Abstract: A scrub brush with a handle by which the user grips the brush, a two-part scrubber portion which provides the scrubbing action, and a connecting staff between the handle and the scrubber. The scrubber may be of bristles, springy plastic mesh, rag-like or sponge material. The scrubber is designed so that a portion of the scrubber furthest from the handle can be compressed into a small diameter cylindrical shape of such dimension that a suitably sized ring of solid cleaning agent can pass over the compressed scrubber portion. When the compressed scrubber portion is released from its restraint, it expands to the original shape and size, thereby confining the ring of solid cleaning agent between the two scrubber portions.

Abstract: An applicator for a fabric treatment to effect mechanical stain removal has a no rinse fabric treatment composition and an application device. The application device induces a certain frictional stress upon the fabric and has a frictional stress value on the fabric optimally chosen to effect fabric treatment and is at the same time kind to the fabric. Advantageously, the application device has a frictional stress value of from 0.05 N mm−2 to 1 N mm−2. The frictional stress should be high enough to ensure good mechanical stain removal, good delivery of the fabric treatment composition into the fabric and allow fabric treatment with fabric friendly chemical compositions at low levels.
