The present invention relates to a spraying device suitable for spraying cleaning compositions and rinse water onto hard surfaces, More particularly the spraying device may be attached to a hose, for example a conventional garden hose, so that the cleaning composition and rinse water can be applied to outside surfaces, such as vehicles or the outside surface of windows. The spraying device comprises a purifier located inside the cavity of a container and a spray head.

Spraying device

A process is described wherein a surface, for example the exterior surface of a vehicle, is contacted with a cleaning composition capable of rendering the surface treated hydrophilic and then rinsed with purified rinse water. Preferably the process also involves a pre-wetting step, wherein the surface is rinsed with water prior to being contacted with the cleaning composition, and/or an additional rinsing step, wherein the surface is rinsed with unpurified water prior to rinsing with the purified rinse water.

Process for cleaning a surface

An embodiment is directed to a water treatment cartridge for treating drinking water. The water treatment cartridge may comprise a housing, an inlet for introducing water into the water treatment cartridge, an outlet port for egress of water from the water treatment cartridge, and a first treatment material. The first treatment material may have a core region. The water treatment cartridge also may have a second treatment material. The second treatment material may be contained within the core region of the first treatment material, such that the first treatment material and the second treatment material are in direct contact and direct communication. The second treatment material may be a calcium source. The water treatment cartridge also may have a liquid-pervious retainer. The retainer may cap the outlet port and may extend into the second treatment material. Water may enter the water treatment cartridge via the inlet, the water may then radially enter the first treatment material, then radially flow through the first treatment material, then, at least a portion of the water may radially enter the second treatment material, then axially flow through the second treatment material, then egress the water treatment cartridge via the outlet port.

The present invention relates to compositions for treating shoes, especially leather-containing shoes, such as athletic shoes, and methods and articles of manufacture employing same to treat the shoes prior to and/or during and/or after washing the shoes. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions applied to one or more shoes in need of treatment prior to and/or during and/or after washing the shoes for imparting a desired benefit to the shoes such as cleaning and/or conditioning and/or disinfecting and/or deodorizing.

Compositions for treating shoes and methods and articles employing same

Detergent compositions containing certain acetals or ketals which hydrolyze upon exposure of surfaces washed in solution of said compositions to a reduction in pH, thereby releasing a fragrance which is characteristic of one or more of the hydrolysis products. The acetals and ketals themselves also form part of the invention; they have a molecular weight of at least about 350; a ClogP of about 4, and a half-life of less than 60 minutes when measured at pH&equals;0 by the pro-fragrant hydrolysis test.
