Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of cleaning programs and more particularly to methods enabling an optimized removal of stains on objects such as cups arranged inside a household appliance such as a dishwasher.
- the method of the invention is particularly suitable for removing tea stains on cups without requiring the use of bleach.
- Household appliances are used to clean stains on textiles, typically cleaned in a washing machine, or objects such as dishes, cups or other utensils typically cleaned using a dishwashing machine. Washing machines and dishwashing machines are very convenient devices that allow users to save time while achieving a satisfactory level of cleanliness in a more environmentally friendly way than manual wash.
- each program In a dishwashing machine, it is typically possible to select between an intensive wash program or a more economical program, each program generally differing by its maximum temperature, duration, amount and type of cleaning agent used.
- Typical cleaning cycles in a dishwashing machine include a first“main wash” cycle, during which cleaning agents are released in the first minutes after filling of the dishwashing machine with water. The temperature is typically increased beyond 40°C. This main wash cycle is followed by one or more rinse cycles until the end of the cleaning cycle which leaves the objects inside the dishwashing machine dry.
- dishwashing involves the use of cleaning agents such as dishwashing liquids, tablets or pouches.
- the cleaning agents can be either dispensed from a dispensing unit that is an integral part of the household appliance, or from a removable device independent from the household appliance and that is placed inside a chamber of the household appliance.
- a first enzyme phase in the first minutes of the main wash cycle, followed by the dispensing of an alkaline agent a few minutes later.
- These cleaning agents are typically administered at temperatures below 35 °C in the early stages of the cleaning cycle, so that they may act longer on removing dirt and stains throughout the cleaning cycle.
- a third cleaning agent (generally called finisher) is sometimes further administered during the last rinse cycle.
- cleaning programs are generally well set and can eliminate most stains by adjusting temperature, dosage of cleaning agents and cleaning cycle duration, some stains are much harder to remove without reverting to very high temperatures or cleaning agent doses. This is the case for example with tea stains on ceramic cups, for which best results are obtained when using bleach.
- bleach is not always compatible with other items loaded inside the household appliance.
- liquid bleach-containing cleaning agents are generally not stable and not suitable for use in a household appliance, in particular with they are to be stored in cartridge of a removable or non-removable dosing system or in pouches.
- the invention provides a method for removing stains during a cleaning cycle of a household appliance, the cleaning cycle comprising at least a main wash cycle, the method comprising:
- a first cleaning agent is released at temperatures below 40 °C during the main wash cycle.
- the method of the invention is particularly suitable for dishwashing machines and is efficient in removing persistent stains such as tea stains that typically form on ceramic utensils.
- the invention successfully removes such stains without requiring the use of bleach, nor the need to necessarily use large amounts of cleaning agents or very high temperatures (above 70°C) during the cleaning cycle.
- hard to remove stains such as tea stains
- cleaning agents are dispensed during the main wash cycle very early at the start of the main wash, when the temperature inside the machine barely goes above 30 °C.
- the cleaning agent is administered only at higher temperatures, above 40°C, the combined effect of the temperature and the cleaning action of the active components comprised in the main cleaning agent enhances the cleanliness of the objects to be cleaned.
- The“main wash” cycle refers to the cycle during which active cleaning agents are released.
- Other cleaning agents in particular finishers, can further be released during subsequent rinse cycles.
- a dosing of a first cleaning agent for example one comprising enzymes, at temperatures below 40 °C combined with a dosing of the main cleaning agent comprising for example an alkali, at temperatures above 40°C leads to an improved cleaning effect.
- the predetermined temperature threshold may be chosen among one of the following values: 50 °C, 55°C, 58°C, 60°C, a maximum temperature reached during the main wash cycle before a decrease in temperature, 95% of the maximum temperature reached during the cleaning cycle.
- the main cleaning agent may comprise an alkali.
- alkali encompasses cleaning agents with a pH value above 7. More particularly, it targets cleaning agents with a pH above 8, and preferably cleaning agents having a strong alkalinity with a pH above 10.
