    Abstract: We have found an alkaline warewashing detergent composition that can contain a critical amount of a nonionic rinse agent that when used in automatic warewashing machines permits the use of a potable water rinse without the addition of a separate rinse agent. Sufficient residual nonionic surfactant from the alkaline detergent remains on the surface ware and internal machine and rack surfaces after washing to promote adequate sheeting in the rinse cycle. The residual nonionic surfactant on internal surfaces dissolves in th e rinse water to create an effective aqueous rinse agent. The nonionic rinse agents can be a single nonionic for both foam reduction cleaning and sheetin g or can be a blend of nonionic materials providing these functions. The detergent can be in the form of a particulate, pelletized or block solid. Th e detergent can be used in a variety of high temperature and low temperature automatic warewashing machines including large multizone conveyor machines, or relatively small institutional machines that have a single washing chamber.

    Abstract: A touchless car wash composition, that can be made from a concentrate and diluted to use concentration using commonly available service water can comprise an ether amine or diamine in particular a fatty ether amine or diamine. The novel compositions are typically free of hydrocarbon solvents and silicone materials that are common in prior art compositions. The compositions are used in touchless car wash processes in which the materials are sprayed in the form of an aqueous dilute solution to remove soil from the vehicle surface. The aqueous compositions are self removing and very small amounts of the aqueous solutions remain to create water spotting on cleaned vehicle surfaces. The novel compositions of the invention can also contain a variety of other ingredients in a fully formulated system. Such ingredients include rapid dewatering of painted surfaces, improved cleanliness of glass and painted surfaces. A substantial reduction of water spotting and concentrates stability. When used in systems using the direct contact between a brush, the friction between the brush and the vehicle surface is substantially reduced.

    Abstract: A cleaning and restoration system (10) for floors (11) and other hard surfaces is disclosed. The system (10) has a cleaning head (12) which can be moved across a floor (11) or other hard surface. The cleaning head (12) impinges particulate media upon the floor (11) to remove soils and provide a slip-resistant surface. The media is entrained into the air by a pressure tank (18). The media is reclaimed in a classifier (17); and the dust, soils, and other undesirable materials are filtered in a dust collector (57). A compressor (20) and a vacuum blower (22), and the other components of the system are mounted on a truck (19). A method for utilizing the restoration system (10) is also disclosed.
