Description

1. Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to a system for the manual cleaning of surfaces in interior spaces, in particular furniture surfaces, glass surfaces, window frames, tiles and other fixtures in living and working spaces. The invention lies in the technical field of cleaning agents, cleaning methods and cleaning sets, in particular the combination of a liquid cleaning agent in portion-wise dosage with a defined, two-stage application using specially employed microfiber cloths. 2. State of the art Numerous liquid surface cleaners are known from the state of the art, both as concentrates and as ready-to-use spray solutions. Microfiber cloths of different material compositions are also well-known, as are cleaning sets that sell cleaning agents and cloths together. However, no closed, functionally coordinated cleaning system is known in which: • a chemically defined surface cleaner in small portions • only in conjunction with a precisely defined two-stage application • using two microfiber cloths with a defined material composition • and is used in a defined dosage, whereby only the interaction of all components enables the technical cleaning success. Major international manufacturers offer either: • Cleaning agents without a mandatory application system, or • Microfiber cloths without system-bound chemical cleaning formulation, or • Sets with a purely sales-oriented character and no functional dependency between the individual components. A comparable system with mandatory functional coupling of all components is not known from the prior art. 3. Object of the invention The invention is based on the objective of • to provide a highly effective, material-friendly and streak-free cleaning system, • that does not require spray bottles, aerosols or overdosing, • which enables reproducible cleaning performance regardless of the user, • and where the cleaning success is only achieved through the interplay of cleaning chemicals, dosage and two-stage cloth application. 4. Solution to the task This task is solved by a cleaning system consisting of the following necessarily interacting components: 4.1 Cleaning chemical composition A liquid surface cleaner consisting of: • a neutralized surfactant solution based on dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, neutralized with urea, • an adjustment of the surface relaxation by dilution in the ratio of 1 liter of concentrate to 100 liters of water, • an addition of approximately 20% by volume isopropanol (99%), • optional colorant and fragrance (e.g. citronella perfume oil). This composition creates a cleaning liquor containing: • high wettability, • faster dirt removal, • Low-residue evaporation due to the alcohol content. 4.2 Portion-based dosing The cleaner is not supplied loose or ready-to-use, but in pre-dosed pouches containing approximately 30 ml. One sachet is precisely designed to produce approximately 3 liters of cleaning solution. This dosage is functionally necessary to: • To avoid overconcentration, • to ensure consistent cleaning performance, • To prevent material damage or streaking. 4.3 Defined microfiber cloths The system includes two microfiber cloths with: • Dimensions approx. 40 × 40 cm, • Material composition: 80% polyester / 20% polyamide. This combination of materials is necessary because: • Polyester provides mechanical dirt removal, • Polyamide enables capillary action for dirt absorption. 4.4 Two-stage cleaning process The system only works when the following two-stage procedure is used: Stage 1 - Dirt Removal A microfiber cloth is soaked in the cleaning solution, folded, and lightly wrung out. The surface is then mechanically treated with this damp cloth, loosening the dirt. Stage 2 - Dirt absorption Immediately afterwards, a second, dry microfiber cloth is used to absorb the loosened dirt and leave the surface dry and streak-free. The cleaning success is not achieved by the cleaning agent alone, but solely by the sequence and combination of both cloths. 5. Essential inventive step The inventive idea lies in the realization that: • neither the cleaning agent, • and the microfiber cloth, • and the dosage, • even the application on its own achieve the desired technical effect but only the compelling interaction of all features as a closed system enables a superior cleaning effect. The system cannot be modified arbitrarily, as any deviation (different dosage, only one cloth, incorrect cloth composition, spray application, etc.) significantly impairs or negates the technical effect. 6. Differentiation from the state of the art Compared to the prior art, the invention is characterized in particular by: • Pre-dosed single-use sachets instead of free dosing, • a defined cleaning liquor preparation, • a defined material composition of the cloths, • a mandatory two-stage cleaning process, • as well as the fact that the cleaning success is only due to the system. Such a systemically closed cleaning concept is not known before. 7. Worthiness
