Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washing and deodorizing agent for removing dirt and odor in a kitchen sink by using microorganisms, and more particularly to a washing and deodorizing agent suitable for removing dirt and odor from a kitchen basket. Agent.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a kitchen sink, food waste and other garbage are prevented from flowing into a drainpipe.
There is a basket that drains the garbage, and this basket has a triangular prism shape called a triangular corner.

[0003] The draining basket is made of a metal net or punched metal, or a synthetic resin material having a large number of small holes formed on the side and bottom surfaces. In each case, only water flows out from the mesh or small holes. In addition, food residues may be clogged in the meshes or small holes, or dirt such as slime or mold may adhere to the drainage holes, resulting in poor drainage of water or offensive odor.

[0004] The above-mentioned food residues, slimes and molds are all organic substances, and tablets or liquid chemical detergents containing an acid or alkali as a main component have been conventionally used to remove these organic substances.

The chemical cleaning agent contacts the surface of the organic substance attached to the drain basket and melts the organic substance by a chemical reaction. However, the cleaning agent which once melts the organic substance and completes the reaction loses the cleaning action and is washed and erased. The effect of the odor is temporary and does not last.

[0006] In addition, when chemical detergents of different types are mixed with each other, there is a danger that toxic gas will be generated in the human body. For example, when a chlorine-based bleaching agent used for bleaching tableware and the like and a chemical detergent are mixed. In some cases, toxic chlorine gas is generated by a chemical reaction.

Further, when waste water from the kitchen is passed through, for example, an aeration-type septic tank, microorganisms that live in the septic tank and decompose organic substances are killed by the acid or alkali of the chemical cleaning agent, and the function of the septic tank is reduced. It can be detrimental.

[0008] When the detergent is a tablet, the tablet itself is used by putting it in a drain basket, but when throwing garbage into a garbage bin or the like, often used tablets are also thrown away. Yes, often wasted.

[0009]

An object of the present invention is to easily and reliably remove dirt and odors in a kitchen sink, especially dirt and odors in a kitchen garbage drain basket, and generate toxic gas. It is safe without such a risk,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning and deodorizing agent that does not adversely affect the function of the septic tank.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the washing and deodorizing agent for kitchen sinks by the microorganism according to the present invention comprises various microorganisms capable of producing amylase, protease, protopectase and cellulase. One or a plurality of types of microorganisms at an appropriate ratio, and a thickener is added.

Further, the washing and deodorizing agent for kitchen sinks by the microorganisms of the present invention are used for drainage baskets of garbage used in sinks.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the cleaning and deodorizing agent according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The cleaning and deodorizing agent of the present invention is capable of removing stains and odors from kitchen sinks, and is particularly suitable for removing stains and odors from drainage baskets of garbage used in kitchen sinks. Microorganisms decompose and remove organic substances such as starch, proteins, animal and vegetable fats and oils, and cellulose, which are substances causing dirt and odor.

The microorganisms include, for example, Bacillus subtilis [ATCC: which has an ability to produce amylase (amylolytic enzyme) and protease (proteolytic enzyme).
55405]) and Bacillus lichniformis (Bacillus lich), which has the ability to produce lipase
eniformis [ATCC: 55406]) and Bacillus polymxa (ATCC: 55407]), which has the ability to produce protopectiase and cellulase (cellulolytic enzyme).

The above-mentioned microorganism is a spore-forming bacterium. In a spore state, it is particularly excellent in heat and chemical resistance and is suitable for storage. In addition, it is harmless even if it adheres to food or enters directly into the mouth of the human body. It has also been proven that

The microorganisms are not used as they are, but the microorganisms described above are added to a mixture of water and a thickener, a surfactant, a preservative, and a stabilizer, and are added to the washing and deodorizing agents. The microbial abundance is set in the range of 1 × 10 ^{4 to} 1 × 10 ⁸ per milliliter.

The thickener imparts a suitable viscosity to the washing and deodorizing agents to cause the washing and deodorizing agents to adhere to the surface of the drain basket, particularly to the inner peripheral side surface, and to prevent the growth of microorganisms in the washing and deodorizing agents. This is for suppressing and stabilizing the composition of the washing and deodorant, and for example, dipropylene glycol is used.

The surfactant is used to facilitate the contact of microorganisms with the surface of the organic substance, and is preferably a non-ionic surfactant having little effect on the activity and propagation of the microorganisms. Used, preservatives are to prevent the growth of microorganisms other than the required microorganisms, for example, 1,2-bentizothiazoline-3-1
Use

The stabilizer is used for suppressing the growth of microorganisms in the detergent and stabilizing the composition of the washing and deodorizing agent, like the thickener.
Use sodium or sodium hydroxide. Further, an opacifier and a pigment for coloring, or a fragrance may be appropriately added.

The composition of the washing and deodorizing agent is, for example, 1% or less of dipropylene glycol as a thickener, 3 to 5% of ethoxylate / alkylphenol as a surfactant, and 1,2-bentizothiazoline-3 as a preservative. -1 is 0.05%, tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate as a stabilizer is 0.05%,
Similarly, sodium hydroxide as a stabilizer is 1% or less, opacifier is 0.05%, and the rest is water. Microorganisms are mixed so that the total number is about 1 × 10 ^{6 in} 1 ml of these mixed solutions. It is included.

