Self-adhesive lavatory treatment compositions comprise an adhesion promoter based on a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether as may be represented by the following structural formula (I):
ROCH.sub.2CH.sub.2O.sub.nH(I)
within which, R is an C.sub.12-C.sub.24 aliphatic mono- or poly-alkene moiety, and n has a value of from 1 to 50, an organic solvent constituent, a surfactant, and water.

A self-adhering cleaning block is disclosed. In some embodiments, the self-adhering cleaning block includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a handle extending out from a part of the second surface, where the material composition of the block may be essentially uniform, and where the material composition of the block may further comprise a non-ionic surfactant and a liquid component. In addition, a cleaning article including a self-adhering cleaning block is disclosed. Moreover, a method is disclosed. In certain examples the method comprises mixing a non-ionic surfactant and a liquid component to form an essentially uniform cleaning composition, and then extruding, pressing or casting the cleaning composition to form a cleaning block having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a handle extending out from a part of the second surface.

A cleaning device for a toilet includes a housing, a reservoir disposed in the housing, the reservoir configured to store a cleaning compound, a lid rotatably coupled to the housing and configured to selectively provide access to the reservoir, and at least one opening configured to conduct a flow of water into the reservoir or conduct a flow of cleaning solution from the reservoir.

Toilet basket (1) for receiving solid or gelled preparations having at least one container (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) for receiving at least one preparation (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d), the container (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) positionable below the toilet rim so that flushing water can flow over it when the toilet is flushed, and at least one inlet opening (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) and one outlet opening (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) shaped in the container wall (7) for the flushing water; a holder (2) for mounting the toilet basket (1) on the bowl rim; a flushing water distributing element (8) arranged and configured on the toilet basket (1) so that the flushing water distributing element (8) is impinged upon by flushing water upon flushing, and an equalized delivery of flushing water into the inlet opening (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the container (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) is produced.

A dispenser for flowable materials includes a tube having a tube interior cavity, an open proximal end, and a distal end having a dispensing orifice. A dividing wall extends along the tube interior cavity and divides the tube into a plurality of chambers. A first flowable material is positioned in a first of the chambers. At least one additional flowable material is positioned in another of the chambers. Each of a plurality of pistons is seated in a proximal end of one of the chambers. A handle includes a plurality of pusher bars, with each pusher bar engaging one of the pistons. When one of the handle and the tube is received in the other of the handle and the tube, the handle and tube move coaxially with respect to one another, and the pistons force the flowable materials from each of the chambers out of the dispensing orifice.

A scrubbing tool system includes a handle, a moldable and dissolvable cleaning head, and a storage and molding device. The handle is for holding by a user in a cleaning operation and has a projecting portion. The moldable and dissolvable cleaning head has a cavity to mate with the projecting portion to attach the cleaning head to the handle. The cleaning head is made of a moldable material that dissolves in water and includes a cleaning agent. The storage and molding device is movable from a storing position to a shaping position to attach the cleaning head to the handle. The storage and molding device has a base, a receiving surface, and a plurality of shaping tabs that connect the receiving surface and the base. The shaping tabs curve up from the receiving surface, thereby forming with the receiving surface a cup in which the cleaning head is received.

A toilet bowl hygiene apparatus 100, that makes use of a low volume of plastic for waste reduction purposes, is comprised of a body of hygiene substance 2, a support member 4, at least one engagement member 6, and an adhesive tape 8 extending from the support member 4 for attachment to a toilet bowl at a point above the body of hygiene substance. The at least one engagement member 6 is coupled to, or integrally formed with, the support member 4 and extends from the support member 4 into and/or through the body of hygiene substance 2. The presently described exemplary embodiment the at least one engagement member 6 includes an upwardly extending blade portion 6a and a downwardly extending blade portion 6b.

A system for applying a flowable material to a surface that includes an applicator and a storage pod is disclosed. The storage pod may have a housing and a lid that engage each other to form an interior cavity that contains a flowable material. The applicator receives the storage pod and has a pusher mechanism to apply a force to the housing causing the housing to collapse. As the housing collapses, the flowable material is expelled from the storage pod. The applicator may be a reusable applicator where the storage pods can be used and reloaded, or a single use disposable applicator.
