  • Patent number: 9133419
    Abstract: A method for removing chlorhexidine and/or avobenzone from fabric materials utilizes an acidic detergent composition including phosphoric acid and a surfactant in a flush cycle of a washing machine adapted to perform separate flush, wash, and bleaching cycles. The acidic detergent composition is present in the flush solution in a sufficient quantity to provide a pH less than about 5 and, advantageously, above about 2. The acidic detergent composition is advantageously substantially free of a chlorine-based oxidant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 17, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2015
    Assignee: Washing Systems, LLC (EAW)

  • Publication number: 20130341201
    Abstract: A membrane-based electrochemical cell produces a first anolyte solution and a membrane-less electrochemical cell produces a bleach solution such as from a brine solution. The first anolyte solution and bleach solution are combined to form a modified anolyte solution. A dual electrochemical cell device includes two segments, one having a membrane-based electrochemical cell and the other having a membrane-less electrochemical cell, separated by a partition, and secured together into a single, unitary structure.
