A cleaning composition and uses thereof comprising an aqueous-based gel carrier with a pH range of 5.0-10.0 to remove organic matter from medical devices is described. The gel carrier is infused with viable Bacillus subtilis to enzymatically remove organic matter in a short period of time.

A produce wash system, method, and short-term wash treatment are provided. For example, the produce wash system includes a produce line including a short-term wash device followed by a wash device, a short-term wash treatment that is applied by the short-term wash device to a product, wherein the short-term wash treatment is applied using a spray device that creates micrometer sized droplets, and wherein the short-term wash treatment remains on the product for a pretreatment time that lasts until the product reaches the wash device, and a wash treatment that is applied by the wash device to the product, wherein the wash treatment rinses the short-term wash treatment from the product defining the end of the pretreatment time. The pretreatment time is set at or below a damage threshold time beyond which the short-term wash treatment damages the product beyond a damage threshold.

A method of removing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based scaffold from a 3D printed part formed by a 3D printing process that renders a finished product for immediate use. The method principally involves preparing an acidic-aqueous cleansing solution comprising a mixture of carboxylic acid and water; immersing the 3D printed part conventionally bonded with PVA-based scaffold into the acidic-aqueous cleansing solution for a select amount of time to break down and remove the PVA-based scaffold from the 3D printed part; and adding to the acidic-aqueous cleansing solution a select quantity of polymeric carbohydrate to crosslink and bond with the PVA-based scaffold to effect dissolution thereof into the acidic-aqueous cleansing solution.

A method of facilitating stain removal from a fabric including treating the fabric directly with bacterial spores prior to a laundry process; and subsequently subjecting the fabric to a laundry process.

Pulse dosing is used to administer a cleaning formulation into a fluid process stream flowing through structural components of a processing facility. The fluid process stream may contain corn, corn-derived products, or a combination thereof, or the fluid process stream may contain a process condensate, a rinse fluid, a cleaning fluid or any combination thereof. The processing facility may be an ethanol processing plant, a protein processing plant, a corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and protein processing plant, or an ethanol, corn oil and protein processing plant. Pulse dosing may include administering the cleaning formulation into the fluid process stream for a period of x seconds every y minutes, with no administration of the cleaning formulation between the periods of x seconds.

A transportable system for creating an ORP in water includes an ozone supply unit and a manifold housed in separate enclosures on a wheeled frame. The ozone supply unit feeds into the manifold which contains a plurality of fluid paths and has one or more ozone intake ports. The ozone intake ports are fluidically coupled to one or more ozone output ports of the ozone supply unit. The manifold includes flow switches configured to transmit control signals to one or more controllers of the ozone supply unit in response to sensing a flow of water through the fluid paths in order to cause the ozone supply unit to generate ozone. The manifold also includes fluid mixers that are fluidically coupled to the ozone intake ports and configured to introduce the ozone generated by the ozone supply unit into the water flowing through the fluid paths.

A fluid washing composition with four separate components and laundry washing kit thereof is disclosed. The four components are housed in respective independent tanks of a laundry washing machine equipped with a program for selecting, dosing and differentiated delivering. Component 1 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 4.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 40°-60° C., having a specific action on cotton fibers, particularly, whites. Component 2 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 8.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 15°-40° C., having a specific action on synthetic, colored and animal-origin fibers. Component 3 is an enzyme-based stain-removing formulation including protease and lipase and possibly amylase with a pH of 5.0-6.0, stabilized with sorbitol and calcium chloride. Component 4 is an after-wash conditioning formulation, with a pH of 2.0-4.0.

In a substrate processing method, a rinse process using a rinse solution is performed on a development-processed photoresist pattern on a substrate. A substitution process including a first substitution step using a mixed solution of a non-polar organic solvent and a surfactant and a second substitution step using the non-polar organic solvent is performed on the substrate. The substitution process is performed a plurality of times until the rinse solution remaining on the substrate is less than a predetermined value. A supercritical fluid drying process is performed on the substrate to dry the non-polar organic solvent remaining on the substrate.

A method of treating dishware in a domestic automatic dishwashing machine for from 30 minutes to 50 minutes includes washing the dishware for from 15 minutes to 30 minutes and rinsing the dishware for from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Washing the dishware includes dosing from 2.0 litres to 5.0 litres of water into a cleaning chamber of the domestic automatic dishwashing machine and contacting the dishware in the cleaning chamber with the wash water. At least 10 minutes of washing the dishware is carried out at a temperature ranging from 40° C. to less than 50° C. Rinsing the dishware includes dosing from 2.0 litres to 5.0 litres of rinse water into the cleaning chamber and contacting the dishware in the cleaning chamber with the rinse water. At least 7 minutes of rinsing the dishware is carried out at a temperature ranging from 55° C. to 65° C.

A method of washing a food product with a short-term, intense treatment solution. One example method generally includes: applying, using a short-term wash device, a short-term wash treatment solution to the food product; and applying, using a wash device coupled to the short-term wash device, a wash treatment to the food product such that the wash treatment rinses the short-term wash treatment solution from the food product, wherein: the short-term wash treatment solution is applied to the food product for a shorter duration than the wash treatment is applied to the food product; the short-term wash treatment solution is chemically different from the wash treatment; and the short-term wash treatment solution comprises an acidulant and a polyol.
