SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ELECTROLYZED WATER
The described systems and methods relate to systems for providing a cleaning solution comprising electrolyzed water. While the cleaning systems can comprise any suitable component, in some cases, they include an electrolytic cell and at least one fluid conditioning system that includes a first conduit and a second conduit that are coupled together and are non-concentric with each other. While the fluid conditioning system can be disposed in any suitable location with respect to the cell, in some cases, the fluid condition system is disposed upstream of the cell to provide fluid that passes through the first and second conduits into the cell. In some cases, the fluid conditioning system is disposed downstream of the cell to receive an electrolyzed water produced by the cell. In some cases, the fluid conditioning system is configured to recirculate electrolyzed oxidizing water through an anode compartment of the cell. Other implementations are described.
Systems and methods for conditioning electrolyzed water
The present invention relates to systems and methods for cleaning materials, such as flooring and upholstery. In some cases, the systems and methods use an electrolytic cell to electrolyze a solution comprising sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium percarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and/or any other suitable chemical to generate electrolyzed alkaline water and/or electrolyzed oxidizing water. In some cases, the cell comprises a recirculation loop that recirculates anolyte through an anode compartment of the cell. In some cases, the cell further comprises a sensor and a processor, where the processor is configured to automatically change an operation of the cell, based on a reading from the sensor. In some cases, a fluid flows past a magnet before entering the cell. In some additional cases, fluid from the cell is conditioned by being split into multiple conduits that run in proximity to each other. Additional implementations are described.
Surface cleaning apparatus
A surface cleaning apparatus, such as a fluid delivery or steam mop, comprises a handle assembly comprising a steam distributor and a foot assembly pivotally attached to the handle assembly and comprising a base housing. The foot assembly can be used in two positions, whereby opposing sides of a cleaning pad on the base housing can selectively engage a surface to be cleaned. The foot assembly is further swivelable relative to the steam distributor, such that fluid can be delivered to the surface to be cleaned in both of the two use positions.
EXTRACTION CLEANER
A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing having a base and a partition, a supply tank removably mounted on the housing, and a recovery tank removably mounted on the housing. The tanks can be mounted within voids defined by portions of the housing. Latches can secure the tanks to the housing.
Handheld extraction cleaner
A handheld extraction cleaner includes a unitary body provided with a carry handle, and further provided with a supply tank, a recovery tank, and a suction source, all of which are carried on the unitary body. The various components of the extraction cleaner can be arranged for a balanced weight in hand. The supply tank can be integrated with a fluid distributor in a removable, modular unit.
Steam cleaning apparatus
A steam cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning head, a handle operably coupled with the cleaning head, a supply tank, a steam generator in fluid communication with the supply tank, and a steam outlet in fluid communication with the steam generator. A diverter is provided in a steam distribution path between the steam generator and the steam outlet and is configured to selectively divert steam away from the steam outlet.
Systems and apparatus for producing electrolyzed alkaline and oxidizing water
The present invention relates to systems and methods for cleaning materials, such as flooring and upholstery. In some cases, the systems and methods use an electrolytic cell to electrolyze a solution comprising sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium percarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and/or any other suitable chemical to generate electrolyzed alkaline water and/or electrolyzed oxidizing water. In some cases, the cell comprises a recirculation loop that recirculates anolyte through an anode compartment of the cell. In some cases, the cell further comprises a sensor and a processor, where the processor is configured to automatically change an operation of the cell, based on a reading from the sensor. In some cases, a fluid flows past a magnet before entering the cell. In some additional cases, fluid from the cell is conditioned by being split into multiple conduits that run in proximity to each other. Additional implementations are described.
DEVICE FOR CLEANING WALKABLE SURFACES
A scrubber-dryer device for cleaning walkable surfaces, as for example floors, pavements, asphalted roads, etc., adapted to move forward automatically and to be steered manually by an operator, and including a cleaning lower base body connected on its upper part by a movable jointing element to a steering means lengthened upward the lower base body including a frame to which one or more lower brushing means are fixed to, at least a wetting system fixed to the frame, and at least a dirt collection system fixed to the frame, the jointing element formed by a lengthened elastic and internally hollow push element, constrained with its lower end portion to the frame, in the barycenter point of the lower body and with its upper end portion to the steering element.
FLOOR CLEANER
A floor cleaner including a vacuum source, a supply tank configured to store a cleaning fluid, and a distribution nozzle in fluid communication with the supply tank. The distribution nozzle is configured to dispense the cleaning fluid onto a surface to be cleaned. The floor cleaner further includes a base movable over a surface to be cleaned, the base includes a suction inlet in fluid communication with the vacuum source, a brushroll chamber, a brushroll in the brushroll chamber, the brushroll rotatable about a brushroll axis. The base further includes a brushroll cover releasably attached to the base, the brushroll cover removable to access the brushroll chamber and the brushroll, the brushroll cover having a squeegee that contacts the brushroll. The brushroll axis is between a lower end of the base and the squeegee.
Extraction cleaner
A surface cleaning apparatus includes a housing, a fluid delivery system including a supply tank removably mounted on the housing and a fluid distributor, a fluid recovery system having a recovery tank removably mounted on the housing, an extraction nozzle, a motor/fan assembly, and a supply tank receiver provided on the housing for receiving the supply tank and comprising a void at least partially defining a seat for the supply tank.
