Sanitizing and disinfecting compositions with relatively low levels of free available chlorine, with good effectiveness against microbes, included in a burstable pouch of a system also including a plurality of initially undosed (e.g., dry) wipes in a resealable package thereof. The composition may include less than 0.5% by weight hypochlorite or other free available chlorine level, with a pH less than 12. The composition is long term stable in the pouch, but upon bursting of the pouch and dosing of the wipes, exhibits only short-term stability. Because of the low level of hypochlorite, the dosed wipes exhibit improved surface compatibility and negligible “bleach” odor, while providing at least a 3-log reduction in C. diff population within 10 minutes.

This present application discloses use of a hydrogen peroxide solution for a filter media cleaning and sanitizing system which is designed to dispense the solution to disinfect an air filter. The system is attached to an existing air filter, allowing the system to lightly mist the filter media with the solution. The invention also adjusts the ions in the air system to eradicate germs, bacteria, viruses, and other airborne pathogens, and functions as a sanitization method for any type of air or HVAC system.

A system and method for cleaning disks includes a cleaning disk rotatably supported by a structural frame, the rotatable cleaning disk defining a plurality of holes, the plurality of holes carrying disks to be cleaned. The rotatable cleaning disk disposed between a first plurality of brushes and a second plurality of such that each of the first plurality of brushes and the second plurality of brushes contacting and agitating surfaces of the disks. A washing tank is supported by the structural frame and defines a reservoir of cleaning solution. At least a portion of the rotatable cleaning disk and the first and second pluralities of brushes are submerged in the cleaning solution. A blower forces heated air over the disks to be cleaned and removes cleaning solution from the disks, and a light source irradiates the disks to be cleaned for a predetermined amount of time.

A cleaning system includes a mobile base that enables movement of the cleaning system. The cleaning system also includes a camera that captures an image of a cleaning location and an ultraviolet light source that transmits a disinfecting light output toward the cleaning location. Additionally, the cleaning system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving the image of the cleaning location from the camera and determining a distance from the ultraviolet light source to the cleaning location using the image. Further, the operations include determining a cleaning time period of the cleaning location using the distance from the ultraviolet light source to the cleaning location and controlling the ultraviolet light source to transmit the disinfecting light output for a duration of the cleaning time period.

A shoe treating apparatus including a sensor part including at least one sensor, a motor part configured to control tilting of at least one shelf, and a processor electrically connected to the sensor part and the motor part is provided. The processor may identify an approach of a user by using the at least one sensor, and may generate, based on the identified user approach, a control signal for adjusting a tilt speed of the at least one shelf. Also, the processor may transmit the generated control signal to the motor part to adjust the tilt speed of the at least one shelf. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

A shoe treating apparatus includes an upper cabinet, a lower cabinet disposed below the upper cabinet, an electronic component part disposed below the lower cabinet, a sensor part, and a processor electrically connected to the electronic component part and the sensor part. The processor may identify at least one of a material, a type, and a condition of at least one shoe in the upper cabinet, and based on the identification, perform normal treatment on the at least one shoe in the upper cabinet through the electronic component part. The processor may identify at least one of a material, a type, and a condition of at least one shoe in the lower cabinet, and based on the identification, perform intensive treatment on the at least one shoe in the lower cabinet through the electronic component part. A method of operating the shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

A shoe management apparatus including a cabinet defining an inner space for storing shoes, an exhaust port disposed at a rear surface of the inner space and discharging air into the inner space, and a circulation filter disposed on an inner wall of the cabinet and for filtering air within the inner space of the cabinet, the circulation filter including an upper portion including a first opening and a lower portion including a second opening, the lower portion being disposed below the upper portion.

A shoe management apparatus including a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving a shoe therein, a first supply portion for guiding a fluid flow and extending towards the receiving space, and a second supply portion at least partially disposed inside the first supply portion and protruding in a longitudinal direction of the first supply portion to supply a fluid into the shoe.

A shoe management apparatus including a receiving portion defining a receiving space for receiving shoes therein, a first supply portion for guiding flow of a fluid towards the receiving portion, the first supply portion including a stationary duct disposed above the receiving space, a flexible duct connected to the stationary duct and able to rotate to change shape, a rotatable duct connected to the flexible duct and a first driver connected to the rotatable duct and for generating a rotational force to rotate the rotatable duct.

A cleaning, sanitizing or disinfecting scrubbing device includes a body, a non-thermal plasma generator and damp wipe. Generated plasma activates fluid in the wipe. The device may include spacer posts between the body and wipe and a conductive mesh between the body and wipe or embedded in the wipe. Another embodiment includes a reservoir for holding a water-based fluid, a fluid delivery element connected to the reservoir by a tube through which the fluid can flow and a non-thermal plasma generator. The non-thermal plasma generator activates the fluid. In one embodiment the scrubbing device is a mitt. In another embodiment the scrubbing device is a glove.
