  • compositions to impart cleansing and/or other components to the flush water of a lavatory or urinal are well known.
  • Such compositions may, for example, be immersed in the water of a lavatory cistern either in free-standing form or in containerised form (i.e. in a dispensing container which allows for release of components of the solid composition in solution in water in a moie or less metered fashion, on flushing of the cistern) .
  • the solid composition may be held under the rim of a toilet, in a suitable holder, for intermittent contact of the solid material with flush water.

  • the blocks with 1-5% PAS show improved wear characteristics .
  • said other anionic surfactants is a sulphonate.
  • Suitable sulphonates include alkyl benzene sulphonate (ABS) . It is believed that the combination of relatively low levels of PAS together with higher levels of ABS promotes the foaming and the perfume delivery from the block. PAS is also believed to be environmentally more acceptable than alkyl benzene sulphonate.
