Abstract
In a cleaning system for toilet bowls comprising a cleaning container for accommodating a cleaning preparation which is designed to be mounted on the rim of the toilet bowl and which is provided with correspondingly arranged openings for part of the flushing water to pass through, the invention enables the cleaning container to be filled with granular active substance without spillage and/or granulate to come into contact with the skin. In addition, the cleaning container is designed so that in the in-use position, its contents are substantially inaccessible to young children despite the refill facility. To this end, the cleaning container is provided with a closeable filling opening into which the mouth of a refill container adpated to the configuration of the filling opening is designed to be inserted in such a way that a pourable, more especially granular, cleaning preparation in the refill container can be poured into the cleaning container by opening the closure of the filling opening and keeping it open without any other manipulation of the closure of the cleaning container, after which the refill container may be withdrawn from the filling opening with automatic reclosing of the closure.