- the method may further comprise:
- the main cleaning agent may further benefit from the dispensing of a first cleaning agent at the earlier stages of the main wash at lower temperatures.
- This first cleaning agent typically comprises an enzyme phase.
- the timing of the release of the main cleaning agent can be correlated with the heating rate inside the household appliance. It is also possible to start dispensing the main cleaning agent at least 2 minutes after the end of the release of the last portion of the first cleaning agent.
- the first cleaning agent comprising an enzyme
- the main cleaning agent is released at higher temperatures in addition to the release of another cleaning agent or a similar released at the earlier stages of the main wash cycle.
- This mode can be implemented when the household appliance, in particular a dishwashing machine runs a pre-stored cleaning program and only adds an additional step consisting in the supplementary release of an amount of main cleaning agent at higher temperatures, in addition to the standard operation of the selected pre-stored cleaning program.
- the first cleaning agent and the second cleaning agent can both be enzymes, for example the same type of enzyme, released at different times of the cleaning cycle.
- the first cleaning agent can be released during a pre-wash of the cleaning cycle whereas the second cleaning agent can be released during a main wash of the cleaning cycle.
- the main cleaning agent may comprise at least one chelating agent.
- the main cleaning agent may comprise at least one first chelating agent and at least one second chelating agent.
- the first chelating agent and the second chelating agent have different properties.
- chelating agents are capable of interacting with soilings such as tea stains, in particular at temperatures above 50°C, thereby improving the efficiency of a cleaning cycle in a dishwasher.
- chelating agents such as Citrates, Phosphonates or Tartrates
- another chelating agent such as Methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA), Ethylenediamine-N,N ' -disuccinic acid (EDDS), Tetranatrium-N,N-bis(carboxylatomethyl)-L-glutamamic acid or N,N-Dipropyl- 2,3dihydroxyterephthalamide
- MGDA Methylglycinediacetic acid
- EDDS Ethylenediamine-N,N ' -disuccinic acid
- Tetranatrium-N,N-bis(carboxylatomethyl)-L-glutamamic acid or N,N-Dipropyl- 2,3dihydroxyterephthalamide further reinforces the cleaning effect at temperatures above 40°C.
- the first chelating agent may be chosen from among Citrates, Phosphonates or Tartrates
- the second complexing agent may be chosen from among Methylglycinediacetic acid (MGDA), Ethylenediamine-N,N ' -disuccinic acid (EDDS), Tetranatrium-N,N-bis(carboxylatomethyl)-L-glutamamic acid or N,N-Dipropyl- 2,3dihydroxyterephthalamide.
- the first cleaning agent and the second cleaning agent can both be enzymes, typically but not necessarily the same type of enzyme.
- the first cleaning agent can be dosed at 3/5 of the total amount of enzymes released whereas the second cleaning agent can be dosed at 2/5 of the total amount of enzymes released.
- the first cleaning agent may be an enzyme whereas the second cleaning agent is an alkali. Care would be taken to adjust the alkalinity inside the household appliance upon dispensing the main cleaning agent.
- the method may further comprise:
- the dosage of main cleaning agent can be set to a lower value, for example between 15 grams and 25 grams.
- the dosage of main cleaning agent can advantageously be set to a higher value, for example between 25 grams and 40 grams.
- the amount of main cleaning agent to be released may be between 3 grams and 40 grams.
- the temperature inside the household appliance can be measured at regular time intervals with a sensor or based on estimations of the temperature variations for the cleaning program that the machine is running.
- This information is not necessarily a temperature as such, but could be a related parameter that makes it possible to determine the temperature inside the machine. It could be, for example, a setting of a heating unit inside the machine, a tension or current measured at such a heating unit, an information provided by an external sensor or an information provided manually by a user or obtained from a distant source, for example online.
- the household appliance, dishwasher can also transfer a temperature measurement made inside the appliance to a dosing device via an“API” (for“Applications Programming Interface) for example.
- API for“Applications Programming Interface
- the information regarding the temperature inside the household appliance at different times of the cleaning cycle may be provided by a database of programs run by the household appliance.
