Abstract: A method for cleaning at least one soiled substrate in a rotatably mounted cylindrical drum of a cleaning apparatus with a multiplicity of solid particles comprising the steps of: a) agitating said at least one soiled substrate in said drum with wash liquor and said multiplicity of solid particles for a first cleaning cycle wherein said wash liquor comprises at least one cleaning agent; b) draining said wash liquor from said cleaning apparatus; and c) introducing an aqueous non-detergent medium into said cleaning apparatus and agitating said at least one soiled substrate with said multiplicity of solid particles in said drum for a second cleaning cycle. The invention further discloses a method for cleaning at least one soiled substrate in a rotatably mounted drum of a cleaning apparatus, the method comprising rotating the drum such that said at least one soiled substrate moves about a generally circular path and introducing a multiplicity of solid particles into the drum as said drum rotates wherein said multiplicity of solid particles are introduced through an annulus defined by the generally circular path. Apparatus configured for carrying out the methods are also disclosed.

Abstract translation: 一种用于清洁具有多种固体颗粒的清洁装置的可旋转安装的圆柱形滚筒中的至少一个污染的基底的方法，包括以下步骤：a）用洗涤液和所述多个固体搅拌所述滚筒中的所述至少一个污染的基底 用于第一清洁循环的颗粒，其中所述洗涤液包含至少一种清洁剂; b）从所述清洁设备中排出所述洗涤液; 和c）将水性非洗涤剂介质引入所述清洁设备中，并且在所述滚筒中用所述多个固体颗粒搅拌所述至少一个污染的基底用于第二清洁循环。 本发明还公开了一种用于清洁清洁装置的可旋转地安装的滚筒中的至少一个污染的基底的方法，所述方法包括使所述滚筒旋转，使得所述至少一个污染的基底围绕大致圆形路径移动并且引入多个固体颗粒 当所述滚筒旋转时，所述滚筒进入滚筒，其中所述多个固体颗粒通过由通常圆形路径限定的环带引入。 还公开了用于执行方法的装置。
