  • Patent number: 8038000
    Abstract: A hydrogen peroxide point of use wetted wiper system includes a packaging with a first, a second, and a third compartment, wherein the separate compartments are mergable. Wipers are disposed in the third compartment. Disposed in the second compartment is dry urea hydrogen peroxide, isolated from the wipers. Disposed in the first compartment is a solvent, wherein the solvent is isolated from the wipers and the urea hydrogen peroxide. The first and second compartments can merge to form a unified compartment such that the solvent is combined with the urea hydrogen peroxide at a point of use to form liquid 6% hydrogen peroxide solution. The unified compartment then merges with the third compartment such that the liquid hydrogen peroxide wets the wipers. The liquid hydrogen peroxide concentration and amount is proportional to the wiper absorptive capacity, number, size, and degree of desired saturation.

  • Publication number: 20080149526
    Abstract: A cleaning solution kit includes a liquid that is disposed within a first compartment and that is isolated from a cleaning solid disposed in a second compartment by a first openable barrier. When the first openable barrier is opened, the liquid and cleaning solid are exposed to one another, forming the cleaning solution. A cleaning kit includes the first and second compartments of the cleaning solution kit and also includes wipes. The wipes are disposed within a third compartment and are isolated from the cleaning solid and the liquid by a second openable barrier and the first openable barrier. When wipes are needed to clean an area, after the cleaning solution is formed by opening the first openable barrier, the second barrier is opened and the cleaning solution wets the wipes. The wipes are then ready for cleaning surfaces within an area.
