Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a new toilet bowl scrubber.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 8,505,150 describes a sponge product for cleaning a work surface includes an open-cell melamine foam body layer having a front wall, rear wall, first sidewall or second sidewall that is inclined and at an acute angle relative to the upper surface of the body layer. An abrasive layer is adjacent the upper surface of the melamine foam body layer forming a unitary product. The abrasive layer has at least one of the front wall, rear wall, first sidewall or second sidewall forming an obtuse angle with the lower surface of the abrasive layer, and the abrasive layer upper surface and at least one front wall, rear wall, first sidewall or second sidewall forms a working edge having an acute angle, and the working edge remains flat against the work surface when a force is applied to the sponge product.[0005]The pad...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a toilet bowl scrubber that is easy to use and store. This means that the toilet bowl scrubber should be designed in a way that it is convenient and can be easily stored without taking up too much space.

Problems solved by technology

The pad is made of polyester, which is not bio-degradable, or eco-friendly.

One side of the pad is covered in and adhesive, which makes it difficult or impossible to rinse out, thus it is not bio-degradable and is thrown away in landfills.

The adhesive leaves the pad stiff and will easily break down.

The adhesive will break down after rinsing in clean water, making it difficult to reattach to the handle.

This makes it expensive and unnecessary to purchase.

This can cause scratching of the surface if it were to come into contact.

This handle does not offer any extension leaving the cleaner to needed added equipment like a ladder, step stool, which added work making the task of cleaning a working surface taking longer in time and use added energy.

These handles do not have a comfortable grip leaving them awkward to hold while cleaning a working surface.

This takes added time to the task of cleaning the working surface, bowl, sink.

The shape of this product is limited and can only cover a small portion of any working surface, which limits what working surfaces you can clean effectively.

This product remains flat against the working surface when force is applied, which will cause water, soap, and the abrasive to drip down leaving marks on other parts of the working surface.

This creates more work if part of the working surface gets wet with soap and abrasive.

The abrasive is made of a non bio-degradable chemical leaving this a product that is not bio-degradable and remains toxic.

Foam does not cut through many types of greases and oils needing to use more pads and foam for many surfaces, as well as not be able to clean to desired satisfaction.

Foam always needs to be rinsed with clean water or the foam will leave a residue leaving the working surface unsightly.

This causes the scrubber to smell and spread germs.

This product is held together with metal, which can scratch the toilet bowl or working surface.

The bristles will break down exposing the metal in the scrubber making it useless.

Bristles will also remain wet, which will drip leaving stains on the floor or other surfaces.

The bristles scrubber is awkward to store and will contaminate any item store close to from the germs and bacteria that holds onto the bristles.
