Description
United States Patent SPO'I'I'ING COMPOSITION Morris Bittenfield, 2127 Division St., (Ihicago, Ill. No Drawing. Filed Aug. 7, 1956, Ser. No. 602,509
3 Claims. Cl. 252-91 The invention relates generally to cleaning mixtures and/or spotting compositions and more particularly to such a mixture and/or spotting composition which is adapted for use in connection with dry cleaning plants and the like.
The invention has among its objects the production of a cleaning mixture which is particularly adapted for removing water soluble spots and the like from all kinds of garments of natural 01W leather, which will not shri or wrr material, or'result in the bleeding of dyes.
Another object of the invention is the production of such a soap which not only will remove stains from fur and leather, but is adapted to improve the condition of the leather or fur, making them softer and heavier.
A further object of the invention is the production of such a cleaning mixture which is very effective in wet cleaning, readily removing milk, calcium, vomit, sweat, urine and other similar stains, the mixture being designed to provide a protective element for the fibers of the material, to form a protective coating which will prevent wrinkles and in which rinsing of the garment following the cleaning operation is not necessary.
Many other objects and advantages of the construction herein shown and described will be obvious to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein given.
The present invention contemplates a cleaning mixture which may consist of a combination of materials, preferably including one ingredient for softening fibers, furs, leathers, etc., an ingredient for thinning the softening ingredient, an ingredient for cleaning purposes, and an ingredient for blending the softening and thinning ingredients with the cleaning ingredient. Thus, for example, as hereiafter described in detail, the cleaning mixture may comprise a suitable oil for softening the materials to be cleaned, soap for cleaning purposes, a dilute alkali adapted to prevent certain dyes from running, and an acid to prevent other dyes from running, acid and alkali also facilitating blending of the oils and soap.
I have found that a cleaning mixture produced in accordance with the present invention is extremely effective in dissolving and removing all'types of stains not normally removed by the usual cleaning solvents employed in dry cleaning plants, including blood, ink spots, food, body excretions, etc., at the same time leaving materials in a natural soft condition without undesirable shrinkage, wrinkling or bleeding of dye colors.
I have found that an excellent cleaning mixture may comprise the following ingredients and approximate percentages thereof: oil 12 to 50% acid 10 to 25% alkali 5 to 38%; soap solution, com risin a roximatel 1 to four ounces of soap, one to g ounces of bleach, and 1 to 8 ounces of common t b 1 0 i0 65%- In preparing a cleaning mixture in accordance with PUSS REFERENCE "ice the present invention, the soap solution may be prepared by diulting the soap in water, adding the bleach and salt, and permitting the same to age for a suitable period to produce a homogeneous solution which may then be combined with the other ingredients.
The cleaning mixture may be utilized in connection with other cleaning solvents, or may be utilized by itself, depending. upon the particular circumstances involved. In either event, no rinsing to remove the cleaning mixture is required, and may even be undesirable as the rrrixture provides a protection for the fibers of the material.
A very effective cleaning mixture may comprise the following: sulphonated castor oil, 37.5%; 28% acetic acid, 25%; 26% ammonia, 18.75%; soap solution, comprising two ounces laundry flakes, three ounces sodium perborate, and eight ounces of common table salt to a gallon of water, 18.75%. This mixture may be prepared in the same manner as previously described. While I prefer in this example to use 75% sulphonated oil, the sulphonation may be varied, commercial oils normally being available from 50% to Another example of a highly effective cleaning mixture may comprise the following: 75% sulphonated castor oil, 22%; 28% acetic acid, 18.75%; 26% ammonia, 9.25%; soap solution, two ounces of laundry soap, two ounces of sodium perborate, six ounces of common table salt to a gallon of water, 50%.
As in the case of the prereding examples, this mixture may likewise be fabricated in the same manner as previously described.
Another example of the present invention which I have found to be highly effective for the purposes, and which may be fabricated in the same manner, may comprise mineral oil, 25%; 28% acetic acid, 25%; 26% ammonia, 12.5%; soap solution, three ounces laundry flakes, and 6 ounces salt to a gallon of water, 37.5%.
While I have primarily referred to and prefer to use acetic acid and ammonia as the acid and alkali ingredients, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, depending upon the nature of the materials to be cleaned, other suitable acids and alkalis may be utilized, as for example, boric and formic acid, etc., and soda, etc., in proportions to generally correspond in strength to that specified in the above examples. The amounts likewise varying in the event solutions of difierent strengths are utilized.
' It will be noted from the above description that 1 have provided a novel cleaning mixture, particularly adapted for use in the cleaning industry to remove spots and stains from garments of natural or synthetic fibers, furs and leather, which cleaning mixture will effectively remove such stains, and at the same time protecting the material from shrinkage, wrinkling, bleeding of dyes, and the like. In the case of furs and leather, the cleaning mixture is not only very efiicient in removing stains, but makes the same softer and heavier, eliminating tendency to dry and crack as is the case with many other cleaning mixtures utilized for similar purposes which have a tendency to remove the oils from the material.
Having thus described my invention, it is obvious that various immaterial modifications may be made in the same without departing from the spirit of my invention; hence I do not wish to be limited to the exact arrangement and combination of ingredients and parts herein shown and described, or uses mentioned.
