A Paste or Mixture for Cleansing Various Materials and Articles.
We, MAX BAERLEIN, of Blackfriars Street, Salford, in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, and CHARLES DREYFUS of the Clayton Aniline Company Limited, of
Clayton, near Manchester, in the said county, Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
Our improved paste or mixture is suitable for cleansing cloth, articles of apparel,
gloves, laces, curtains and the like, also pictures and prints, and articles or utensils
of brass, copper and other metals, and the object of our invention is to remove
grease and other spots or marks from such materials and articles.
In the manufacture of our improved paste we employ china clay, pipe clay,
fullers earth, or talcum commonly called French chalk, or other suitable materials,
either separately or mixed in various proportions, and incorporate them by grinding
or mixing with benzole, toluole, xylole, solvent naphtha, or the article known in trade
as patent naphtha, or benzine or petroleum, or mixtures of them or any of them,
in various proportions whereby we form a paste of a creamy consistency; this
paste is applied in a thin layer to the material or article to be cleaned or to the
soiled portion on them and after it is dry, whatever remains is brushed or rubbed off,
when the cleaning will have taken place and the material or article thus treated
will be freed from grease or other spots which may have existed upon it previous
to this treatment.

A Paste or Mixture for Cleansing Various Materials and Articles.
We, MAX BAERLEIN, of Blackfriars Street, Salford, in the County of Lancaster,
Engineer, and CHARLES DREYFUS, of the Clayton Aniline Company Limited, of
Clayton, near Manchester, in the said county, Manufacturing Chemist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
Our improved paste or mixture is suitable for cleansing cloth, articles of apparel,
gloves, laces, curtains and the like, also pictures and prints, and articles or utensils
of brass, copper and other metals, and the object of our invention is to remove
grease and other spots or marks from such materials and articles.
In the manufacture of our improved paste we employ china clay, pipe clay,
fullers earth, or talcum commonly called French chalk, or other suitable materials,
either separately or mixed in various proportions and incorporate them by grinding
or mixing with benzole, toluole, xylole, solvent naphtha, or the article known in
trade as patent naphtha, or benzine or petroleum or tetrachloride of carbon or
mixtures of them or any of them, in various proportions whereby we form a paste
of a creamy consistency.
For example, we take equal parts of kaolin or china clay or a similar substance,
and equal parts of benzole or of its homologues or analogues, or with a mixture
in various proportions of benzole and its homologues or analogues and we obtain
a creamy paste suitable for the purposes of our invention.

page_text: We wish it however to be clearly understood that we do not limit ourselves to
these proportions as the same can be modified or varied within certain limits.
The paste thus obtained is applied in a thin layer to the material or article to be
cleaned or to the soiled portion of it, and, after it is dry, whatever remains is
brushed or rubbed off, when the cleaning will have taken place and the material
or article thus treated will be freed from grease or other spots which may have
existed upon it previous to this treatment.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The improved paste or composition for cleansing various materials and articles,
said paste being obtained by the mixture and incorporation of china clay or
analogous substance with benzole or its homologues or analogues substantially in
the manner above described.
2. The use and application of the improved paste for the cleansing of various
materials and articles according to the method described herein.