- the sample rate of this querying of information relating to the temperature can be occurring at frequencies ranging from 0,01 Hz to 1kHz for example.
- a removable dosing device can be for example an automated unit comprising cartridges filled with different cleaning agents and a dispensing unit capable of releasing a controlled amount of cleaning agent at controlled times.
- Different types of hardware might be part of the dosing device for controlling the dispensing of the cleaning agents, or for communicating with external devices such as data processing units, the household appliance or a mobile device or server that a user can operate.
- an information relating to the presence of tea stains among objects arranged inside the household appliance For example, the presence of mugs or cups inside the machine might be assessed based on a specific vibration signature during the loading process inside the machine. Turbidity of water during the cleaning cycle or specific markers identifiable by biosensors could also be used to determine the presence of tea stains. Otherwise, a user might select a special program or an option within a program that parameterizes the household appliance to implement the method of the invention. Such a selection can also be viewed as an“information relating to the presence of tea stains” or an assumption thereof.
- This program can be selected by pressing a button on the machine or can be chosen within a menu selectable on the machine or on a man-machine interface capable of setting a program on the household appliance.
- a user might set a“tea stains” cleaning option for a currently selected program form the household appliance or via a mobile device or server, in an“app” for example.
- the invention also pertains to a system for removing stains during a cleaning cycle of a household appliance, the cleaning cycle comprising at least a main wash cycle, the system comprising:
- non-transitory data processing unit configured to obtain an information regarding a temperature inside the household appliance at different times of the cleaning cycle

- RFID Radio Frequency identification
- NFC Near Field Communication
- WLAN Wireless Local Area Network
- Thread Zigbee
- the system 20 described above can typically be used to implement the improved stain removal method of the invention.
- This stain removal method consists in postponing the time at which a main cleaning agent, typically comprising an alkali liquid, is dispensed during the main wash cycle of the cleaning cycle of a household appliance 300. Maximum efficiency has been observed when the main cleaning agent is dispensed not at the beginning of the main wash cycle, but rather when a predetermined temperature threshold is exceeded, for example a temperature threshold higher than 40°C.
- the method proceeds by releasing 32 a first cleaning agent, typically comprising an enzyme, at the early stages of the main wash cycle at temperatures inside the household appliance 300 typically lower than 30°C.
- a first cleaning agent typically comprising an enzyme
- the method proceeds by releasing an amount 33 of main cleaning agent, typically a cleaning agent comprising an alkali, when the temperature inside the household appliance 300 exceeds 40°C.
- main cleaning agent typically a cleaning agent comprising an alkali
- the moment when such a condition is met can be determined either using a measured temperature, or via estimations based on the knowledge of the evolution of temperature inside the household appliance as a function of time.
- the amount released can be increased when the predetermined temperature threshold is closer to 40°C and decreased if the predetermined temperature threshold is closer to 55°C, advantageously above 58°C.
- the predetermined temperature threshold can be set at a fixed value (for example 40°C, 50°C, 55°C, 58°C or 60°C), or be dynamically associated with an event observed during the cleaning cycle. For example, it is possible to start dispensing the main cleaning agent once the temperature inside the household appliance 300 reaches a maximum value and starts decreasing. Should a database contain the expected or predicted temperature evolution inside the household appliance 300 as a function of time, it is possible to set the condition for dispensing the main cleaning agent as exceeding a temperature corresponding to a certain percentage of the maximum temperature during the main wash cycle, for example 80% or 90% or 95% of that maximum temperature value, or at a predicted time when such temperatures are expected.
- a fixed value for example 40°C, 50°C, 55°C, 58°C or 60°C
- a timer can be used to trigger the dispensing of the main cleaning agent.
- Another possibility is to further set a time separating the beginning of the main cycle from the release of the main cleaning agent. For example, it could be possible to wait 5 or 10 minutes after the start of the main wash cycle or 5 or 10 minutes after the start of the dispensing of a first cleaning agent during the main wash cycle, before releasing the main cleaning agent.
