Abstract: A composition is provided containing a pH adjuster, a surfactant, and a solvent, wherein the composition has the ability to solubilize MAAs that creates dark streaks on roof shingles. The method of making the composition involves mixing a pH adjuster and a surfactant with water. A method of using is provided in which additional water is added to the composition. Once the composition is diluted and the desired alkalinity is reached, the composition is sprayed on a roof through a device having a spray/stream end. The output from the spray/stream end of the device transforms secreted MAA present on the roof shingles into an orange color upon contact. The resulting orange residue is then rinsed off from the shingles to provide a new looking roof.

Abstract: A composition for use in brine formation comprising a deliquescent desiccant, urea, and an optional component selected from the group consisting of starch, citric acid, clay, glucose, and a combination thereof. Methods of making and using the composition are provided. The composition may be pressed into tablet form. The composition may be used in a dehumidifying device.

Abstract: A tablet having a deliquescent desiccant and a fragrance encapsulated on or within a binding agent, and wherein the encapsulated fragrance is derived from an essential oil. A method of making a tablet involves providing a deliquescent desiccant, encapsulating a fragrance by spray drying the fragrance on a carbohydrate, combining the deliquescent desiccant and the carbohydrate encapsulated fragrance, and pressing the combination into the tablet.

Abstract: A spray wand for use with a chemical or chemical formulation in solid form. The wand hose end has a wand hose end valve for control of water flow from a hose. A refill cartridge having a swirl chamber may be attached to the hollow tube. The refill cartridge has at least one nub, indent and/or external channel or groove on its external surface.

Abstract: A formulation delivery system for use with an outdoor cleaning device is provided. The formulation delivery system has a composition containing chlorine, wherein the composition is in a form of a solid chemistry and the outdoor cleaning device is a spray wand containing the composition. The chlorine is selected from the group consisting of calcium hypochlorite; 1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, 1,3-dichloro-, sodium salt, dihydrate (dichlor); 1,3,5-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione (trichlor), chloramine-T hydrate, and a combination thereof. A spray wand having a refill cartridge for containing the composition in solid form is also provided.

Abstract: A spray wand for use with a chemical or chemical formulation in solid form. The spray wand has a spray wand body having a hollow tube with an angled wand spray end, a spray end selector attached to the angled wand spray end, a wand hose end screen inserted into or otherwise attached to the hollow tube of the spray wand body, and a wand hose end connected to the spray wand body. The wand hose end has a wand hose end valve for control of water flow from a hose. A refill cartridge having a swirl chamber may be attached to the hollow tube. The refill cartridge has external channels or grooves on its external surface as a water rinse feature for the spray wand.
