Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cleaning devices, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards.
BACKGROUND FOR THE INVENTION:
[0002] The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgment or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known, or part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction as of the priority date of the application. The details provided herein the background if belongs to any publication is taken only as a reference for describing the problems, in general terminologies or principles or both of science and technology in the associated prior art.
[0003] Current board cleaners often rely on alcohols or strong solvents which can be expensive, leave streaks, or degrade board surfaces over time. Moreover, many whiteboard cleaners have strong odors, which may not be suitable for classroom environments. Chalkboards, which are still in use in many parts of the world, often accumulate grime and calcium deposits that regular water or cloth cannot clean effectively. The invention addresses both use-cases with a single solution.
[0004] In light of the foregoing, there is a need for an eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that overcomes problems prevalent in the prior art.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
[0005] Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows.
[0006] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that is suitable for both chalkboards and whiteboards.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that has no strong or lingering odour.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that does not damage surfaces over time.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that has biodegradable components.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that has low cost and easy formulation.
[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide the Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards that evaporates quickly, reducing wait time.
[0013] Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
[0014] The present invention provides Eco-friendly cleaner for chalkboards and whiteboards. The specific and optimized combination of 10% acetic acid and 20% acetone in water provides superior cleaning power on both chalk and whiteboards without damaging the surface or leaving any residual streaks or odor. Unlike existing cleaners, this formulation effectively tackles both calcium-based chalk dust and oily residues from whiteboard markers.
[0015] The cleaning solution is prepared by mixing:
- 10% v/v Acetic Acid (glacial acetic acid diluted in distilled water)
- 20% v/v Acetone
- 70% Distilled Water
[0016] The solution is stored in spray bottles and used by spraying directly onto the board surface and wiping with a dry or damp cloth. The acetic acid dissolves mineral deposits and chalk dust, while acetone dissolves ink residues and grease.
[0017] Application Method:
- Shake before use.
- Spray evenly across the board surface.
- Wipe clean with a microfiber or soft cloth.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS:
[0018] While the present invention is described herein by way of example using embodiments and illustrative drawings, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the embodiments of drawing or drawings described and are not intended to represent the scale of the various components.
