  • Patent number: 8302244
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices and methods for cleaning, disinfecting, or sanitizing a toilet bowl surface or other surface. The device features a sheath having a first surface and second surface. The sheath is capable of assuming two positions. In said first position the first surface faces inward toward itself defining a first opening and a first chamber. In the second position the second surface faces inward towards itself defining a second opening and a second chamber and the first surface faces outward. The sheath is moved from the first position into the second position by inverting it over a flexible head attached to a hollow wand. A roughening agent is affixed to the first surface for cleaning toilet bowl surfaces and other surfaces. A cleaning, disinfecting or sanitizing agent can also be applied to the first surface of the sheath.
