  • Publication number: 20190233761
    Abstract: A solid cleaning composition includes a solidified surfactant blend. The solidified surfactant blend includes (1) at least one metal alkyl ether sulfate having the formula: wherein the first metal is sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium, a is 1 or 2, AO is ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or combinations thereof, x is 0.1 to 3, and y is 11 to 13. The solidified surfactant blend also includes a (2) solid surfactant and optionally (3) polyethylene glycol. Furthermore, (1) and (2) are present in a weight ratio of from 30:70 to 70:30 based on a total weight of the solidified surfactant blend. The solid cleaning composition has non-cohesive powder flow properties as determined using a Brookfield powder flow tester.

  • Patent number: 9434400
    Abstract: A mobile cleaning system (10) that enables touch-free, daily cleaning and disinfecting to areas or locations within an establishment is provided. The system includes generally a push cart (12) having front (18) and rear (20) sections spaced between vertically upstanding side sections (22A-B). One or more sections of the cart (12) include a modulated space configurable with one or more cleaning and/or disinfecting modules for performing and supporting a cleaning and/or disinfecting operation. A tool drip tray (30) extends outward from at least one of the sections beneath a tool storage location (32A-B) for preventing liquid or debris from dropping onto a surface beneath the cart (12) while stationary or in transit.
