Toilet Duck is a brand name toilet cleaner noted for the duck-shape of its bottle, so shaped to assist in dispensing the cleaner under the rim. The design was patented in the 1980s by Walter Düring from Dällikon, Switzerland. It is now produced by S. C. Johnson & Son.
Toilet Duck suppliers are becoming increasingly scarce in the United States. The Toilet Duck brand can also be found in the UK and in other countries around the world. In Germany, it is known as WC-Ente, previously produced by Henkel, and now by S. C. Johnson (Germany), in the Netherlands as "WC-Eend", in France as "Canard-WC", in Spain as "Pato WC", and in Portugal as "WC Pato".
Toilet Duck is now called 'Duck' in the UK and Ireland.
Famous quotes containing the words toilet and/or duck:
“Surely it is one of the requisites of a tasteful garb that the expression of effort to please shall be wanting in it; that the mysteries of the toilet shall not be suggested by it; that the steps to its completion shall be knocked away like the sculptor’s ladder from the statue, and the mental force expended upon it be swept away out of sight like the chips on the studio floor.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“The duck fats rot in the roasting pan,
And it’s over and over and all ...”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
