  • Publication number: 20090038082
    Abstract: A device for treating a surface to give a cleaning benefit comprises one or more containers (402) containing cleaning liquid. When the actuator (416) is depressed cleaning liquid is delivered to an outlet zone (406) located over a stain, where it forms a gel patch. Continued depression of the actuator means causes a piston 436 to press the gel patch against the surface, caused improved absorption of the stain, into the patch. The gel patch can then be peeled away, to remove the stain.
