Abstract
The present invention is an improved liquid toilet bowl cleanser comprising a fluorosurfactant coating agent, an anionic or non-ionic cleaner and a rheology control agent together with other minor excipients The flurosurfactant continually adheres to and coats the porcelain surface of the toilet bowl during the active life of the cleanser composition preventing the formationof toilet bowl stains and mineral deposits for a substantial period of time after manual cleaning.

Orange iron spots are commonly seen as a result of high iron levels in the water supply. If left untreated, these can become quite llnce~mly and are difficult to remove at best.

United States Patent No. 3,754,941 to Burke ~i~lQses compo-sitions useful in the rle~nin~ and removal of metallic stains from a por~cla~
toilet bowl. The cuul~)~ilions are co ~ d of a metallic salt <,.~i la~lt such as mercuric chloride coupled with a fluoride solubilizer and a halide activa-tor. The fluoride solubilizer is a ~ul~a~ Lantwhich assists the metallic c.~
with the remc~val of stains from the por~elai~. surface by altering the adher-ence force of the stain to the surface. The halide promoter is sele~ h~ from the group COIll~Iisi. g chloride, bromide and iodide and these a~ LiYaIe the metall;c salt axidant whereby stain removal is in- I~ased.
It is an object of the p~e~nt invention to provide a sustained release, continual dispersion of a toilet bowl ~le~ r which not only cleans but plOt~ toilet bowl surfaces as well.

The fluorosurfactants that are useful as co~hn~ agents in the 20 prac~ce of the p~lt invention have the followang general rhem-~l s;truc-ture:

United States Patent No. 3,754,941 to Burke ~i~lQses compo-sitions useful in the rle~nin~ and removal of metallic stains from a por~cla~
toilet bowl. The cuul~)~ilions are co ~ d of a metallic salt <,.~i la~lt such as mercuric chloride coupled with a fluoride solubilizer and a halide activa-tor. The fluoride solubilizer is a ~ul~a~ Lantwhich assists the metallic c.~
with the remc~val of stains from the por~elai~. surface by altering the adher-ence force of the stain to the surface. The halide promoter is sele~ h~ from the group COIll~Iisi. g chloride, bromide and iodide and these a~ LiYaIe the metall;c salt axidant whereby stain removal is in- I~ased.
It is an object of the p~e~nt invention to provide a sustained release, continual dispersion of a toilet bowl ~le~ r which not only cleans but plOt~ toilet bowl surfaces as well. The pr~nt il,~enlion achiev~ this goal through the use of a fluol~u.l~ctant coating agent, an ~ ;Q-'iC or nonionic ~lea~er, a rheology control agent and aesthetically enhqn~in~
excipients. As the cle~ning agents remove mineral depo~ib, surface stains, dirt, grime and the ll~e from the polc~lain surface, the fluor~surfactant adheres to and coats the surface continually preventing or inhibiting further stain and deposit fo,...~l;on ~ ~ v ~