The cleaning and deodorizing agent of the present invention constructed as described above is used in a container 1 as shown in FIGS. The container 1 has a cap body 3 attached to an opening 2a on the upper part of the container body 2, and the cap body 3 is provided with a nozzle part 5 for ejecting a washing and deodorizing agent 4 in the container, and a nozzle part 5 when not in use. It has a lid 6 for preventing the washing and deodorant from leaking from the section.

As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3, the nozzle portion 5 has a large number (five in FIG. 3) of ejection ports 7 formed of small holes. The container body 2 is made of a synthetic resin material having some flexibility, and when the container is turned upside down, pressing the concave portions 2b formed on the front and rear surfaces of the container body 2 with a finger causes cleaning and erasing. The odor is spouted from the spout of the nozzle in a shower shape.

Next, a description will be given of a case where the cleaning and deodorizing agent of the present invention configured as described above is used in a drain basket 8 called a triangular corner as shown in FIG. 4 used in a kitchen sink.

First, the garbage in the drainage basket 8 is discarded and lightly rinsed, the lid 6 of the container cap 3 is opened, the container is held by hand, and the nozzle unit 5 is turned to the drainage basket 8, The cleaning and deodorant are jetted in a shower shape by pressing the concave portion 2b formed on the front and rear surfaces of the device 2 with a finger, and the cleaning and the deodorant are evenly spread on the inner and outer surfaces of the drain basket, particularly the net portion 8a.

At this time, since the washing and deodorizing agent contains a thickening agent, the washing and deodorizing agent hardly runs off and adheres sufficiently to the vertical surface including the net portion of the drainage basket. The amount of washing and deodorant used per time is, for example, 50 cm in the inner circumference of the upper edge and 10 cm in height.
In the case of a triangular corner of about cm, it is preferably about 20 to 30 ml depending on the density of the net portion 8a.

Further, it is preferable that the washing and deodorizing agent be put on a drainage basket at night, for example, and left overnight (about 8 hours).

The washing and deodorant applied to the drainage basket adhere to food residues and organic substances, which are substances causing slicking, which adhere to the drainage basket, secrete enzymes, and convert the organic substances into inorganic water,
It decomposes into carbon dioxide and ammonia, digests it, and ingests nutrients from organic matter to become an energy source and proliferates vigorously.

More specifically, Bacillus subtilis (Bac
illus subtilis) secretes amylase (amylolytic enzymes) and proteases (proteolytic enzymes) to degrade starch and proteins, resulting in Bacillus lichuniformis (Bacillus lich).
eniformis) secretes lipases (animal and vegetable fats and oils degrading enzymes) to decompose animal and vegetable fats and oils.
illus polymxa) degrades cellulose by secreting protopectases and cellulases (cellulolytic enzymes).
Further, the odor caused by the organic matter is also removed by decomposing and digesting the organic matter.

The microorganisms used in this embodiment are electrically coupled to and adhere to organic substances. Specifically, microorganisms are negatively charged (−), and organic matter is positively charged (+), so that microorganisms and organic matter are electrically coupled. Even so, there is almost no separation from the organic matter, and as long as the organic matter remains in the drain basket, microorganisms also remain in the drain basket while adhering to the organic matter, and the organic matter is surely decomposed and digested until the organic matter disappears.

In the examples described above, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Bacillus polymxa are used as microorganisms.
Only a few of these microorganisms can be used, or they can be used in place of other microorganisms that secrete enzymes having the same organic substance decomposing action, or other microorganisms that secrete other enzymes can be added. Can also be used.

In addition to the triangular corner type as shown in FIG. 4 described above, there are various types of drainage baskets such as a cylindrical type drainage basket 9 shown in FIG. 5, for example. The method of cleaning and the use of the deodorant are the same as those used for a triangle corner. In addition, the code | symbol 9a in FIG.

The cleaning and deodorizing agent of the present invention contains a thickening agent, and since microorganisms directly adhere to organic substances which are substances causing dirt and odor, the cleaning and deodorizing agent of the kitchen may be used in addition to the above-mentioned kitchen waste basket. The conventional cleaning and deodorizing agents such as a vertical surface of a sink can be suitably used for washing and deodorizing a portion where a sufficient deodorizing effect cannot be obtained by flowing down with a deodorant.

Further, the washing and deodorizing agent of the present invention can wash and deodorize a drain outlet of a sink, a strainer provided at a drain outlet, a drain trap and a drain pipe.

[0033]

The cleaning and deodorizing agent of the present invention contains a thickener, so that it can easily adhere to the vertical inner peripheral surface of the draining basket, and the microorganisms in the cleaning and deodorizing agent are drained. Make sure it comes into contact with organic matter, which is the cause of dirt, on the basket.

Microorganisms in contact with organic matter secrete enzymes that decompose organic matter, decompose and decompose into inorganic matter, and actively use and propagate this organic matter as an energy source.
Washing and deodorization are performed reliably and for a long time until the surface of the drain basket has no organic matter.

Since the cleaning and deodorizing agent of the present invention does not contain a chemical such as acid or alkali as a main component, it is toxic to the human body even when mixed with another cleaning agent such as a chlorine bleach. There is also a merit that there is no danger of generating gas, it can be used easily and safely, and there is almost no danger of impairing the function of the septic tank as in a conventional cleaning agent containing a chemical as a main component. .
