SANITIZING DEVICE, PARTICULARLY FOR SANITARY FIXTURES AND THE LIKE AND CORRESPONDING METHOD OF FILLING

A method of filling a sanitizing device (1), comprising the steps of: - preparing a container body (2) that is adapted to contain a sanitizing product in gel form (4), the container body (2) being affected by slits (5) that are adapted to allow a gradual release of the sanitizing product, the slits (5) having a maximum width that is such as to prevent the exit of the product in gel form during the loading of the product in gel form into the container body (2); - heating a product (4) in gel form; - pouring the product (4) in gel form into the container body (2), so that the product in gel form initially comes into contact with a region of the container body (2) with substantially no slits (5) or with slits (5) having a maximum width that is such as to prevent the exit of the product in gel form during the loading of the product in gel form into the container body (2); - leaving the product (4) in gel form to expand inside the container body (2) and to reach a final viscosity with cooling of at least 50 Pa*s.
