摘要： A method of cleaning is disclosed. The method includes providing a cleaning tool having a handle having a top and bottom and an opening allowing access into the bottom from the top and a cleaning pad support pivotally attached to the handle portion. The method further includes the steps of placing a cleaning pad onto the cleaning pad support, inserting a fluid dispenser into the fluid dispenser cradle, positioning the cleaning pad onto a surface to be cleaned and moving the cleaning pad on the surface to be cleaned. Liquid may be selectively applied to either the surface to be cleaned or the cleaning implement.

摘要： A test method is disclosed that can be used to test cleaning products. The test method includes applying a known amount of test material to a surface, cleaning the surface and calculating the amount of allergens picked-up from the surface. The calculated amount of allergens picked-up is then corrected for several measurable variables to provide a more accurate determination of the percentage of allergens picked up with the cleaning product.

摘要： The present invention relates to single-phase soap gels and viscous soap compositions which are produced by alkanolamine neutralization of a fatty acid above the Krafft point. These compositions are robust, biodegradable, and are insensitive to temperature changes. The compositions also exhibit excellent cleaning properties and may be used as laundry cleaning agents, oven cleaners, hard surface cleaners, and disinfectants and air fragrancing compositions.
