ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER SYSTEMS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the
present
invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided
herein is prior art, or
material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any
publication or
document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of cleaning
products and more
specifically relates to a cleaning compound useful for a plurality of cleaning
tasks, all-
purpose cleaner systems.
2. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
[0002] Many individuals live in homes. These homes need cleaning from time
to time.
Many people cleaning these homes are inclined to use a multitude of cleaning
solutions to
complete the chore. The majority of households have two or more different
cleaning
compounds to clean diverse surfaces. Traditional cleaning products often
contain harsh
chemicals, are expensive and may be dangerous in-use. There are also
occurrences of certain
people being allergic to the compounds present in these cleaners, rendering
the individual
unable to use them. A safe cleaner is desired for use.
[0003] Many cleaners use complex chemicals to remove dirt, grime, grease,
soap scum,
mildew, and the like. When using some of these chemicals, it is sometimes
necessary to wear
protective gloves and a face mask to avoid skin and lung irritation. In many
instances while
CA 02918229 2016-01-19

taking on a cleaning project homeowners often have to experiment with
different cleaning
solutions. Several cleaning products may need to be used to clean a house; the
potential for
mixing of dangerous chemicals may be present which may cause injury or health
problems
when breathed. It is therefore desirable to have a single universal cleaning
solution with an
environmentally friendly compound that is also hypoallergenic yet concentrated
enough to
complete tough cleaning tasks.
[0004] Several attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned
problems such as
those found in U.S. Pat. No. 8,741,827 to Lucyna Vyrostko et al., U.S. Pat.

representative of
cleaning products. However, none of the above inventions and patents, taken
either singly or
in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.
[0005] Preferably, a cleaning product should provide an all-in-one non-
harmful,
hypoallergenic, potent cleaning solution and, yet would operate reliably and
be manufactured
at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable all-purpose cleaner
systems to avoid
the above-mentioned problems.

[00019] Referring to the drawings by numerals of reference there is shown in
FIGS. 1-4,
All-purpose cleaner system 100 in a preferred embodiment comprises: all-
purpose cleaner
composition 105 comprising 1% mushroom agent by volume, and 99% water by
volume. All-
purpose cleaner system 100 comprises all-purpose cleaner composition 105. All-
purpose
cleaner composition 105 comprises in functional combination the 1% mushroom
agent by
volume and the 99% water by volume thereby creating an admixture and is
suitably mixed to
provide a means for cleaning at least one surface 130.
[00020] Surfaces found in the home are most often difficult to clean due to
imperfections
typically present. Some imperfections may include cracks, divots, grout lines,
porous
contours, irregular textures, and the like. All-purpose cleaner composition
105 when sprayed
on many of the surfaces mentioned, penetrates and dissolves the unwanted dirt
and grim. A
user then wipes off the dissolved material. When cleaning smooth, glossy
surfaces such as
glass, porcelain, and laminates surfaces, all-purpose cleaner composition 105
is applied and
left to stand on the desired stain. All-purpose cleaner composition 105
compound breaks
down dirt, grease, rust, toilet rings, leftover food particles, hard water
residue, soap scum, and
the like.
[00021] Some additional benefits using all-purpose cleaner system 100 non-
toxic, hypo-
allergenic compound provides the ability to use the cleaner safely on the skin
and items worn
on the body such as clothes, and jewelry. The mushroom base formula is safe to
use on a

plurality of items other cleaners would destroy such as a set of dentures. The
present
invention also relates to cleaning or disinfects wounds, amputations,
psoriasis, skin disorders.
The present invention also clears up itchy eyes. The present invention also
cleans the scalp
and stops hair loss. The present invention also is a tooth whitener. Many
other applications
apply for general cleaning of items.
[00022] All-purpose cleaner composition 105 replaces harsh chemical cleaners
often found
in the home which is more economical and environmentally safe. All-purpose
cleaner
composition 105 comprises a cleaning solution that saves time, energy, and
space. All-
purpose cleaner composition 105 is a ready to use solution which requires no
pre-mixing
before use, and can be dispensed right from the container and is safe in use.
