METHOD OF PREVENTING A FOUL ODOR IN AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE STATIONS

A method of preventing foul odors in an automotive service station comprising mixing a disinfectant which is effective against bacteria and algae into water used to make a glass cleaner solution which is stored in squeegee buckets in the automobile service station. 1. A method of preventing foul odors in automotive service stations having a glass cleaner solution stored in an open topped squeegee bucket for use by its patrons to clean windows of an automobile , comprising mixing a disinfectant in an effective amount in water used to make a glass cleaner solution to substantially stop the growth of bacteria and algae in said glass cleaner solution.2. The method according to wherein said disinfectant is quaternary ammonium mixed in water in a proportion of approximately one half pound per 1000 gallons of water. This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 61/882,706 filed on Sep. 26, 2013.This invention concerns the elimination of a swampy odor to which patrons of automotive service stations are sometimes exposed.Service stations now typically sell prepared food, and the odors which have sometime been evident in service stations, is particularly off-putting to customers who may be thinking of purchasing food.Tracing the source of such foul odor is difficult as it could originate from various sources in the station, i.e., drains, rest rooms, spillages, food service, waste receptacles, etc.Furthermore, the way to abate such an odor is not obvious even when the source of the odor is known.Since the cleaning solution in a squeegee bucket is typically quickly used up before any odors would be produced and does not usually stay in the bucket for long periods, the possibility that the cleaning solution could be the source of such odor was not widely realized.While the possibility that such odors might originate from the cleaning solution in a squeegee bucket has been suspected, it was not previously realized why this would be so, and the only ...

Bleaching compounds comprising n-acyl caprolactam for use in hand-wash or other low-water cleaning systems

The present invention relates to a method of cleaning fabrics with heavy soil loads or by hand-washing with detergent compositions comprising N-acyl caprolactam bleaching activators.

Hard surface treatment compositions with improved mold or fungi remediation properties

Provided are hard surface treatment compositions which provide improved mold and/or fungi remediation properties which compositions are formed from two aqueous mixtures which are admixed immediately prior to use or upon use. The hard surface treatment compositions contain an oxidizing agent, preferably a hypochlorite. In addition to a mold and/or fungi remediation effect, the composition may also be useful in the cleaning treatment and/or disinfection or sanitization treatment of hard surfaces. Methods for the remediation of mold and/or mold spores and/or fungi on surfaces are also disclosed.
