    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.

    Abstract: A stable, substantially homogeneous, solid block cleaning composition can be made for general purpose cleaning and for cleaning hard surfaces such as floors of varying surface composition. Unique solid block materials contain substantially useful concentrations of liquid acid materials, but are in the form of a stable solid. The acidic solid detergent can be dispensed using a water spray creating a concentrate which can then be diluted in proper ratio to form the use--solution. Such use-solutions may be applied to remove a variety of soils subject to acid cleaning including soils containing water hardness components, inorganic soils, and the like. The acid cleaners can be used alone or in combination with other cleaners in a cleaning protocol for a variety of hospitality, industrial or institutional cleaning locations having a broad spectrum of contaminated soil residue.

    Abstract: A multiple product dispensing system (100) includes a plurality of use solution dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) and a controller (110) for selecting one of the dispensers (10a, 10b, 10c) according to a preset regimen, e.g., selecting different dispensers on different days of the week. Each dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) dispenses a controlled concentration of use solution using a diluent delivery apparatus (13) that delivers a diluent to form a liquid concentrate from a solid chemical composition (22), and to form make-up diluent for diluting the liquid concentrate and forming a use solution of controlled concentration. A foam reducer (24) reduces the kinetic energy of the make-up diluent prior to mixing with the liquid concentrate to reduce foaming. An unskilled operator may operate the dispensing system (100) to dispense a use solution of carefully controlled concentration, and the controller (110) will automatically select the proper dispenser according to the preset regimen, without any additional input on the part of the operator. Therefore, the likelihood of operator error occurring is greatly reduced by the automatic selection of the proper dispenser (10a, 10b, 10c) and the control over use solution concentration.

    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 SURFACE AFTER WASHING TO PROMOTE ADEQUATE SHEETING IN THE RINSE CYCLE. THE RESIDUAL NONIONIC SURFACTANT ON INTERNAL SURFACE DISSOLVES IN THE RINSE WATER TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE AQUEOUS RINSE AGENT. THE NONIONIC RINSE AGENTS CAN BE A SINGLE NONIONIC FOR BOTH FOAM REDUCTION CLEANING AND SHEETING 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. THE 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: The invention provides a urea based solid composition and a process for preparing a homogeneous, urea-based, solid cleaning composition. Cleaning compositions for use in warewashing and cleaning hard surfaces, rinsing, sanitizing, deodorizing, and the like, made by the method are also provided. The ingredients are charged into a heated mixing apparatus and when uniform are transferred into a mold or other packaging system for dispensing the detergent. The consistency of the composition ranges from that of a fused solid block to a malleable article.
