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 dissolvable toilet cleaning solid tablet includes an anionic surfactant; virgin soap pellets; and borax, and desirably, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt; and an acid. The borax comprises about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the composition, and the virgin soap pellets comprise about 12% to about 25% by weight of the composition.
