Abstract
A multi-purpose surface cleaning solution includes sodium percarbonate having a chemical formula of 2Na2CO3.3H2O2 that may be selectively provided in a range of concentrations, from 0.001% through 99.997%. In an aqueous solution, sodium percarbonate decomposes and yields soda ash [Na2CO3] and hydrogen peroxide [H2O2], with additional decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water [H2O] and diatomic oxygen [O2]. The combination of soda ash, hydrogen peroxide, and diatomic oxygen chemically weaken and release the bonds of the contaminants from the surface(s) to which the contaminants have become attached.
Claims2
A method of removing residue and contaminants from an interior of a smoking pipe article, the steps comprising:
- closing openings or holes in the article except for one opening or hole;
- introducing approximately 0.5 ounces (14 grams by weight) of a surface cleaning solution into the article, the surface cleaning solution comprising sodium percarbonate (2Na2CO3.3H2O2), the sodium percarbonate dissolved in a solvent producing an aqueous solution promoting decomposition of the sodium percarbonate yielding soda ash (Na2CO3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2);
- adding boiling water inside of the article until the article is filled with the water;
- soaking the article for approximately 30 minutes;
- and
- rinsing the article with running water to remove loosened debris or residue.
