[0116] As another example, the present method of use is directed toward personal care products and particularly a compound directed toward a liquid solution or formulation can be any liquid, any liquid which can be absorbed into a wet wipe or similar material, and may include various suitable components. For example, and in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the components may include water, solubles, creams, lotions, medicaments, antimicrobials, antibiotics, and other emollients, surfactants, scents or fragrances, agents, buffers, or any combination thereof.

[0117] The formulations in various applications of the present disclosure may vary depending on the application of the compound. For example, the liquid amount within each wet wipe may vary depending on the material type being used to provide the wet wipe. Furthermore, the liquid amount within each wet wipe may also vary depending on the packaging being used to provide the wet wipe. Furthermore, the liquid amount within each wet wipe may also vary depending on desired end use of the wet wipe.

[0118] As one example, a method of use for cleaning a surface is directed to a small single use, wet wipe provided from a sealed package, both of which are discarded after use. In this embodiment, as one example of a method of use, the wet wipe and packaging can be likened to wet wipes and general wetness as is known in the art for hand wipes. In this way, and in this method of use, generally, each wet wipe is rectangular or square in shape and may be folded within the packaging. A package may include one wet wipe for a single hand, or may include two wet wipes, one for each hand, in this type of single use application.

[0119] As one example, a method of use for cleaning a surface is directed to wet wipes for various surface cleaning, such as in and around food preparation areas. In this example of a method of use, the wet wipes may be provided as a plurality of wet wipes which are stored within a disposable container likely housing many wet wipes that are used and applied over a period of time. In this way, and in this method of use, the wet wipes may be generally rectangular or square and may be in a rolled format such that a single wet wipe can be unrolled and/or dispensed for use. Similarly, the wet wipes, as a roll may be a single material with perforations such that each wipe tears during the dispensing process. These arrangements and other applications are hereby contemplated for use.

[0120] As one example, a method of use for cleaning a surface is directed to provides a unique combination of compounds and a wipe and/or product that provides at least one of the following benefits when applied to the surface of the skin and/or applied to a surface: (i) promotes effective removal of debris and particularly smoke, ash, or debris related to smoking, food, and/or drink; (ii) removes and/or kills odor causing bacteria and/or odor causing agents that tend to stick to the skin, such as a hand, a face, and the like and/or other surfaces such as a barbecue grill, cooking surface, and the like; (iii) inhibits and/or removes and/or kills bacterial growth and/or microbial growth and/or odor causing organisms and the like.

[0121] In accordance with the present method of use, as one example, the compound and/or solution created for a substrate is highly suitable for a spray application and/or in a wipe application and/or in an absorbent material application. Furthermore, and in this way, the solution that is used in combination with an absorbent article substrate, a user can control the contents of stickiness, tobacco and cannabis debris, and remove unwanted odors, while replacing with desirable scents and desirable organic, safe materials which are safe for application to skin and other surfaces, while also providing bacteria and yeast control for a surface.

[0122] In another example, as a method of use, the present disclosure is directed toward personal care products and particularly a compound, and is meant for use on human skin such as hands, arms, face, neck, legs, and other skin surfaces. The compound or unique combination of contents and creation of a unique personal care product which improves the health, smell, feel, and the like of a skin surface and particularly hands. Once the surface is contacted by a wipe or absorbent article, the wipe with substrate and/or the absorbent article, in the present disclosure, impart health improvements and the like for a user.

[0123] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other various modifications could be made to the products, compounds, and methods of use without parting from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. All such modifications and changes fall within the scope of the claims and are intended to be covered thereby.
