Description:
INDEX TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/264,938 filed Nov. 5, 2008, which claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/985,302 filed Nov. 5, 2007, the disclosures of which is incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Prior inventions in their most basic forms consist of an alcohol, water, salt in crystalline form, and a surfactant. The previous inventions are used to remove organic deposits from hard to reach surfaces, specifically in smoker&#39;s devices. The previous inventions require the consumer to shake the item being cleaned vigorously, for approximately one minute while submerged in the cleaning composition. Salt, in crystalline form, acts as an abrasive material working side-by-side with the liquid portion of the cleaning composition to remove organic deposit in the hard to reach places. The first problem with the previous inventions is the amount of time required to remove the organic deposits can be quite tiresome. The second problem with the previous inventions is they do not completely remove all organic residues on internal hard to reach surfaces, as well as external reachable surfaces. Finally, the previous inventions contain an excessive amount of abrasive material, which limits the amount liquid cleaning solution of the composition available to the consumer. By adding a ketone, in the form of acetone, to the previous inventions the cleaning time is reduced by 100%, all organic residue&#39;s are removed, and the abrasive materials are reduced by half, if not eliminated. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    The current invention provides an improved cleaning composition, which cleans and sterilizes more effectively and efficiently in a period of 1-30 seconds. This was accomplished by a formulation based on acetone, a ketone. Additionally, according to the Environmental Protection Agency acetone is no longer referred to as volatile organic compound, and has been labeled as relatively non-toxic and readily biodegradable in water. 
         [0004]    Acetone based cleaning products result in all residues being removed on both internal and external surfaces. Additionally, acetone based cleaning products allow the liquid portion of the composition to work more effectively allowing the abrasive material to act as more of an aide to the liquid portion rather than working side-by-side the liquid portion of the composition. Acetone based cleaning products allow for reduction of the abrasive material by at least half, and/or eliminate abrasive material all together.

         [0080]    Example 1 was prepared by first combining water with an ionic surfactant. Then, acetone was added and it was mixed completely. The composition remained stable. The composition was then shaken prior to use and poured vessel containing a large amount of organic deposits disposed on the interior surface. The vessel with the composition was then shaken vigorously until clean. Results were noticeable immediately. All visual organic deposits from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the substrate.

             The composition of Example 6 was prepared by first combining water with nonionic Surfactant. Then, acetone was added and it was mixed completely. The composition remained stable. The composition was then shaken again and poured into a vessel containing a large amount of organic deposits disposed on the interior surface. The vessel containing the composition was then shaken vigorously for 31 seconds to 300 seconds, or 5 minutes, or until clean. Results were noticeable immediately. All visual organic deposits from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the vessel.

         [0118]    Example 12 was prepared by combining water with inorganic salt. Then, acetone was added and it was mixed completely. The composition remained stable. The composition was then shaken again and poured into a substrate containing a large amount of organic deposits disposed on the interior surface. It was then shaken vigorously for up to 300 seconds, or 5 minutes, or until clean. Results were noticeable immediately. All organic deposits from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the substrate.

Results were noticeable immediately. All organic deposits from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the vessel. 
         [0147]    Method of Use 
         [0148]    Substrates in which composition was tested on:
       1. A smokers pipe, large and small   2. A stained wine glass, in which a full glass of wine was allowed to evaporate, and   3. A Round bottom flask w/burnt resins stuck to the interior.       
 
         [0152]    The composition was then shaken again and poured into a large smoker&#39;s pipe containing a large amount of organic deposits. It was then shaken vigorously for approximately 10-30 seconds. Results were noticeable immediately. All organic deposits from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the substrate. 
         [0153]    The composition was again tested on a much smaller smoker&#39;s pipe. Due to size, the substrate was placed into a resealable plastic bag. This substrate also contained organic deposits on the exterior, as well as the interior. The substrate was then shaken vigorously in the resealable plastic bag for approximately 10-30 seconds. Results were noticeable immediately. All organic deposits from the interior, as well as the exterior, were successfully removed without damage to the substrate. 
         [0154]    The composition was then shaken again and poured into a stained wine glass, in which a full glass of wine was allowed to evaporate. It was then rotated vigorously, clockwise or counter-clockwise, for approximately 10-30 seconds. Results were noticeable immediately. All wine stains from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the substrate. 
         [0155]    The composition was then shaken again and poured into a round bottom flask with burnt resins stuck to the interior. It was then shaken vigorously for approximately 10-30 seconds. Results were noticeable immediately. All organic deposits from the interior were successfully removed without damage to the substrate.
