AN IMPROVED CLEANSING COMPOUND
Year: 1884

page_text: I FREDERICK JAMES HARRISON of Latimer Road Notting Hill in the County of
Middlesex Builder do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "AN IMPROVED
CLEANSING COMPOUND to be as follows:-
,,
This Invention has for its object an improved cleansing compound for various
cleansing purposes.
According to this Invention the compound consists of a mixture of soap pure
alkali Muriate of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide prepared substantially as
follows: In a suitable steam jacketted pan I place say 2 tons of melted soap to
which I add about 500 gallons of water (soft by preference) The whole is then
brought up to boiling point and kept well stirred by any suitable means. I then
add by degrees four tons of pure alkali more water being added as may be required
for keeping the mixture about the consistency of cream.
After the above ingredients are well incorporated the steam is turned off and
when the temperature has fallen below boiling point I add six hundred weight of
muriate of ammonia to which has been added six gallons of hydrogen peroxide.
The whole is then well stirred for a short time and run into moulds to solidify
and when required for use can be melted in boiling water. I do not intend to
limit myself to the exact proportions above stated as these will vary according to
the material to be cleaned the above however makes a very good compound for
scouring animal fibres for example.

in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention has for its object an improved cleansing compound for various
cleansing purposes.
According to this invention the compound consists of a mixture of soap, pure
alkali, muriate of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide prepared substantially as
follows:-
In a suitable steam jacketted pan I place say two tons of melted soap to which
I add about five hundred gallons of water (soft by preference). The whole is then

add by degrees six tons of pure alkali more water being added as may be required
for keeping the mixture about the consistency of cream.
After the above ingredients are well incorporated the steam is turned off and
when the temperature has fallen below boiling point I add eight hundred weight
of muriate of ammonia with which has been incorporated eight gallons of hydrogen
peroxide.
Instead of using hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching material I sometimes use
50% of the whole bulk of chloride of soda. The whole is then well stirred and

myself to the exact proportions above stated as these will vary according to the
material to be cleansed the above however makes a very good compound for
scouring animal fibres for example.
For ordinary domestic purposes in preparing the compound I may dispense with
the hydrogen peroxide.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said
declare that which
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed
I claim is
The combination of the above materials in the manner substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.
