A wiping solution dispenser utilizes a motorized dispenser mechanism that moves a nozzle back and forth along a stroke to dispense a wide band of wiping solution onto toilet tissue. A motor may be coupled with a nozzle that moves back and forth or rotates about a pivot point to dispense a band of wiping solution. Wiping solution may be within a solution container that is configured for insertion into the dispenser housing and may be automatically ruptured by a puncture feature. A pump may force the wiping solution from the nozzle, or the solution may be gravity fed. A motion detector may be incorporated to control the actuation and dispensing of the solution. A near field communication transceiver may be used to receive payment before solution is dispensed.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a cleaning apparatus having an adjustable exposed surface area, the cleaning apparatus including: a flexible body with a predetermined flexible body area, the flexible body having a flexible body collapsible portion; and a panel with a predetermined panel area which is lesser than the predetermined flexible body area, the panel coupled to the flexible body to form a receptacle sized to receive the flexible body collapsible portion when the flexible body collapsible portion disposes in a collapsed condition; wherein the cleaning apparatus is adjustable between a first configuration, in which the cleaning apparatus has a lesser exposed surface area, and a second configuration, in which the cleaning apparatus has a greater exposed surface area; and wherein the first configuration is generated by removably inserting the flexible body collapsible portion disposed in the collapsed condition into the receptacle.

A hard surface cleaning composition, methods of cleaning a hard surface with a low hysteresis composition and disposable premoistened pads for cleaning hard surfaces are provided. The hard surface cleaning composition includes from 0.01 wt. % to 7 wt. % of a solvent selected from the group consisting of a propylene glycol phenyl ether, a dipropylene glycol phenyl ethers and mixtures thereof and at least 92% water. The cleaning composition has a pH from about 3.5 to 9.5 and is free of anionic surfactant and alkanolamine.

Device (1) for cleaning a coating material (2), in particular a coating material (2) provided on a workpiece (4), the workpiece (4) preferably consisting at least in parts of wood, wood materials or plastic, comprising a cleaning element (10) for removing soilings from the coating material (2), a conveying unit (20) for causing a relative movement between the cleaning element (10) and the coating material (2), and a cleaning agent application unit (30, 30) for applying a preferably liquid cleaning agent to the cleaning element (10).

A work type identification apparatus (2000) acquires, for a target region (12) of a target object (10) on which a wiping work is to be performed, a temperature data sequence (40) indicating a time variation of a temperature of the target region (12). The work type identification apparatus (2000) determines a type of wiping work performed on the target region (12) based on the time variation of the temperature of the target region (12) indicated by the temperature data sequence (40).

A head-mounted device includes an external facing sensor configured to generate a signal corresponding to a characteristic of an external environment. A controller is configured to determine that a quality of the signal is below a threshold value and take an action in response. Another embodiment includes a case for storing a head-mounted device that includes a cleaner coupled with a base or a lid of case. The cleaner is configured to clean a portion of the head-mounted device when the head-mounted device is inserted into and/or removed from the case.

A fluid ejection device that includes a housing, a fluid reservoir disposed in the housing and a fluid ejection head. A revolving maintenance station that includes an ejection head wiper and an ejection head capping device is movably attached to the housing and is configured for rotation to selectively position the ejection head wiper or the ejection head capping device adjacent to the fluid ejection head.

A cleaning article. The cleaning article has a laminate construction. The cleaning article comprises a sheet and a hydrophilic gather strip element joined together at an elongate bond. The gather strip element has plural layers folded upon one another, providing strips extending outwardly from the bond. The folded layers provide a construction which allows the strips to advantageously present a dynamically changing area to the target surface during cleaning, under normal usage conditions. By changing the surface area, more liquids, and associated debris, can be cleaned from the target surface.

Cleaning kits for wearable devices that are simple to use, are less likely to damage wearable devices, and are effective at cleaning wearable devices. An example can include a cleaning cloth, a softening solution, a brush, and a soft gel. The cleaning cloth can be a lint-free cloth. The softening solution can be a protein emulsifier. The softening solution can be provided in an ampule or other sealed container. The brush can be formed of an elastomer, such as silicone, to reduce the chance of damage to a wearable device. The brush can have a snowball pattern to further reduce the chance of damage. The soft gel can be a hydrogel solution. The soft gel can be biodegradable and can be provided in a pouch having a tear notch.
