A cleaning element carrier for a toothbrush in a form of a disk has a back surface including a central depression covering at least 70% of the back surface and forming an edge at the border. The carrier's front surface includes at least one protrusion so that the front surface comprises two levels, wherein the area covered by the depression is larger than the area covered by the protrusion.

An oral care implement comprises a head with a plurality of cleaning elements, the head comprising a chamber. The oral care implement may include a reflective or refractive membrane positioned within the chamber. A light source may also be positioned within the chamber such that light from the light source is directed at the reflective or refractive membrane. The oral care implement may also include a head plate with a plurality of tooth cleaning elements coupled thereto, the head plate positioned over the chamber. The light from the light source may be emitted through the head plate. In some embodiments the oral care implement may be a toothbrush. In other embodiments the oral care implement may be non-toothbrush type implements that include a body forming a chamber within which the lighting components are positioned.

A toilet cleaner, including a head and a handle for clamping the head. The handle includes a housing, a manipulation component, and a clamping jaw. A clamping end of the housing is provided with a first clamping head and is hinged to a middle portion of the clamping jaw. The manipulation component is fitted in the housing and includes a handling portion at a grip end of the housing. An outer end of the clamping jaw has a second clamping head corresponding to the first clamping head, and the manipulation component is connected to an inner end of the clamping jaw, so that the first clamping head and the second clamping head are matched with each other. The present invention is more firm and reliable with better compatibility, so that the handle can conveniently and reliably clamp the heads in different thicknesses, or of various brands, forms or specifications.

An agitator that is rotatably arranged in a suction head of a vacuum cleaner and includes flexible cleaning elements arranged on a core element for touching a surface to be cleaned. The cleaning elements are arranged along the length of the agitator in a cleaning field, where the cleaning field is interrupted by at least one air passage that is to enable an airflow between internal edges of the cleaning field delimiting the at least one air passage. Outside of the at least one air passage, the cleaning elements are arranged at close range relative to each other whereby an airflow between the cleaning elements is disabled or at most enabled to a significantly smaller extent than at the position of the at least one air passage.
