JPH01229873A - Washing and bleaching of mop - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To extremely effectively clean and bleach mops in cleaning and bleaching mops by using a chlorinated isocyanuric acid. CONSTITUTION:Mops are cleaned and bleached by using an alkali bleaching detergent which contains a chlorinated isocyanuric acid, especially sodium dichloroisocyanurate, sodium dichloroisocyanurate hydrate or potassium dichloroisocyanurate and has a carbonate as an inorganic builder. Concentration of effective chlorine prepared is preferably 10-1,000ppm. By using the oxidizing agent, cleaning and bleaching which have been difficult to perform can be effectively carried out. This method is especially effective to mop canvas.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an effective method for cleaning and bleaching used and contaminated cleaning mops. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cleaning and bleaching method using chlorinated isocyanuric acid in a method of cleaning and bleaching contaminated cleaning mops using a rotary washer or a drum type washer.

(Prior Art and Problems) A rental motsupu used for cleaning floors, furniture, etc. is made of a canvas consisting of a motsupu cord on one side of a base fabric and a motsupu holder on the other side to which a handle is fixed. Used and contaminated motu are collected, washed and bleached using a rotary washing machine called a washer, and then dyed and oil-absorbed before being used again and again as rental motsu. Conventionally, in this washing and bleaching process, commercial detergent is added and washing and bleaching is carried out in a washer or a drum-type washing machine, but washing and bleaching the canvas part of the mop was particularly difficult.

Since the purpose of motupu is to absorb and wipe away dust and dust, it is impregnated with various oils and activators, and the components that cause dirt and stains are dissolved in these oil components, which is what makes it difficult to wipe off dirt and dust. This makes it difficult to remove using bleach.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an effective method for cleaning and bleaching mops, especially mops with a canvas base fabric.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of intensive research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that among chlorine bleaches, inorganic chlorine agents such as sodium hypochlorite and highly bleached powder Although it does not show any bleaching effect, the present invention was completed after discovering that the use of chlorinated isocyanuric acid has a surprisingly high effect on bleaching motsu.

That is, the present invention relates to a method for bleaching mops, which is characterized by using chlorinated isocyanuric acid in washing and bleaching mops.

As the chlorinated isocyanuric acid, sodium dichloroisocyanurate, a hydrate of sodium dichloroisocyanurate, potassium dichloroisocyanurate, etc. are preferable.

When using chlorinated isocyanuric acid, it is more preferable to use an inorganic builder and a surfactant together.

Inorganic builders include sodium orthophosphate, potassium orthophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, potassium hexametaphosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, potassium tripolyphosphate, sodium metasilicate, potassium metasilicate and sodium aluminate, potassium aluminate, sodium sulfate, Examples include sodium carbonate.

Moreover, as the surfactant, a nonionic surfactant or anionic surfactant is preferable.

Particularly preferred are nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and/or polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ether.

The amounts of the chlorinated isocyanuric acid, inorganic builder, and surfactant to be added are preferably 100 to 1000 parts by weight of the inorganic builder and 2 to 100 parts by weight of the surfactant to 100 parts by weight of chlorinated isocyanuric acid.

In use, it is preferable to adjust the available chlorine to a range of 100 to 11,000 pp, and wash and bleach using warm water. Furthermore, various chelating agents and anti-recontamination agents such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose may be added as metal sequestering agents.

The reason why chlorinated isocyanuric acid is more effective in cleaning and bleaching dirty motsu than other inorganic chlorine agents is that other inorganic chlorine agents have no affinity with the oil used in motu, but chlorinated Isocyanuric acid has an affinity for this oil, and
With calcium hypochlorite, etc., the calcium component is captured by the metal ion sequestration (chelate) effect in the detergent, resulting in the effects of penetration, emulsification, dissolution, and dispersion, which are the original effects of detergents. This is thought to be because the effects of

[Evaluation Method] Method for Preparing A8 Artificially Stained Fabric Artificially stained fabrics for the washing performance test were prepared using cotton and vinylon fabrics in accordance with JIS C-9606.

B. Evaluation method Using a 4-bar detergency tester (Targottometer, manufactured by United States Testing Company), add 500ml of distilled water to a stainless steel detergent, and add Tables 1 and 2 to it. Add 1g of bleach and detergent described in C0 below, and after WjM, add 5 pieces of each of the Motsupu canvas (vinylon base fabric) or artificially contaminated cloth, and heat at 57-60°C at 180 rotations/min for 15 minutes. After washing for minutes, rinsing with running water, drying with warm air at 30°C for 1 hour, measure the degree of cleaning of the motu canvas by measuring the color change of 5 sheets using a colorimetric color difference system, and average the Y value. Expressed as a value. The results are shown in Table-1 and Table-2.
