Point of use cleaning solution

Abstract

A cleaning solution kit includes a liquid that is disposed within a first compartment and that is isolated from a cleaning solid disposed in a second compartment by a first openable barrier. When the first openable barrier is opened, the liquid and cleaning solid are exposed to one another, forming the cleaning solution. A cleaning kit includes the first and second compartments of the cleaning solution kit and also includes wipes. The wipes are disposed within a third compartment and are isolated from the cleaning solid and the liquid by a second openable barrier and the first openable barrier. When wipes are needed to clean an area, after the cleaning solution is formed by opening the first openable barrier, the second barrier is opened and the cleaning solution wets the wipes. The wipes are then ready for cleaning surfaces within an area.
