The present invention relates to the installation of floorcovering articles on chemically abated flooring surfaces and the composite article resulting therefrom. More specifically, the invention relates to a process for chemical removal of mastic, putty and/or paste material from a flooring surface. The process includes applying abatement chemical to the mastic material on the flooring surface to soften the mastic material and cause it to physically separate and release from the flooring surface, removal of the mastic material and abatement chemical, and the subsequent application of a barrier coating to the flooring surface. The barrier coating reduces and/or eliminates the migration of residual abatement chemicals into floorcovering articles thereinafter installed on the chemically abated flooring surface. The resulting composite article is comprised of a chemically abated flooring surface containing pores, at least one abatement chemical in said pores, a polymer-containing barrier material, and a floorcovering article.

A cleaning solution, composition, and portable cleaner are provided that is all natural, safe, non-toxic, edible, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, deodorizing, and further includes a pleasant fragrance and taste. In addition, the cleaning composition can be free from sugar, alcohol, surfactants, and other harmful or harsh ingredients. In addition, the cleaning composition allows for quick cleaning of any type of object that may be placed in the mouth, such as pacifiers, toys, candy, eating utensils, musical instruments, and mouth-pieces, among others.

The testing of various chemicals has yielded new chemicals and chemical mixtures for the use of removing carbon deposits from the internal combustion engine. Some of these chemicals and chemical mixtures have proven to work better across many different carbon types than other chemicals that were tested. These chemical terpenes are typically produced from plants. One standard terpene mixture is known as turpentine. The chemical turpentine and chemicals found in turpentine have been determined, through our research and testing, to be extremely effective at removing the carbon that is produced within the internal combustion engine.

A chemical composition includes citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, starch, at least one oil, and a liquid composition such as water combined to form a solid tablet. The composition may react with water to produce a film over a body of water, such that the film is used to cover the surface of the contents of a latrine and prevent gasses and odors from escaping the latrine.

The present invention is a surfactant(s) for use as a cleaner and freshener as well as methods for the production/use of such surfactants/cleaners/fresheners. The surfactant is produced using and relying upon properties of the Liquidambar tree, particularly the Liquidambar leaf, by creating a liquid solution useful for cleaning and freshening purposes by soaking or steeping the leaves of Liquidambar in a solvent, preferably water. The solutions formed have been found to be effective for general cleaning and freshening purposes including, but not limited to, all known household cleaning/freshening purposes as well as for personal bodily cleaning/freshening purposes including, but not limited to, body washing, hair washing, tooth brushing, mouth washing, and the like. It is non-allergenic, non-toxic, and will cause no adverse environmental effects.

A cleaning solution for produce includes Himalayan pink crystal salt, turmeric powder, and water. In an embodiment, the turmeric powder is Alleppey finger turmeric powder. The cleaning solution can include equal concentrations of Himalayan crystal salt and Alleppey finger turmeric powder. The cleaning solution for produce can be particularly effective for detoxifying fruits and vegetables of pesticide residues and bacterial contamination.
