A disposable pad for cleaning a toilet including a mitt-like pad having a cavity to receive a hand, wherein the hand is shielded from contact with the toilet seat. A cleaning pad is fixedly attached and in planar contact with the lower surface of the mitt-like pad and has a cleaning agent absorbed therein. A flap is operatively affixed to the lower surface of the mitt-like pad proximate the cleaning pad and is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the cleaning pad is exposed for cleaning the toilet seat and in the second position, the flap covers the cleaning pad to expose a surface which enables drying of the toilet seat prior to use.
