An advanced cleaning system having a handle portion with a proximal end and a distal end, a cleaning head portion, the cleaning head portion adapted for use with a removable cleaning pad, and a cleaning fluid reservoir fluidically coupled to the cleaning head portion such that cleaning fluid is controllably allowed to flow via gravity onto the surface to be cleaned adjacent the cleaning head portion.

Advanced cleaning system

A method for cleaning a surface using a tool with both a cleaning head and a cleaning fluid reservoir housing coupled to an elongated handle, the method comprising the following steps: attaching a cleaning pad to the cleaning head; inserting a replaceable cleaning fluid reservoir into the housing; fluidically coupling the cleaning fluid reservoir to the cleaning head; dispensing controlled amounts of cleaning fluid from the reservoir onto a surface; and distributing the cleaning fluid evenly over the surface with the cleaning pad.

A cleaning formulation, in tablet form, capable of providing uniform delivery of cleaning agents, fragrance and colorants while immersed in a the tank of a toilet. The tablet comprises a solubility-controlling matrix of a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, and an alkyl sulfate surfactants, a monoalkanolamide dissolution control agent, a hydroxyethylcellulose binder; and cleaning actives including a peroxygen bleach, organic and inorganic salts, and aesthetic agents to signal ongoing cleaning effectiveness

A method for opening drains using a phase stable, viscoelastic drain opening composition includes introducing to a drain pipe restriction or clog a mixture having a cleaning active and a viscoelastic thickening system containing a quaternary ammonium compound, an organic counterion, and a free amine. The amount of free amine in the composition is limited, and is based on the amount of the quaternary ammonium compound present, in order to maintain phase stability and to achieve further enhanced rheological and aesthetic properties in the composition. The viscoelastic quality of the composition permits rapid penetration of the formulation through standing water with minimal dilution to deliver actives to the clog material, thus providing advartageous utility as a drain opener.
