Flushable toilet bowl cleaning brush

Abstract

A cleaning tool formed of a water soluable material includes a handle and a cleaning head. The cleaning tool is configured to permit the user to perform a cleaning operation and thereafter dispose of the cleaning tool by placing it in a toilet bowl where the interaction of the water resident in the bowl with the cleaning tool causes the tool to dissolve sufficiently to permit the cleaning tool to be flushed away. The cleaning tool may include a quantity of cleanser contained within the handle of the tool or alternatively disposed on the cleaning head itself.

         3 . The cleaning tool of  claim 1  wherein said handle defines a hollow compartment accessible through an opening defined within said handle, said hollow compartment retaining a quantity of cleanser.
