Hard surface cleaning system and method of use thereof

Abstract

A carbon residue cleaning system comprising a cleaning solution provided in a container. The cleaning solution is disposable into a chamber of a smoking paraphernalia to clean a surface therein. The system includes a first cap and a second cap configured to removably engage with the smoking paraphernalia to hermetically seal the chamber and retain the cleaning solution therein.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A carbon residue cleaning system comprising:
 a. a cleaning solution provided in a container, the cleaning solution is disposable into a chamber of a smoking paraphernalia to clean a surface therein;   b. a first cap and a second cap configured to removably engage with the smoking paraphernalia to hermetically seal the chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first cap is hermetically sealed with a mouthpiece of the smoking paraphernalia. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the second cap is hermetically sealed with a stem portion of the smoking paraphernalia. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the second cap encapsulates a down-stem and a bowl while hermetically sealed with the stem portion to sufficiently clean the down-stem and the bowl. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a cleaning element comprised of an extension and a plurality of bristles to dislodge the carbon residue during cleaning. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first cap and second cap are used to retain water within the smoking paraphernalia during transportation. 
     
     
         7 . A carbon residue cleaning system comprising:
 a. a first cap configured to hermetically engage a mouthpiece of a smoking paraphernalia;   b. a second cap configured to hermetically engage a bowl of the smoking paraphernalia;   c. a cleaning solution provided within a container having a closure, the container including a removable spout to facilitate the flow of liquid from the container to a chamber of the smoking paraphernalia;   d. a user performing the steps of:
 i. opening the container; 
 ii. pouring a sufficient amount of cleaning solution into the chamber; 
 iii. hermetically sealing the chamber via the first and second caps; 
 iv. agitating the smoking paraphernalia to contact the cleaning solution with the residue for a suitable period of time; 
 v. removing the first and second caps from the smoking paraphernalia; and 
 vi. draining the cleaning solution. 
   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the first cap is comprised of a first central portion and a second central portion extending between a circumferential flange portion and a bottom flange. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the second cap is comprised of a third central portion and a fourth central portion extending between a second circumferential flange portion and a second bottom flange. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the first cap includes an unstretched configuration having a diameter less than the diameter of the mouthpiece, the first cap further including a stretched configuration to hermetically seal the first cap to the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the second cap includes an unstretched configuration having a diameter less than the diameter of the stem portion, the second cap further including a stretched configuration to hermetically seal the second cap to the stem portion. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the first cap has a larger diameter than the second cap. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein a plurality of caps of various diameters are provided with the cleaning solution as a set or kit. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the stretched configuration of the second cap encapsulates a down-stem and a bowl while hermetically sealed with the stem portion to sufficiently clean the down-stem and the bowl. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising a cleaning element comprised of an extension and a plurality of bristles to dislodge the carbon residue during cleaning. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the user performs the step of manually cleaning, via the cleaning element, the interior surface of the chamber following the step of removing the first and second caps from the smoking paraphernalia and before the step of draining the cleaning solution. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the cleaning solution is an oil-in-water emulsion. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the first cap and the second cap are used to prevent spillage of water within the chamber of the smoking paraphernalia during transportation. 
     
     
         19 . A method for removing carbon residue from smoking paraphernalia, the method comprising a user performing the steps of:
 a. opening a container;   b. pouring a sufficient amount of an oil-in-water emulsion cleaning solution into a chamber of a smoking paraphernalia;   c. hermetically sealing the chamber via a first cap and a second cap to retain the oil-in-water cleaning solution within the chamber, the first cap configured to hermetically engage a mouthpiece of a smoking paraphernalia, the second cap configured to hermetically seal a stem portion of the smoking paraphernalia;   d. agitating the smoking paraphernalia to contact the cleaning solution with the residue for a suitable period of time;   e. removing the first and second caps from the smoking paraphernalia;   f. utilizing a cleaning element to dislodge the carbon residue from a surface of the chamber; and   g. draining the cleaning solution.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein oil-in-water emulsion cleaning solution is sufficiently heated to increase the solubility of the carbon residue.
