Abstract
The system may comprise an overflow pipe within a tank and a holding device configured to interface with the overflow pipe. The holding device may be configured to receive fill water in response to an actuator being depressed. The holding device may be configured to retain a cleaning substance. The holding device may be configured to allow the fill water to flow over the cleaning substance and into the overflow pipe. The overflow pipe may be configured to provide water to a bowl.
