A cleaning implement comprises an erodible foam substrate, such as a melamine foam substrate and a controlled release system comprising an active agent. The controlled release system comprises a component selected from the group consisting of a polymer matrix, a microcapsule, a particulate porous carrier, a complexing agent, a semi-permeable film and a combination thereof and the active agent is selected from the group consisting of a surfactant, a bleaching agent, a limescale reducing agent, a biocide, a solvent and a mixture thereof.

Cleaning implement with erodible foam substrate and controlled release system of active agent

The present invention envisages a cleaning implement comprising a melamine foam preferably having a thickness of at least about 5 mm and a perfume source, processes for making them and methods for using them.

According to the present invention there is provided a wet wipe comprising a substrate that has tensile strength of at least 5 N/inch and which is biodegradable. In a further aspect, the present invention provides a flushable wet wipe comprising a substrate having a loading factor of at least 1.5 grams of cleaning composition per gram of substrate and which is biodegradable. The wet wipes is suitable for cleaning hard surfaces, especially lavatories and is flushable.

Flushable hard surface cleaning wet wipe

The present invention encompasses a method for increasing the hydrophobicity of at least parts of a lavatory bowl surface comprising the steps of repeatedly applying to at least parts of said lavatory bowl surface a solution comprising less than 30 ppm of a surface modifying polymer.
