A pre-loaded cleaning substrate, and related systems and methods for picking up particles with an aspect ratio (L/D) greater than 300 (e.g., hair), or greater than 1200 (e.g., particularly long hairs). The substrate (e.g., a nonwoven) may include only a single layer of material. The pre-loaded substrate is loaded (e.g., during manufacture) with a cleaning composition. The fibers of the substrate may have an average diameter less than 15 m, the substrate may have an air permeability of 35 ft.sup.3/min to 75 ft.sup.3/min, and the liquid cleaning composition may have a surface tension of less than about 50 dynes/cm. Together, the combination of the particular substrate and cleaning composition may facilitate markedly improved ability to pick up high L/D aspect ratio particle debris (e.g., such as hair), while retaining such particles (e.g., providing hair retention index values of at least 20).

The touchup paint applicator system includes a paint capsule, an activator, a sponge, and a handle. The sponge may be operative to clean a surface. As a non-limiting example, the surface may be a wall. The activator may be pressed to pierce the paint capsule, located within a cavity inside of the handle. The pierced paint capsule may release paint into the sponge. Released paint may be applied to the surface by placing the sponge, soaked with the released paint, against the surface. The handle may hinge open to provide access to the paint capsule.

The present invention is to provide a method for producing a laminate having excellent adhesion properties. An embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing a laminate, the method including: a step 1 of dry-treating a surface A of a plastic to obtain a dry-treated plastic having a surface B that has been dry-treated; a step 2 of wiping the surface B with a cleaning tool containing a composition for wiping, the composition containing at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of water and polar solvents, and a silane coupling agent, to obtain a cleaned plastic having a surface C that has been wiped with the cleaning tool; and a step 3 of applying at least one selected from the group consisting of adhesives and primers on the surface C to obtain a laminated body.

A cleaning device, especially an instrument cleaning device, having a thin, flexible threadlike object with a first straight end and a second looped end and a swab member attached to the looped end.

The disclosed invention utilizes deformable gaskets configured to form a seal which slides through the grooves and across the tops of escalator and travelator treads and using evacuation cleaning components as either a complete escalator and travelator tread cleaning machine or an accessory device configured to operate with an existing vacuum carpet evacuation apparatus. The disclosed gaskets in combination with evacuation and spray nozzle manifolds connected by escalator and travelator groove passages form a basic embodiment of the disclosed tread engagement assembly. In certain embodiments, the disclosed apparatus utilizes certain components of carpet evacuation equipment in combination with the disclosed v for cleaning escalator and travelator treads, including both the risers and treads of the escalator and travelator.

Alkaline sprayable aqueous compositions are disclosed. In particular, sprayable alkaline aqueous chlorine compositions including a surfactant system for modifying the viscosity of the composition, are combined with an alkalinity source and a chlorine source. Methods of cleaning having reduced amounts of airborne particulates of the composition during spray applications are also provided according to the invention, namely reduction of airborne particulates having a micron size of 10 or less within a breathing zone of a user of less than or equal to 60 particles/cm.sup.3.

The cleaning device provided in the present disclosure includes a housing, the housing includes at least two housing units formed by sectioning the housing, and two adjacent housing units are detachably connected with each other. The housing is provided with a storage device, a recovery device, and a liquid-supplying device; an opening is arranged on the housing and a guide head is provided in the opening. The storage device stores a cleaning cloth, which is drawn out of the storage device and extends out of the housing via the opening, and which extends into the housing via the opening after going around the guide head and is then connected to the recovery device. The recovery device is configured to draw the cleaning cloth to the recovery device to recover the cleaning cloth.

A wipe system is provided that is comprised of an inner portion sealed within an outer portion before use. The inner portion, which is used for cleaning, for example, may be wetted or saturated with a disinfecting fluid. Removal of an edge associated with the outer portion allows it to be opened to expose the inner portion. The wipe remains interconnected to the outer portion during use so that an opposite side of the outer portion is the only surface in contact with the user's hand.

Provided is a cleaning device, comprising a wiper, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, a first elastic clamp and a second elastic clamp. The first clamping plate comprises a first plate body, a first bent portion and a first end portion. The first bent portion extends between the first plate body and the first end portion in a bent manner. The second clamping plate comprises a second plate body, a second bent portion and a second end portion. The second bent portion extends between the second plate body and the second end portion in a bent manner. The wiper is positioned between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The cleaning device is moved relative to the nozzle to wipe the nozzle for cleaning. The wiper will not generate pollution and basically causes no wear to the nozzle.

A wipe that can be used deodorize, disinfect, and/or sterilize an object. A wipe manipulator may be used with a wipe to create, energize, or enhance one or more treatment agent in a wipe to improve its efficacy. Desirably, a wipe manipulator is flexible to accommodate to curved surfaces. A wipe includes a flexible membrane or cloth-like element that may apply, distribute, and/or remove a treatment agent to, over, or from a surface of the object. An enhanced treatment agent, such as peracetic acid, may be applied to the surface subsequent to being formed in the wipe as a result of installation of the wipe onto a manipulator, or otherwise activating the wipe. A wipe manipulator may include one or more rechargeable reservoir to contain and apply a synergistic treatment agent to the wipe to create the enhanced treatment agent.
