An article for cleaning or hand-washing an object includes a core substrate comprising a plurality of fibers including a resin. The core substrate has one or more abrasive surfaces and contains an active cleaning formulation. The resin and the core substrate are water-dispersible upon contact with water at a low temperature, such as 40° C. or below, and water-soluble upon contact with water at a higher temperature. Also disclosed are methods for making the article.

A system for a soap container including a container assembly and a drawer assembly is disclosed. The container assembly includes a container. The container houses and maintains a sponge member and a soap solution readily available to a user for cleaning of a desired surface. The container includes a reservoir at a top portion. The reservoir has an open top face and is refilled through the top face once the soap solution is depleted. The reservoir is selectively sealed with a tray. A nozzle is attached to the reservoir to dispense the soap solution within. The drawer is removably secured to a slot at a lower portion of the container. The sponge member is removably secured within the drawer, such that when the drawer is opened, the sponge member is underneath of the nozzle, which is actuated to dispense the soap solution onto the sponge member.

This invention discloses a mechanical boost type cup spray-washing unit integrated with temperature-adjustment and press-control. This unit may regulate the mixing proportion of the cold water and hot water. It in combination with the boosting spray-wash effectively dissolves and washes the residues and juice on the inner wall of cup. This unit is clever in structure, integrates the temperature-adjustment and flush-washing, is directly hidden in the intermediate of the desk installation holes, never occupies surplus space of the kitchen desk, and may be installed in the standard small-hole of the kitchen water-trough desk without extra-opening, or may be directly fixed above the bottom of the water-trough after removal of the drain-panel.

A system and a method for treatment of a disorder in a gastrointestinal tract of a subject, using a treatment protocol, the treatment protocol being based at least in part on data relating to other subjects and their responses to treatment with various treatment protocols.

A bottle brush cleaning implement that uses a crochet scrubber component and an integrated handle and its method of assembly. The preferred embodiment of the crochet component has four brushes that are constructed out of one piece of crochet material that is attached and is held in place with a pronged holder with resistance barbs. The crochet component is additionally held in place by extra yarn that is attached to the bottom of the crochet scrubber and tied to the handle. The preferred embodiment's handle has a grip area with a series of round protrusions to improve handling. The bottle brush may be produced on a wide variety of shapes, colors, sizes and configurations to meet specific needs or individual preferences.

The current document is directed to a new type of grill-cleaning tool that includes one or more scrapers as well as freely sliding scraping pins that conform to the surfaces of a grill to assist the one or more scrapers in removing grease and cooking debris from the surfaces of the grill. The scraping pins are rigid pins, made from durable materials, with scraping-pin shafts generally having diameters or widths of 2 mm or more, as a result of which the scraping pins are not susceptible to shedding and breakage during normal cleaning operations. In addition, unlike brush bristles, the scraping pins are spaced apart from one another and have relatively low surface-area to scraping-pin-number ratios, which decreases the tendency of the scraping pins to become clogged with grease and cooking debris relative to metal brush bristles and greatly facilitates cleaning grease and cooking debris from the grill-cleaning tool.

A method and system for the production of fibers for use in biocomposites is provided that includes the ability to use both retted and unretted straw, that keeps the molecular structure of the fibers intact by subjecting the fibers to minimal stress, that maximizes the fiber's aspect ratio, that maximizes the strength of the fibers, and that minimizes time and energy inputs, along with maintaining the fibers in good condition for bonding to the polymer(s) used with the fibers to form the biocomposite material. This consequently increases the functionality of the biocomposites produced (i.e. reinforcement, sound absorption, light weight, heat capacity, etc.), increasing their marketability. Additionally, as the disclosed method does not damage the fibers, oilseed flax straw, as well as all types of fibrous materials (i.e. fiber flax, banana, jute, industrial hemp, sisal, coir) etc., can be processed in bio composite materials.

The present invention support devices and shoe assembly are for an article that is adjacent to a sink margin, the present invention provides a storage solution for the article and holds the article in an upright position, thereby helping to prevent seepage and loss of soap fluids from the article and also directs sponge drainage either into a sink or a container. The present invention works on sinks that are either under-mounted or drop-in sinks, or can be positioned adjacent to a sink on the countertop. The present invention is easily movable, can be placed in multiple locations, can be easily cleaned and function without the need for suction cups or other attachments. When the article is being used, the present invention is out of the way resulting in minimal conflict with the use and activity around the sink, thereby allowing maximum unimpeded use of the sink area.
