Abstract
A cleansing and freshening unit having a twofold purpose of spreading a fresh odour in a toilet room and introducing active substances into flushing water with each flush, the unit comprises a holder with unfoldable flexible suspension means for suspending the unit from the rim of a toilet bowl, a reservoir for active substance, such as liquid containing cleansing and air freshening agent, detachably connected to the holder, and a porous mass being arranged in the holder so as to be located in a path of the flushing water when the unit is suspended from the rim of the toilet bowl, said porous mass communicating with the active substance contained in the reservoir. The holder is provided with a connecting nipple suitable for connection to a discharge opening of the reservoir, so that when the unit is suspended from the rim of the toilet bowl the discharge opening is directed downwards, and with a projection part with a length substantially corresponding to the width of the unfolded suspension means plus minus the thickness of the shell of the toilet bowl.
