Abstract: An advanced cleaning system having a handle portion with a proximal end and a distal end, a cleaning head portion, the cleaning head portion adapted for use with a removable cleaning pad, and a cleaning fluid reservoir fluidically coupled to the cleaning head portion such that cleaning fluid is controllably allowed to flow via gravity onto the surface to be cleaned adjacent the cleaning head portion.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a surface using a tool with both a cleaning head and a cleaning fluid reservoir housing coupled to an elongated handle, the method comprising the following steps: attaching a cleaning pad to the cleaning head; inserting a replaceable cleaning fluid reservoir into the housing; fluidically coupling the cleaning fluid reservoir to the cleaning head; dispensing controlled amounts of cleaning fluid from the reservoir onto a surface; and distributing the cleaning fluid evenly over the surface with the cleaning pad.

Abstract: A cleaning pad for use on a cleaning system in which cleaning fluid or other liquid is dispensed onto a surface in front of a cleaning head portion, the cleaning pad comprising a central absorbent and scrubbing portion, a back edge portion for removably attaching the cleaning pad to the cleaning head portion, and a front edge portion for removably attaching the cleaning pad to the cleaning head portion, the front edge portion having a notch thereon, thereby allowing attachment of the cleaning pad to the cleaning head portion such that cleaning or other fluid can be dispensed from the cleaning head portion onto a surface in front of the cleaning head portion without interference by the cleaning pad.

Abstract: A cleaning formulation, in tablet form, capable of providing a metered release of cleaning active while immersed in the tank of a toilet. The tablet comprises greater than about 85 to 99 weight percent of a halohydantoin plus about 1 to 15 weight percent of a longevity aid comprising boric acid.

Abstract: A method for opening drains using a phase stable, viscoelastic drain opening composition includes introducing to a drain pipe restriction or clog a mixture having a cleaning active and a viscoelastic thickening system containing a quaternary ammonium compound, an organic counterion, and a free amine. The amount of free amine in the composition is limited, and is based on the amount of the quaternary ammonium compound present, in order to maintain phase stability and to achieve further enhanced rheological and aesthetic properties in the composition. The viscoelastic quality of the composition permits rapid penetration of the formulation through standing water with minimal dilution to deliver actives to the clog material, thus providing advartageous utility as a drain opener.
