I'm not a fan of housework in general (who is?) and the one chore I find particularly distasteful is cleaning the toilet. I'll try any product that promises to keep it clean for longer between scrubs (right now, it's Harpic No Touch Gel), but of course it has to be cleaned eventually. I'm therefore now a fervent convert to SC Johnson's Toilet Duck Fresh Brush. This is as non-icky as toilet cleaning gets.

Toilet Duck Fresh Brush has a durable curved handle which allows you to reach up under the rim and all around the bowl. The cleaning pads are impregnated with concentrated Toilet Duck liquid which is activated when wet. Once finished cleaning, simply push the button on the stick to release the cleaning pad into the bowl and flush away. The pads break up like toilet paper, making them safe for your plumbing and septic system.

Each starter kit comes with a handle, a holder for the handle and four disposable cleaning pads. Refills are available in packs of 12. For an extra-clean job, I squeeze gel toilet cleaner under the rim as usual, then use the Fresh Brush after half an hour.
