<p>A solid cleaning solution (17) includes an alkalinity agent (132) and a softener (134). The alkalinity agent (132) controls the pH of the cleaning composition. After the items to be cleaned are exposed to the cleaning solution, a number of processes occur. The basic cleaning solution (17) attacks the acids in dirt and oil. In a first reaction step (144), a gas-releasing agent (128) reacts with dirt and oil. In a gas-releasing step (146), gas is released. In a cleaning appliance (16) for washing clothing, dirt and oil would be dislodged from clothing in a removal step (148) due to reaction and the sudden release of gas.</p> |
