  By the way, some of the dirt adhering to the surface of the object to be cleaned has a strong adhesion. In this case, first, there is a possibility that the dirt cannot be sufficiently removed by the conventional cleaning with the foam and the solvent. Secondly, as in the conventional technique described above, cleaning by attaching bubbles to the surface of the object to be cleaned takes time, and thus there is a possibility that rapid cleaning cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, among people living at home, there are cared persons who need some kind of care by outside caregivers due to physical reasons such as injury and sickness. Usually, for these care recipients, the care content is stored in an electronic storage device such as a personal computer, and predetermined care is provided based on the care content. The content of the care includes, for example, a care time and care method performed in the past, and a care time and care method to be used in the future.

  By the way, of course, even in the above-mentioned care recipient's home, some of the home furnishings correspond to objects to be cleaned. However, it may not be possible for the care recipient or the person in the household to properly clean the object to be cleaned.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to sufficiently remove the dirt by washing even when the adhesion of dirt on the surface of the object to be cleaned is strong. And to make this removal possible quickly.

  Another object of the present invention is to enable the above-described cleaning to be appropriately performed on an object to be cleaned in a home where a cared person is present.

The invention of claim 1 is a cleaning method for purifying the surface 2 of the object 1 to be cleaned,
First, the foam 4 by the detergent 3 is attached to the surface 2 of the article 1 to be cleaned,
Next, the wiper 8 impregnated with the alcohol 7 is wiped off the dirt on the surface 2 of the article 1 to be cleaned together with the bubbles 4.

  In the invention of claim 2, in addition to the invention of claim 1, after the foam 4 and dirt are wiped off by the wiper 8, the alcohol 7 remains on the surface 2 of the article 1 to be cleaned. The surface 2 of the article to be cleaned 1 is polished with wax 10.

  The invention of claim 3 is the one in which the detergent 3 contains a quaternary ammonium salt in addition to the invention of claim 1 or 2.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in addition to any one of the first to third aspects, the alcohol 7 is isopropyl alcohol.

The invention of claim 5 is a household equipment purification system using the cleaning method of claim 1,
Of each care recipient 14, the list corresponding to the item to be cleaned 1 among the household equipment such as kitchenware and air conditioning equipment in each household 13 of each care recipient 14, A database 18 for storing the cleaning contents of the cleaning object 1 is provided. When the care contents of a care receiver 14 are searched based on the database 18, the cleaning object 1 in the home 13 of the care receiver 14 is searched. And a list of cleaning contents to be taken in the future for these objects to be cleaned 1 are searched.

  In this section, the reference numerals appended to the above terms are not to be construed as limiting the technical scope of the present invention to the section “Example” described later or the contents of the drawings.

  The effects of the present invention are as follows.

The invention of claim 1 is a cleaning method for purifying the surface of an object to be cleaned,
First, let the detergent foam adhere to the surface of the object to be cleaned in layers,
Next, dirt on the surface of the object to be cleaned is wiped off together with the bubbles by a wiper impregnated with alcohol.

  According to the above invention, since the detergent adheres to the surface of the object to be cleaned due to the layered foam, the state of the detergent adhering to the surface of the object to be cleaned is maintained to some extent as compared with the case where the detergent remains liquid. The Therefore, a part of the dirt is detached from the surface of the object to be cleaned by the detergent bubbles adhering to the surface of the object to be cleaned, and the strength of adhesion of the other part of the dirt to the surface is weakened.

  Here, the strength of adhesion of dirt to the surface of the object to be cleaned is often based on oil. Therefore, as described above, when the dirt on the surface of the object to be cleaned is wiped off by the wiper, an external force is applied to the dirt from the wiper, and the crack causes many cracks. Then, the alcohol in the wiper immediately enters the crack, so that the oil can be easily dissolved and smoothly removed from the surface of the object to be cleaned.

  Further, as described above, when the foam on the surface of the object to be cleaned is wiped off by the wiper impregnated with alcohol, the alcohol has a defoaming action, so that the foam is wiped more quickly.

  Further, when the wiper removes the dirt on the surface of the object to be cleaned with the wiper, the alcohol evaporates from the surface of the object to be cleaned. At this time, the detergent and moisture remaining on the surface of the object to be cleaned are quickly and forcibly removed by evaporation together with the alcohol by the azeotropic action with the alcohol. Moisture is prevented from remaining on the surface of the object to be cleaned.

  Therefore, even when the adhesion of dirt on the surface of the cleaning object is strong, according to the above-described cleaning method, the dirt is sufficiently removed and the removal is performed quickly.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the surface of the object to be cleaned is polished with wax in a state where alcohol remains on the surface of the object to be cleaned after wiping off the bubbles and dirt with the wiper. ing.

  Here, the wax is an oil and is easily dissolved by alcohol. Therefore, the polishing operation with the wax can be easily performed, and the wax can be spread thinly and uniformly on the surface of the object to be cleaned, so that the surface can be more beautiful.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the detergent contains a quaternary ammonium salt.

  For this reason, the surface of the object to be cleaned is cleaned as described above and sterilized by the quaternary ammonium salt contained in the detergent. Therefore, cleaning and sterilization are performed simultaneously, which is beneficial.

  In the invention of claim 4, the alcohol is isopropyl alcohol.

  Here, since the said isopropyl alcohol is cheap and easy to obtain, each said effect is achieved at low cost.

The invention of claim 5 is a household equipment purification system using the cleaning method of claim 1,
Of each care recipient, the list corresponding to the items to be cleaned out of the household items such as kitchenware and air conditioners in each household of the care recipients, and cleaning of these items to be cleaned A database for storing contents, and when searching for care contents for a care recipient based on the database, a list of the objects to be cleaned in the care recipient's home is searched, and the objects to be cleaned The cleaning contents to be taken in the future for the object are searched.

  For this reason, when an external caregiver who is an administrator of the system knows the care content of a care recipient by searching based on the database, together with this, each object to be cleaned in the caregiver's home You can also know the cleaning contents to be taken. Therefore, appropriate care can be given to the cared person, and at the same time, the object to be cleaned in the cared person's home can be appropriately cleaned, that is, the care and cleaning operations can be rationalized.

  An object of the cleaning method of the present invention is to sufficiently remove the dirt by washing and to quickly remove the dirt even when the adhesion of dirt on the surface of the object to be cleaned is strong. In order to realize the above, the best mode for carrying out the present invention is as follows.

That is, a cleaning method for purifying the surface of an object to be cleaned,
First, let the detergent foam adhere to the surface of the object to be cleaned in layers,
