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 toilet that includes a bowl, a tank configured to hold water, and a flush valve within the tank. The flush valve includes a valve body fluidly connecting the tank and the bowl, a float moveable relative to the valve body to open and close the flush valve, and a guide member coupled to the valve body for guiding movement of the float, where the guide member includes a chamber that is configured to hold a cleaning compound including a chemical compound and water. The cleaning compound is configured to be dispensed into the bowl through the valve body with the flush valve open.

An apparatus and method for the controlled release of an active agent into an aqueous system for a prolonged duration of time are provided. Some embodiments provide an apparatus for controlling the dissolution of at least one active agent to enable an increase in active agent lifetime.

A self-cleaning toilet assembly, configured to operate in a flush mode to perform a flush cycle to clear a toilet bowl of bowl contents, and to operate in an independent on-demand cleaning mode to perform a clean cycle to clean the bowl. The toilet assembly comprises a clean cycle actuator and a chamber housing coupled to a lower tank lid. The cleaning agent chamber may be positioned in the housing in an inserted position during operation of the toilet, and may be positioned at least partially extended out of the housing in order to refill the chamber with cleaning agent.

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.

An in-toilet dissolvable cleaning tablet holder which comprises a basket structured to contain the cleaning tablet. The basket is characterized by a bottom surface and at least one side wall, each incorporating aperture cutouts to allow contact between the tablet and the toilet bowl water. The basket is connected to an arm mechanism, which is configured for attachment to the rim of a toilet. The positioning of the aperture cutouts is such that, upon installation, the perimeter of at least one of the cutouts comes into contact with the toilet bowl.

The invention relates to a solid toilet rim block, the toilet rim block including a surfactant system and a polymer, and the surfactant system being present in the total composition in an amount of less than 50 wt. %. The invention also relates to a system having such a toilet rim block.

A toilet that includes a tank configured to hold water from a water supply; a reservoir fluidly connected to the tank and configured to hold a cleaning compound comprising a chemical compound and water from the water supply; and an actuator configured to control a flush cycle of the toilet upon a first activation, the actuator including at least one nozzle fluidly connected to the reservoir and configured to discharge an amount of the cleaning compound external to the tank upon at least one of the first activation or a second activation.

A dissolver for a cleaning tablet in a water tank of a toilet includes a dissolver body arranged on a water piece inside the water tank of the toilet, where a dissolving cavity for storing and dissolving the cleaning tablet is arranged inside the dissolver body; the dissolver body is further provided with a water inlet and a water outlet which communicate with the dissolving cavity; the water inlet is connected to a water replenishing tube of a water inlet valve; the water outlet is connected to an overflow tube of a water outlet valve; and when the water inlet valve replenishes water, the water in the water replenishing tube flows into the dissolving cavity from the water inlet to dissolve the cleaning tablet, and the water after the cleaning tablet is dissolved flows into the overflow tube from the water outlet to replenish the water for the toilet.

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.