- the amount of main cleaning agent released during a main wash cycle can be comprised between 3 grams and 40 grams, the amount depending on the level of dirtiness and load of objects inside the household appliance 300, as well as on the predetermined temperature threshold that is selected.
- the dispensing of an amount of main cleaning agent when the temperature inside the household appliance 300 exceeds a predetermined temperature threshold can also be implemented on top of a normal cleaning cycle.
- a first cleaning agent typically comprising an enzyme phase can be dispensed in the first minutes of the main wash cycle, followed within the next ten minutes by the release of a second cleaning agent typically comprising an alkali, when the temperature is still lower than 40°C.
- an amount of main cleaning agent that can be substantially smaller than in the examples described above can be dispensed at higher temperatures above 40°C inside the household appliance.
- the method described above can be stored within a cleaning program of the household appliance 300, and ready to be selected by a user. It may also be available as an option to be added to any program of the household appliance, for example as a stain removal option, particularly suitable for removing tea stains, in particular in dishwashing machines.
- the decision to run a cleaning program that comprises the above-described method can be taken by a user. The user selects such a special program or option either on the household appliance 300, or via any other interface, for example on a mobile device 400.
- the decision to implement the method of the invention can be taken by the dosing device 200 or the non- transitory data processing unit 22, based for example on information regarding the presence of hard to remove stains such as tea stains.
- the cleaning strategy upon determination of the presence of such harder to remove stains or upon indication by an external source such as the user that such stains might be present. If the preselected program does not reach temperatures above 40°C, it is possible to adapt the main wash cycle to include a short time frame during which the temperature exceeds 40°C, advantageously 55°C or higher, to dispense the main cleaning agent at such higher temperatures.
- control of the household appliance using the method described above can be provided in the form of an app on a mobile phone for example, or a computer program loadable into any electronic device capable of communicating with household appliances and updating their programming.
- Figures 4 to 8 provide 5 examples of cleaning cycles inside different dishwashing machines which benefited from the method for cleaning stains described above.
- 102 objects were placed inside the dishwashing machine, comprising all sorts of items and dirt types.
- the objects include knives, tea spoons, large spoons, salad bowls, pans, cups, mugs, saucers, plates, sieves, spatulas, soup ladle, cans, glass bowls, a chopping board, forks and pots.
- the type of stains found on these 102 items were the following: egg yolk, spinach, tea stains, milk stains, minced meat, oat flakes, egg, burnt lasagna.
- the cleanliness of cups comprising tea stains was graded from 0 to 10, 10 being associated with a perfectly clean result.
- the grade provided for tea stains is an average value obtained over 6 cups that were inserted into the dishwashing machine.
- the total cleanliness of all items was rated from 0 to 5, 5 being associated with a perfectly cleaned set of items.
- the presence of droplets was also rated using a method consisting in counting the presence of droplets on the cleaned items. The grades go from 0 (no droplets found) to 6 (6 or more droplets found).
- Figure 4 shows the evolution of temperature as a function of time throughout a cleaning cycle of a MIELE G6730SC dishwashing machine.
- the selected program that is represented on figure 4 is labelled“quick power wash 60°C”.
- the diagram of figure 4 comprises a vertical temperature axis 408 and a horizontal time axis 409.
- the cleaning program can be decomposed into 6 cycles: filling 401 of the dishwasher with water, a main wash cycle 402, a first water exchange cycle 403, a first rinse cycle 404, a second water exchange cycle 405 and a final rinse cycle 406.
- the temperature inside the dishwashing machine rises to almost 65 °C during the main wash cycle.
- the dispensing of cleaning agents comprises: releasing a first cleaning agent 410 at the beginning of the main wash cycle, releasing a finisher 430 in the final rinse cycle, and releasing a main cleaning agent 420 during the main wash cycle.
- Figure 4 illustrates 4 different timings for the release of the main cleaning agent 420, referred to under the reference numbers 2a-2d.
- This dispensing of main cleaning agent 420 occurs after a delay of more than 10 minutes after the dispensing of the first cleaning agent 410. Theoretically, a delay 440 of about 7 minutes could have also led to satisfactory results.
