Abstract
A splash reducing panels for providing a toilet splash reducing product in a compact easy to carry size. The splash reducing panels includes a panel formed from a fibrous material and containing a germicide comprising n-Alkyl, dimethyl, benzyl ammonium chloride, dimethyl benzyl ethylbenzyl, ammonium chloride and inert ingredients. The panel is preferably adapted to expand from a relatively smaller first size to a relatively larger second size when the panel is brought into contact with water. The panel may be in a folded form and be adapted to unfold when brought into contact with water, and the panel may have a plurality of ridges formed therein that become relatively flat when moistened.
Claims3
A method of reducing splashing of water in a toilet bowl, comprising the acts of:
- providing a panel formed from a fibrous material, the fibrous material being adapted to retain its form when brought into contact with water but being adapted to be broken up by the mechanical action encountered in a sanitary sewer system for facilitating safe flushing of the panel, the panel being in a folded form and being adapted to unfold when brought into contact with water;
- placing the panel in the water in the bowl of a toilet such that the panel is brought into contact with the water;
- and
- expanding the panel to cover substantially an entire upper surface of the water in the toilet bowl to reduce splashing from the upper surface of the water.
