Patent ID: 8444771

Claim:
A method for cleaning and/or deodorizing a toilet bowl or urinal comprising directly applying an agent to the toilet bowl or urinal, wherein the agent adheres to the toilet bowl or urinal and can be flushed away only after a relatively large number of flushing operations, wherein the agent comprises fillers from the group of surfactants and also an adhesion promoter, wherein the adhesion promoter is selected from the group of polyalkvlene derivatives which comprise polyalkylene chains with randomly distributed functional groups, or from the group of copolymers from the group of monoalkylesters of poly/methyl vinylethers/carboxylic anhydrides, olefin homopolymers and copolymers of two or more olefins being partially oxidized or further functionalized via graft molecules, and from the group of polyalkyleneimines, alkoxylated polyalkyleneimines, polyether amines or alkoxylated amines and polyglycerol polyether alkylcarboxylic acids or polymers or derivatives containing these polymer groups, wherein the viscosity of the agent is at least 30 Pas measured using a Haake viscometer, plate/plate system, plate diameter 10 mm, at a shear gradient of 2.62 s −1 and 20° C. and the agent is so sticky that it can serve to attach bar-shaped agents to the toilet bowl or urinal, wherein the concentration of the surfactants is between 10 and 80% by weight, and wherein the agent has associated therewith one or more bar-shaped compositions selected from the group consisting of conventional rim blocks with one or more phases, rim blocks with scented phase, rim blocks containing bleach, compacted tablets, deodorization tablets, solid deodorization gels, bleaching tablets, descaling tablets or intensive cleaning tablets.
