has been rinsed clean, the delay in waiting for the cistern to refill is such as to discourage users from cleansing the brush with a second flush. Thus the brush may be replaced on its support while imperfectly clean, leading to aesthetic and sanitary objections.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention aims at overcoming this problem by using a toilet bowl cleaner having a detachable head for preferably one-time use, and which is preferably disposable down the toilet in the manner of tampons.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a toilet bowl cleaner which is as claimed in the appended claims.
