  • Cleaning
    Patent number: 7638470
    Abstract: A liquid cleaning composition and a solid state catalyst are provided in combination. The solid state catalyst causes a chemical reaction in the liquid cleaning composition, when the liquid cleaning composition is brought into contact with it. The chemical reaction may increase the oxidising power of the liquid cleaning composition, or change its pH, or cause gas evolution, or release heat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 18, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 29, 2009
    Assignee: Reckitt Benckiser (UK) Limited
    Inventors: Mark Coke, Paul John Duffield, Malcolm Tom McKechnie, Jane Warwick, Matthew White, James Young
  • Cleaning method
    Patent number: 7566689
    Abstract: A cleaning method employs a textile article immersed in or retaining water. The textile article has calcium-binding moieties to soften the wash water and improve cleaning.

  • Surface Treatment Process and Applicator
    Publication number: 20080216866
    Abstract: A packaged cleaning composition and process for cleaning a surface involves the simultaneous application of two liquids to the surface, such that a self-supporting gel is formed, acting on soil while delaying it from drying out. The gel and entrained soil are subsequently removed.

  • Cleaning Composition and Method
    Publication number: 20080171685
    Abstract: A cleaning composition comprising from 80 to 98% by weight of water, from 1 to 25% percent by weight of an amphiphilic solvent, from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of a volatile hydrocarbon and from 0.1 to 1% by weight of cationic surfactant exhibits good cleaning performance and a visual indication of activity. The composition is on or adjacent to a phase boundary of its phase diagram and exhibits self-induced surface motility of the Marangoni type.

  • Chemical composition and uses
    Publication number: 20070167341
    Abstract: A product comprising separate compartments, contains first and second components of a composition and a catalyst for a reaction between the two components. In use, the two components are combined together to form the composition, preferably a cleaning composition, whose temperature is elevated when compared to the temperature of the components prior combination, providing improved performance. Method of manufacture, method of cleaning a surface, a kit, and an applicator means are disclosed.

  • Cleaning method
    Publication number: 20050096248
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of cleaning using water, in which the water is softened and/or in which the deposition of hard water scale is diminished. The invention relates in particular to such a method carried out in a domestic environment. The invention also relate to textile article products on which is reversibly impregnated or deposited a water-softening agent and their use in such methods.
