  • Patent number: 11122955
    Abstract: A cleaning kit. The cleaning kit includes a first liquid-tight container and a second liquid-tight container, the second liquid-tight container adapted to be ruptured by the application of pressure by a user to the second container. The second container includes a baffle extending at least partially across the second container adapted to reduce accidental rupture caused by handling during shipping and a frangible seal along at least a portion of the boundary between the first container and the second container. A cleaning liquid may be in the second container and there may be at least one absorbent applicator in the first container and adjacent to the second container whereby the release of cleaning liquid from the second container is applied to the applicators in the first container.

  • Patent number: 10696466
    Abstract: The cleaning kit includes a first liquid-tight container and a second liquid-tight container adapted to be received within the first container to be ruptured by the application of pressure to the container by a user. The second container includes a sealable liquid-tight pouch; a baffle extending at least partially across the pouch adapted to reduce accidental rupture caused by handling during shipping and a frangible seal along at least a portion of an outer edge of the pouch. A cleaning liquid may be in the second container, wherein the second container is adapted to be openable while it is located in the first container to release the liquid from the second container into the first container. Also, there may be at least one absorbent applicator in the first container and adjacent to the second container in the first container whereby the release of cleaning liquid from the second container is applied to the applicators in the first container.
