37 results about "Soap scum" patented technology

Soap scum or lime soap is the white solid composed of calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, and similar alkali metal derivatives of fatty acids. These materials result from the addition of soap and other anionic surfactants to hard water. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions, which react with the surfactant anion to give these metallic or lime soaps.

Hard surface cleaning compositions and method of removing stains

Improved hard surface cleaning compositions having an acidic pH, providing good removal of soap scum stains, and further feature low levels of irritability to the user. The compositions comprise about 0.1-10% by weight of an acid sequestrant constituent; about 0.1-10% by weight of a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic solvents; about 0.001-1% by weight of a single constituent which exhibits both anionic surfactant and hydrotrope properties; about 0-20% by weight of one or more optional constituents; the balance to 100% by weight of water, wherein the aqueous hard surface cleaning composition exhibits a pH of 7 or less, especially a pH of about 5 or less. Although acidic, the improved hard surface cleaning compositions feature low irritability to the eyes and skin of consumers. The compositions also provide disinfecting effects.

Water soluble magnesium compounds as cleaning agents and methods of using them

The present invention relates to compositions and methods employing a water soluble magnesium compound. In certain embodiments, the composition includes water and water soluble magnesium compound, but lacks other materials commonly used in cleaning compositions. The methods and compositions can provide magnesium ion at predefined ratios to calcium ion in water, such as magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. A water soluble magnesium salt including an anion of a water soluble calcium salt is more effective than a magnesium salt with an anion of a water insoluble calcium salt. These compositions can be used for reducing lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, removing soap scum, or the like.

Shower stall ventilator-drier

ActiveUS8202146B1Avoiding electrical safety concernAvoiding code restrictionLighting and heating apparatusDust-free enclosuresOperating energyOperation mode
A packaged system for selectively (a) exhausting moist air from a shower stall while the shower stall is in use, and (b) drying the ceiling, walls, and floor of the shower stall after use. The system reduces the build-up of mold, mildew, and soap scum in the shower stall, and also reduces excess moisture in the building. A blower moves air through passages opened and closed by dampers driven by an electric damper actuator through a linkage of crank arms and connecting rods. The positioning of the dampers determines the air flow direction, and thereby the operating mode. A control switch starts and stops the system and also selects the damper position. A diffuser, connected to a duct, receives air from the shower stall in the exhaust mode, and alternatively directs drying air from a room air intake onto the surfaces of the shower stall in the drying mode.

The device of the present application is essentially a soap-holding device that suspends the bar of soap from the top surface as opposed to placing it down. The primary objective of this device is to receive various bars of soap through the implementation of a magnet, in a way that prevents them from creating soap-scum and from accumulating harmful bacteria that can form on dirty and unsanitary surfaces. It also creates an intriguing atmosphere to the bathroom or kitchen, while adding a little fun and excitement to washing with bar soap.
