Claim
Evolution of the toilet bowl and water tank cleaner which saves water and
cleaning agent.

insulates the
cleaning detergent triggered automatically by the hydraulic pressure.
Unlike the products currently available in market (Where solid blocks of
cleaning agents are
placed in the toilet water tank. and tolerated to melt away causing a
considerable amount to go
to waste), this evolutionary device releases liquid detergent only during the
short period while
the water tank is being refilled with water after every flush. The device will
be in a
completely closed position at all other times to retain the liquid detergent.
The purpose of the product is to:
1. Enhance the efficiency of the cleaning ¨ The device allows the liquid
detergent to be
released in even and consistent portion every time.
2. User Friendly ¨ Easy to use and refill. Durable and reusable.
3. Value for Money ¨ Every drop of the liquid detergent will be used only for
cleaning
and none tolerated to go to waste.
4. Environmentally Friendly ¨ Saves the amount of water used for toilet
flushing.
5. Compatible with all/any liquid detergent available in the market.

Product Description
Product Name Smartloo Bowl and Tank Cleaner
Core Concept - Key concept of this device is that the change in
the water
level of the toilet water tank caused by flush and refill
triggers the device to function.
- Main purpose is to eliminate waste of cleaning
agent/
detergent and water.
- The device is designed to be positioned in the empty
space of the toilet water tank either in a fixed position
or as a free-flowing buoyant type.
- The device consists of 2 parts, top and bottom.
- Free-flowing type has a set of springs holding
the 2 parts
close to each other allowing 3cm-5cm gap in between to
allow release of the liquid detergent.
- Fixed type will have the top part of the device attached
to the inner wall of the toilet water tank with the bottom
part in a free-flowing position and pushed up and down
with the change of the water level.
- Top part of the device is a liquid detergent
dispenser.
- The bottom part plays the role of a stopper.
- Dispenser will come to a completely locked position
when the toilet water tank is full with water making the
bottom part of the device to come in complete contact
with the top part of the device to stop the release of the
liquid detergent.
Advantages - Daily use of this device will save the amount of
water
used for toilet flushing as portion of the toilet water tank
space will be occupied by the device.
- Save the amount of cleaning detergent as the device will
be in a locked/closed position during the time the toilet
water tank is full.
- Cleaning detergent is only released during that short
period while the toilet water tank is being refilled with
water after every flush.
- Even and consistent amount of cleaning detergent is
used with every flush eliminating unnecessary waste.

of the bottom part is inserted in the opening channel of the top
part making the dispenser to come to a completely closed
position and stop the release of the liquid detergent.
