Publication number: 20130213438Abstract: A carpet cleaning system including a cleaning agent that is one of dilutable with and dissolvable in water to generate a cleaning solution. The cleaning system includes a brush disc that has a substantially bowl-shaped glide plate, and bristles disposed in a bristle region. The cleaning system further includes a carpet cleaning apparatus that has a reservoir for containing the cleaning solution, a motor, an aeration device, a power source, and a control system. The motor rotatably actuates the brush disc. The aeration device is fluidly coupled to the reservoir for aerating the cleaning solution to generate foam. The aeration device dispenses foam into at least one of the opening of the glide plate and the bristle region at a rate equivalent to between about 0.028 gallons per minute and about 0.042 gallons per minute.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2011Publication date: August 22, 2013Applicant: DIVERSEY, INC.Inventors: Ryan E.

Patent number: 8304378Abstract: Cleaning and disinfectant compositions are provided particularly for use with hard surfaces. The compositions include hydrogen peroxide and an acid or salt thereof which is resistant to oxidation other than phosphorous based acids. Replacement of phosphorous based acids with acids of the invention results in improved hydrogen peroxide stability while maintaining or increasing the efficacy of cleaning and antimicrobial activity of the compositions. Typically, acids of the invention include substituted or unsubstituted carboxylic acids such as R4—C (R2) (R3) —R1—COOH. Inventive compositions may further include surfactants, a chelating agent or sequestrant, a water soluble or water dispersible solvent, corrosion inhibitors and other adjuvants well known to those skilled in the art. There are further provided methods of use and methods of preparing inventive compositions.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Diversey, Inc.Inventors: Evert Pieter ids Baars, Peter Benjamins, Kathleen J.

Patent number: 6559112Abstract: A cleaning composition which includes a moderate foaming surfactant and a low foaming surfactant. A synergistic cleaning effect is produced by the surfactants. In a preferred manner, the cleaning composition is a neutral carpet extraction cleaning composition. However it can also be employed as a cleaner for fabrics and hard surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: JohnsonDiversey, Inc.Inventors: Derek J. Fox, Ryan E.

Publication number: 20030044309Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for controlling malodor on surfaces and particularly tobacco smoke on and in fabrics. The compositions of the present invention comprise aldehyde-containing fragrance components, nonionic surfactant and an aqueous vehicle. Optionally, additional solubilizers, odor control components and preservatives can be included. The compositions of the invention can be prepared as stable, gel-free, clear concentrates and diluted for use. If prepared as a concentrate, the concentrate is diluted with water to a ready to use concentration and sprayed on the surface to be deodorized. Generally the malodors are significantly reduced in about 5 minutes or less. The compositions of the invention are particularly effective against smoke odors and demonstrate the ability to reduce these odors for relatively long periods of time. Selected amine disinfectant compounds can be included in the compositions to provide disinfecting properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2002Publication date: March 6, 2003Inventors: Pablo M. Hernandez, Ryan E. Kron, Mari Wada
