Toilet cleaning device

Abstract

A toilet cleaning device having a surface ( 7 ) which is deformable to conform to the shape of a surface to be cleaned. The deformable surface ( 7 ) is on a cleaning head ( 6 ) in the shape of a convex disc made of anti-bacterial rubber. The perimeter of the cleaning head ( 6 ) is surrounded by a scraping rim ( 8 ) to assist in the removal of stubborn marks. The deformable surface ( 7 ) of the cleaning head ( 6 ) may have a plurality of teat-shaped projections ( 10 ).

1 . A toilet cleaning device comprising a handle attached to a cleaning head, the cleaning head comprising a resiliently deformable planar portion having a contact surface arranged to conform to the shape of a surface to be cleaned, wherein the contact surface comprises a plurality of integrally formed resiliently deformable projections. 
   
   
       2 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the deformable surface is integrally formed with the cleaning head. 
   
   
       3 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning head is paddle-shaped, disc-shaped or plate-shaped. 
   
   
       4 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the contact surface of the cleaning head is circular, oval or square and/or convex when the cleaning head is at rest. 
   
   
       5 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning head has a scraping rim around an edge thereof, the scraping rim being made from a less flexible material than the cleaning head. 
   
   
       6 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 5  having a rigid handle, wherein the scraping rim is formed by part of the handle projecting through the cleaning head. 
   
   
       7 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning head of the toilet cleaning device is made from anti-bacterial rubber. 
   
   
       8 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the projections includes one or more sub-projections on its surface to provide abutment regions for contacting a surface to be cleaned. 
   
   
       9 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the projections are teat-shaped. 
   
   
       10 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning head is flexibly attached to the handle in a tiltable manner to vary an angle between the deformable surface and the handle. 
   
   
       11 . A toilet cleaning device according to  claim 10 , wherein the cleaning head is attached to the handle by a hinge, a bendable neck or a multi-directional, universally flexible joint, or a narrow collar between the cleaning head and the handle. 
   
   
       12 . A kit comprising a toilet cleaning device according to  claim 1  and a storage part. 
   
   
       13 . A kit according to  claim 12 , wherein the storage part is a docking saucer having a recess arranged to receive the cleaning head of the toilet cleaning device. 
   
   
       14 . A kit according to  claim 13 , wherein the docking saucer has a plurality of projections extending radially inwards from a top edge thereof to receive the cleaning head of the toilet cleaning device. 
   
   
       15 . A kit according to  claim 12 , wherein the storage part is a suction cup or a hook.
