Abstract
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.
