A cleaning system includes a handling tool for a dissolvable cleaner block. The handling tool includes a wand and a retainer arrangement attached to the wand and moveable between a retaining position and a releasing position. The retainer arrangement is configured for removably attaching the wand to the dissolvable cleaner block when in the retaining position. The retainer arrangement is configured for releasing the dissolvable cleaner block when in the releasing position. The retainer arrangement includes at least one selectively moveable engagement member that removably engages the dissolvable cleaner block in the retaining position. Furthermore, the handling tool includes a sealing member that is attached to the wand and that is configured to seal against the dissolvable cleaner block when engaged with the retainer arrangement to impede liquid intrusion toward the retainer arrangement.

Compositions are provided for dissolvable solid unit dose formulations that can be used with a wand apparatus to clean a toilet surface. The formulations include anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, an organic acid, and virgin soap pellets wherein a ratio of the virgin soap pellets to the surfactant is from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1, preferably about 1:1 to about 1.5:1, and most preferably about 1.2:1 to 1.3:1. Compressed compositions retain sufficient hardness to facilitate cleaning a toilet surface but are still able to have a time to breakage when submerged in toilet water of less than 5 minutes to enable easy disposal by flushing with toilet water.

Dissolvable toilet brush formulations having beneficial ratios of soap to surfactant

A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The unit dose contains at least 20% by weight anionic surfactant, organic acid, and an organic acid buffering agent, and desiccant and is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning. A kit contains a plurality of the tablets and a wand.

Dissolvable toilet brush formulations with desiccant and free of cohesion polymer

A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The composition contains an anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, an organic acid, and about 10% to about 40% by weight polyethylene glycol having molecular weight greater than 3,350. A unit dose of the composition is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning.

Dissolvable toilet brush formulations containing polyethylene glycol

A dissolvable unit dose toilet cleaning composition for use with a wand. The unit dose contains surfactant, an organic acid, an organic acid buffering agent, and a dye system including a desiccant, a water-soluble dye, and optionally a colorant. The composition is compressed into a tablet or puck wherein at least 30% dissolves in 10 minutes when submerged in toilet water. Upon exposing a surface of the unit dose composition to water in the toilet, the water-soluble dye colors the water in the toilet. Pressing the wetted surface of the unit dose composition to a surface of the toilet, the water-soluble dye colors the surface of the toilet.

Dissolvable toilet brush formulations with desiccant and dye system to indicate cleaning

Disclosed is a unit dose laundry detergent product containing an in-vitro, delayed onset fluid gel detergent composition and a water soluble film pouch for enclosing the detergent composition. The composition includes a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate and/or an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C-Cbackbone that is ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, and a non-ionic surfactant comprising an alkoxylated alcohol, in an amount from 20 to 70 wt %, water in an amount from about 10 to about 30 wt %, free fatty acids in an amount from about 2 to 12 wt %, a magnesium cation in an amount of from 0.15 to 1 wt %, and colloidal particles such as an encapsulated fragrance. The composition is opacified and structured yet free of a structuring agent or an opacifying agent. Also disclosed is a method of making such product.