- a fist test was performed using the classical“quick power wash 60°C” cycle of the dishwashing machine. This normal cycle consists in releasing the main cleaning agent 2 minutes after dispensing the first cleaning agent 410. Table 1 shown below summarizes the results observed after this normal cleaning cycle. It was repeated twice with a different dosage of the first cleaning agent (enzyme phase), the main cleaning agent (alkali phase) and the finisher.
- Table 2 shown below provides the results observed when the main cleaning agent 420 is dispensed at higher temperatures, more than 10 minutes after dispensing of the first cleaning agent 410.
- Tests 4 and 5 were both done with a dispensing of the main cleaning agent at a temperature T above 60°C. Test 4 was done with a normal dosage of the main cleaning agent whereas test 5 was done with a higher dosage of cleaning agent than test 4.
- Table 2 demonstrates that dispensing the main cleaning agent 420 at temperatures above 55 °C with a normal dosing enables a perfect removal of teas stains. It further shows that the dosage does not play any significant role in the cleanliness result if the temperature threshold for dispensing the main cleaning agent is above 55°C.
- Figure 5 shows the evolution of temperature as a function of time throughout a cleaning cycle of a AEG FS56302WO dishwashing machine running a 60 minutes program.
- the diagram of figure 5 comprises a vertical temperature axis 408 and a horizontal time axis 409.
- the cleaning program can be decomposed into 4 cycles: filling 501 of the dishwasher with water, a main wash cycle 502, a first water exchange cycle 503 and a final rinse cycle 504.
- the dispensing of cleaning agents comprises: releasing a first cleaning agent 510 at the beginning of the main wash cycle, releasing a finisher 530 in the final rinse cycle, and releasing a main cleaning agent 520 during the main wash cycle.
- Figure 5 illustrates 4 different timings for the release of the main cleaning agent 520, referred to under the reference numbers 2, 2a-2c.
- The“classical” or“normal” timing for dispensing the main cleaning agent corresponds to reference number 2 and is referred to under numeral 550.
- the dispensing of main cleaning agent 520 occurs after a delay of more than 10 minutes after the dispensing of the first cleaning agent 510. Theoretically, a delay 540 of about 7 minutes could also lead to satisfactory results.
- Table 3 shown below provides the result observed when the main cleaning agent 520 is released at the different times 2, 2a-2c represented on figure 5. For release times 2 and 2c, normal and higher dosage of cleaning agents were tested.
- Figure 6 shows the evolution of temperature as a function of time throughout a cleaning cycle of a Bosch SMS68TW06E dishwashing machine running a short one-hour program with a 1 hour drying cycle.
- the diagram of figure 6 comprises a vertical temperature axis 408 and a horizontal time axis 409.
- the cleaning program can be decomposed into 6 cycles: filling 601 of the dishwasher with water, a main wash cycle 602, a first rinse cycle 603, a final rinse cycle 604, a zeolite drying cycle 605 and a drying cycle 606.
- the dispensing of cleaning agents comprises: releasing a first cleaning agent 610 at the beginning of the main wash cycle and releasing a main cleaning agent 620 during the main wash cycle.
- Figure 6 illustrates 3 different timings for the release of the main cleaning agent 620, referred to under the reference numbers 2, 2a and 2b.
- The“classical” or“normal” timing for dispensing the main cleaning agent corresponds to reference number 2 and is referred to under numeral 650.
- Table 4 shown below provides the result observed when the main cleaning agent 620 is released at the different times 2, 2a-2b represented on figure 6.
- Table 4 This table confirms the observation made in connection with figures 4 and 5. Furthermore, although this is not represented on table 4, it has been seen that an increase of the amount of main cleaning agent dispensed at 40°C can also lead to very satisfactory removal of tea stains with high cleanliness grades.
- Figure 7 shows the evolution of temperature as a function of time throughout a cleaning cycle of a Bosch SMS68TW06E dishwashing machine running a long two-hour program with a 1 hour drying cycle.
- the diagram of figure 7 comprises a vertical temperature axis 408 and a horizontal time axis 409.
