The lavatory basket includes a container for holding and selectively dispensing the cleaning agent, and a securing element extending therefrom. The container is configured to be releasably attached to a concave upper surface of the closure cap of the refill bottle by means of a projection tab on the closure cap in locking engagement with a corresponding recess in a wall of the container. A releasable connection is provided between the securing element and the refill bottle assembly to further secure the container to the refill bottle assembly.
