Abstract

The invention described herein provides an applicator for applying a substance, the applicator including an application side and an opposed reactive side, the application side including an application substance and the reactive side including a reaction substance, wherein the application and reaction substances react with each other when the application and reactive sides of the applicator are sequentially wiped on a target surface. Also provided is a method for treating a target surface, the method including contacting the target surface with an application side of an applicator including an application substance, whereby the application substance is deposited onto the target surface; and thereafter contacting the target surface with a reactive side of the applicator including a reaction substance, whereby the reaction substance reacts with the application substance.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An applicator for applying a substance, the applicator comprising an application side and an opposed reactive side, the application side including an application substance and the reactive side including a reaction substance, wherein the application and reaction substances react with each other when the application and reactive sides of the applicator are sequentially wiped on a target surface.  
   
   
       2 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application and reactive sides are separated by an interior space.  
   
   
       3 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is disposed in a bladder associated with the application side.  
   
   
       4 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the reaction substance is disposed in a bladder associated with the reactive side.  
   
   
       5 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the applicator is a mitt.  
   
   
       6 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the applicator is a wipe.  
   
   
       7 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein one of the application and reactive sides includes a base sheet and a barrier layer.  
   
   
       8 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein each of the application and reactive sides includes a base sheet and a barrier layer.  
   
   
       9 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is an acid, and wherein the reaction substance is a base.  
   
   
       10 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a cleaning substance and wherein the reaction substance is a fragrance ingredient.  
   
   
       11 . The applicator of  claim 10 , wherein the cleaning substance is one of a bleach, an oxidation agent, a reduction agent, and an anti-microbial agent.  
   
   
       12 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a bleaching compound, and wherein the reaction substance is a bleach activator.  
   
   
       13 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a bleaching compound, and wherein the reaction substance is a pH-adjusting agent.  
   
   
       14 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is sodium chloride, and wherein the reaction substance is an oxidizing agent.  
   
   
       15 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is sodium chlorite, and wherein the reaction substance activates the sodium chlorite.  
   
   
       16 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is sodium hypochlorite, and wherein the reaction substance activates the sodium hypochlorite.  
   
   
       17 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a bleaching compound, and wherein the reaction substance is a colorant.  
   
   
       18 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a first epoxy reactant, wherein the reaction substance is a second epoxy reactant, and wherein the first and second epoxy reactants, when combined, form an epoxy.  
   
   
       19 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a combination of two complementary epoxy reactants, and wherein the reaction substance is an epoxy catalyst.  
   
   
       20 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a combination of a base and a surfactant, and wherein the reaction substance is an acid.  
   
   
       21 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a combination of an acid and a surfactant, and wherein the reaction substance is a base.  
   
   
       22 . The applicator of  claim 1 , wherein the application substance is a first precipitation reactant, wherein the reaction substance is a second precipitation reactant, and wherein the first and second precipitation reactants, when combined, form a precipitant.  
   
   
       23 . The applicator of  claim 22 , wherein the first precipitation reactant is adapted to have a cleaning effect when used without combination with the second precipitation reactant.  
   
   
       24 . The applicator of  claim 22 , wherein the second precipitation reactant is adapted to have a cleaning effect when used without combination with the first precipitation reactant.  
   
   
       25 . An applicator for applying a substance, the applicator comprising an application side and an opposed reactive side, the application side including an application substance and the reactive side including a reaction substance, wherein the application substance is deposited on a target surface, and wherein the reaction substance supplements the action of the application substance when the application and reactive sides of the applicator are sequentially wiped on the target surface.  
   
   
       26 . The applicator of  claim 25 , wherein the application and reaction substances are complementary.  
   
   
       27 . The applicator of  claim 25 , wherein the reaction substance is deposited on the target surface.  
   
   
       28 . The applicator of  claim 25 , wherein the application substance is a cleaning substance, and wherein the reaction substance is a resoil preventative.  
   
   
       29 . The applicator of  claim 28 , wherein the resoil preventative is an insect repellant.  
   
   
       30 . An applicator for applying a substance, the applicator comprising an application side and an opposed reactive side, the application side including an application substance and the reactive side including a reaction substance, wherein the application and reaction substances are deposited on a target surface when the application and reactive sides of the applicator are sequentially wiped on the target surface.
