[0073] This chemical composition is preferably used with a method that does not alter this chemical composition's physical and chemical properties. This unaltered chemical composition that is added into a preferred empty fluid encompassing system ensures this chemical composition directly targets this system's contamination, which will create both a physical and chemical reaction on the contamination in this fluid encompassing system.

[0074] A physical reaction occurs when said composition's disinfectant ingredient, glycerin, also a humectant, attracts water from within the contamination cell structure causing a change in the physical properties. A chemical reaction occurs when said composition's disinfectant ingredient, chlorhexidine gluconate, alters the contamination.

[0075] This chemical composition has a pH between 4.0 and 6.5. This chemical composition preferred embodiment is a liquid with water-soluble ingredients that does not leave residue and does not create corrosion within said system. This chemical composition does not contain ingredients that attract bacteria such as sweetener ingredients.

[0076] This chemical composition comprising to clean and/or lubricate fluid encompassing systems, which may also include said systems' components comprising of fluid conduit(s), and/or fluid reservoir(s), and/or valve(s), and/or device(s). These components for a fluid encompassing system such as a fluid reservoir(s), which may be a mixing tank and/or dental water bottle, can also be discrete fluid components. The term, discrete as used herein means a fluid component(s) that encompass a fluid independently with and/or without a fluid encompassing system. These components will become contaminated if not cleaned properly.

[0077] This system and components become contaminated regardless if this system's encompassing fluid quality is treated. This contaminated system contaminates the treated encompassing fluid. Some of the aforementioned factors that contribute to contamination growth in this system, such as a slow moving fluid in the system, the system's stagnant fluid, and from human contamination, which also contaminates this system's encompassing fluid.

[0078] This invention's chemical composition cleans the contamination growth in a fluid encompassing system and components. When this chemical composition is used routinely to clean this system's contamination, this also helps maintain and control the chemical and physical properties for this system's encompassing fluid. This chemical composition also improves this system's fluid flow and helps eliminate odor and foul tasting contamination from this system.

[0079] This chemical composition can remain in said fluid encompassing system and components when this system is not being utilized comprising of consecutive days until this system is ready to be utilized again.

[0080] After this chemical composition cleans and/or lubricates all fluid encompassing systems and components, this chemical composition and contamination must be removed from these systems. This removal process ensures that this chemical composition and contamination are not consumed and does not remain in this system, which could alter the chemical and physical properties for said system's encompassing fluid.

[0081] This chemical composition is specifically formulated comprising to both clean the contamination in this system and also to lubricate this system. This chemical composition lubricates the surfaces of this system's components. Lubricating this system's components such as valves helps improve the functioning of said device(s) and said system.

This chemical composition is compatible with all dental units and is used when patients are not present in the dental operatory to prevent patient exposure to said composition and/or contamination.

[0085] Contamination will still grow in this dental unit water system regardless of the dental unit water source and water treatment products used in the dental office. Establishing standards for dental unit water quality is part of the equation; however, even if a dental office takes precautions to treat their dental unit water source, this step does not address the contamination in the dental unit water system and components. This system and components become contaminated regardless if the dental unit water is treated based on the many aforementioned factors that contribute to contamination growth in this system, such as a slow moving dental unit water, the system's stagnant dental unit water and from human contamination.

[0086] Dental offices should implement this invention's chemical composition into their infection control protocol routinely in order to clean and control the contamination in this dental unit water system to ensure quality dental unit water is provided to patients that consistently meets the recommended CDC water standards. This chemical composition also lubricates this system's valves and improves said system's operation and efficiency. Cleaning and lubricating this system routinely with this chemical composition helps maintain and prolong the life span of this system and components.

[0087] This invention's chemical composition is comprised to clean and/or lubricate a draft beer keg dispensing system, another common example of a fluid encompassing system.

Draft beer, the encompassing fluid for a draft beer keg dispensing system, flows through a keg line, a fluid conduit, from the keg beer, a fluid reservoir, to the dispensing beer faucet, a device.

[0089] The contamination in this beer system is a build up of contamination on the surfaces of this system's components. Contamination in said beer system also contaminates the beer, which alters the beer's taste. This chemical composition is performed routinely to clean this beer keg system, which will provide the consumer a consistent beer quality that is not contaminated.

[0090] This chemical composition is compatible with all draft beer keg dispensing systems. After this chemical composition cleans and/or lubricates this beer dispensing system, this chemical composition and contamination must be removed from this beer dispensing system before this system's encompassing fluid, draft beer, is dispensed for consumption. This removal process comprising of this chemical composition and contamination, ensures that the taste and quality (chemical and physical properties) of said system's dispensing/encompassing fluid, draft beer, is not altered and/or contaminated.

[0091] This invention's chemical composition comprises to clean and/or lubricate all fluid encompassing systems that dispenses a fluid or fluids for in vitro and/or in vivo procedures and/or for consumption. Industries that use a fluid encompassing system must also use a cleaning product such as this invention's chemical composition in order to address the contamination in this system and components.
