Lavatory treatment block compositions with substantive foaming benefits and improved lifespan

Abstract

Lavatory treatment blocks which provide improved foaming benefit and improved foam substantivity are provided. The lavatory treatment blocks may be used with or without a lavatory treatment device, such as an in the bowl type, or in the cistern type device. Preferred embodiments of the lavatory treatment blocks provide a cleaning and/or sanitizing and/or disinfecting benefit to a sanitary appliance being treated using the lavatory treatment blocks.

1 . Lavatory treatment blocks with improved foaming benefits wherein the said blocks contain a foam improving amount of glycerine. 
     
     
         2 . Lavatory treatment blocks with improved foaming benefits wherein the said blocks contain a foam improving amount of a surfactant constituent which comprises glycerine. 
     
     
         3 . Lavatory treatment blocks with improved foaming benefits wherein the said blocks contain a foam improving amount of a surfactant constituent which comprises, in combination, a fatty amide, such as cocoamide diethanolamide with glycerine. 
     
     
         4 . A lavatory dispensing device adapted for use with a sanitary appliance, preferably an ITB device or an ITC device, comprising one or more lavatory treatment blocks according to any of  claim 1 ,  2  or  3 . 
     
     
         5 . A process for delivering a treatment composition to a sanitary appliance, especially preferably, to the interior of a toilet bowl, which process comprises: providing one or more lavatory treatment blocks according to  claim 1 ,  2  or  3 , and, periodically flushing water about the exterior of the said blocks to elute at least one chemical constituent to form a treatment composition with said water which treatment composition is used to treat a part of the sanitary appliance. 
     
     
         6 . A process for delivering a treatment composition to a sanitary appliance according to  claim 5  which process comprises: providing one or more lavatory treatment blocks according to  claim 1 ,  2  or  3 , and, periodically flushing water about the exterior of the said blocks to elute at least one chemical constituent to form a treatment composition with said water which treatment composition is used to treat a part of the sanitary appliance. 
     
     
         7 . A process for delivering a treatment composition to a sanitary appliance according to  claim 5  which process comprises: providing one or more lavatory treatment blocks according to  claim 1 ,  2  or  3  within a cistern or tank of the sanitary appliance, and, continuously immersing or periodically immersing at least a part of the blocks in the water within the cistern or tank so to elute at least one chemical constituent from each of the lavatory treatment blocks to form a treatment composition with the water which is used to treat a part of the sanitary appliance. 
     
     
         8 . A process for delivering a treatment composition to a sanitary appliance according to  claim 5  which process comprises: providing one or more lavatory treatment blocks according to  claim 1 ,  2  or  3  via use of an ITB device, suspending said block from a part of the toilet bowl, preferably from a part of the rim thereof, such that at least one chemical constituent of the block is used to form a treatment composition therefrom which is used to treat the interior of the toilet bowl when the treatment composition formed is used to flush the toilet bowl.
