  • Fibrous substrate with a solid hypohalite precipitate formed therein
    Patent number: 8309508
    Abstract: A cleaning substrate which comprises at least one layer of a solid hypohalite precipitate, wherein the hypohalite precipitate is formed in situ on the layer of substrate material. A process for making a fibrous cleaning substrate comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one layer of fibrous material; b) exposing the fibrous layer to an aqueous alkaline earth salt solution; c) treating the fibrous layer with a hypochlorite solution; d) allowing the aqueous alkaline earth salt solution combine with the hypochlorite solution to form a solid hypochlorite precipitate around the fibers in the fibrous material and a liquid phase, and e) removing at least 65% of the liquid phase from the fibrous substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2012
    Assignee: The Clorox Company
    Inventors: Marc P. Privitera, William L. Smith, Edward Jason White, Leslie N. Adams
