Abstract
The invention is for liners provided for use in a flush toilet with an interior. The liners are configured to fit within the interior area of the toilet bowl to contact an upper surface of the toilet water. The liners prevent soiling of the interior of the toilet bowl and facilitate the efficient removal and flushing of human waste. The liner acts as a barrier between the toilet bowl and wastewater, whereby the liner can then be flushed along with the contents of the bowl, thereby extending the period between necessary cleanings.
