Abstract

A toilet cleanser dispenser system includes a compartment for containing a cleansing agent, a housing at least partially enclosing the compartment, and a refill tube. A first portion of refill water is directed from a fill valve directly to an overflow tube through the refill tube, while a second portion of refill water is diverted to the housing. The second portion of refill water comes in contact with the cleansing agent forming a cleanser solution. The cleansing solution is then directed from the housing to the refill tube. The cleansing agent compartment is isolated with at least one water trap.
