Abstract:
A method of cleaning an air gap in a plumbing fixture by removing the cap from a counter table access and inserting a flexible wire brush into a hose connecting the counter-top access to the drain opening.
Abstract:
A restaurant cleaning towel made from a substrate such as a woven, nonwoven, or knit fabric. A sanitizer release polymer composition comprising at least one cationic (or alternatively, nonionic) surfactant is bound to the surface of the towel. Preferably, the cationic surfactant is present in the sanitizer release polymer composition in an amount of about 1 to about 10 weight percent, based on a total weight of the composition. The composition may also include at least one nonionic co-surfactant in combination with the cationic surfactant. The towel also includes a color label on its surface to identify the area of the restaurant in which the cleaning towel is to be utilized. The towel may optionally include an international icon, a tactile label, and/or a label in a plurality of languages identifying the area where the towel is to be utilized.
Abstract:
Compositions for removing deposits from the interior surfaces of oil refining equipment are provided. The compositions include an organic oil-soluble or oil-miscible acid and a multi-polyether-headed surfactant (MPEHS). Methods of removing these deposits from the interior surfaces of oil refining equipment and removing mud deposits from the bottom of desalters, while the equipment is online, are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A control installation for solid cleaning bodies adapted to be circulated in a heat exchanger to clean it, said installation including interceptor means in the outlet pipe of the heat exchanger adapted to retain the circulating solid cleaning bodies, a return pipe which recycles to the inlet pipe of the heat exchanger a return flow containing solid cleaning bodies retained by the interceptor means, and a system in said return pipe for processing said solid cleaning bodies and including a sorter (30): the sorter (30) includes a body (31), in which there are two compartments (37, 38) separated by a calibrated grid (40), and turbulence generator means (48, 54) adapted to create turbulence in one compartment (38) to attract into it cleaning bodies which can pass through the grid (40) because of their diameter.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for inducing an electric charge in a cleaning sheet for cleaning and removing particles from a surface are disclosed. The systems include a cleaning sheet for collecting and retaining the particles and a charging surface configured to frictionally engage the sheet. The cleaning sheets typically have a basis weight of at least about 30 g/m2. The system may include a container for housing and dispensing the cleaning sheet. When the sheet is passed across the charging surface, the electrical charge in the sheet is generally increased by at least about 500 V. Methods of and kits for cleaning surfaces and collecting and retaining debris are also disclosed.
Abstract translation:公开了用于在用于清洁和从表面除去颗粒的清洁片中引起电荷的方法和系统。 这些系统包括用于收集和保持颗粒的清洁片和构造成摩擦地接合片的充电表面。 清洁片通常具有至少约30g / m 2的基重。 该系统可以包括用于容纳和分配清洁片的容器。 当片材穿过充电表面时,片材中的电荷通常增加至少约500V。还公开了清洁表面和收集和保留碎屑的方法和套件。
Abstract:
In a method for cleaning a surface of a substrate an amount of a solution is applied on a surface of the substrate. After the solution is applied on the surface, crystallization of the solution is initiated to form a liquid-crystal mixture. Once the liquid-crystal mixture is formed, relative motion between the liquid-crystal mixture and the substrate is created to dislodge contaminants adhered to the substrate. In one alternative method, the solution is applied on a pad. In another alternative method, the substrate is place in a bath of the solution. A wafer cleaning module also is described.
Abstract:
A self-contained soap dispensing apparatus having a hollow body with an inner chamber for retainment of liquid soap, an outer surface, and passages or ducts connecting the inner chamber to the outer surface which has bristles thereon. A pump within the inner chamber allows soap to flow from the inner chamber to the outer surface on demand. The soap dispensing apparatus is readily portable and can be used in a wide variety of locations, such as an automobile, an airplane, an RV, and the like.
Abstract:
A scrub washing apparatus comprises a spin chuck for holding a substrate to be processed substantially horizontally, a nozzle for supplying a washing liquid to the substrate mounted on the spin chuck, an arm vertically and horizontally movably supported, an output shaft provided at the arm, a sponge brush connected directly or indirectly to the output shaft, for scrubbing the substrate on the spin chuck in contact therewith, a press mechanism moving the sponge brush downward together with the output shaft, for pressing the sponge brush against the substrate on the spin chuck, and a rotation drive mechanism provided above the press mechanism at a position where the rotation drive mechanism is capable of being engaged with the output shaft, for directly rotating the sponge brush by engaging with the output shaft.
Abstract:
A cleaning system for cleaning glass ceramic surfaces includes a combined scrubber/applicator pad. The combined scrubber/applicator pad has opposing surfaces having differential surface properties. The system further optionally includes a polishing/buffer pad.
Abstract:
A chamois for applying suntan lotions, sunscreens and sunblocks to hard-to-reach areas of the body including a soft, pliable center section and a pair of side sections including one each of a pair of straps at opposite ends thereof for grasping in a user's hands to be operable by a sawing motion, and with the center section having a durable, synthetic fabric material which is semi-absorbent to receive suntan lotion, sunscreen and sunblock liquids directly sprayed or poured thereon as a cream or oil.
