Method and apparatus for cleaning a surface

A quick disconnect assembly for use with a cleaning system releasably secured to a faucet, comprising:

• a hose member having a first end and a second end;
• an aerator housing operatively connected to the faucet;
• and
• a quick disconnect member interconnecting said first end of said hose member and said aerator housing, wherein said quick disconnect member readily releasably secures said first end of said hose member to said aerator housing.

A dispensing gun for dispensing water received from a water supply and for dispensing a product diluted in the dispensing gun with water received from the water supply, comprising:

• a hose member, said hose member including a channel;
• a dispensing gun including a handle, said gun including a water inlet, a water outlet, and a hose receiving member operatively connected to said channel of said hose member, said channel in fluid communication with said water inlet, said gun receiving a water supply via said channel of said hose member;
• an aspirator in fluid communication with said channel, said aspirator having an outlet;
• a product supply in fluid communication with said aspirator, wherein said aspirator creates a use solution of product diluted with water from said channel, said use solution exiting the outlet of the aspirator;
• a first nozzle operatively connected to said water outlet to dispense water from said water outlet;
• and
• a first valve in fluid communication with said water outlet and said first nozzle and a second valve in fluid communication with said aspirator, said first valve controlling flow of water via said channel and said second valve controlling flow of water via said channel through said aspirator, wherein said first valve allows water to flow from said water outlet through said first nozzle, and wherein said second valve allows water to flow from said channel into said aspirator and said use solution created therein to flow through said outlet of said aspirator.

A quick disconnect assembly for use with a cleaning system and a faucet, comprising:

• a hose member having a first end and a second end;
• an aerator housing operatively connected to the faucet, said aerator housing having an outside surface and a detent encircling said outside surface;
• and
• a quick disconnect member having a connector and having a plurality of balls constructed and arranged to releasably engage said detent of said aerator housing thereby operatively connecting said aerator housing and said quick disconnect member, said connector interconnecting said first end of said hose member and said quick disconnect member whereby said quick disconnect member readily releasably secures said first end of said hose member to said aerator housing.

A method for cleaning a surface, comprising the steps of:

• connecting a cleaning system to a faucet having an aerator housing with a detent and a quick disconnect member operatively connected thereto, said cleaning system including a hose member and a dispensing gun, said hose member interconnecting said faucet and said dispensing gun, said dispensing gun containing an inlet and an outlet, said faucet containing water from a water source;
• turning on said faucet so that water flows from said faucet, through said hose member and into said inlet of said dispensing gun;
• activating a first valve in said dispensing gun, said first valve allowing water to flow from said inlet where it mixes with a product to create a use solution;
• spraying said use solution from said outlet onto a surface;
• activating a second valve in said dispensing gun, said second valve allowing water to flow from said inlet to said outlet;
• and
• spraying water from said outlet onto said surface to rinse said use solution from said surface.

A system for dispensing water and for dispensing a product diluted with water, comprising:

• a faucet providing a water supply and having an aerator housing;
• a hose member, said hose member including a first end, a second end, and a channel, said water supply flowing through said channel;
• a quick disconnect member interconnecting said first end of said hose member and said aerator housing, wherein said quick disconnect member readily releasably secures said first end and said aerator housing;
• a product supply;
• a dispensing gun having an inlet, said inlet being operatively connected to said second end and in fluid communication with said channel;
• an aspirator having a water inlet, a product inlet, and a use solution outlet, said water inlet being in fluid communication with said channel to receive water from said water supply, said product inlet receiving product from said product supply, said use solution outlet being in fluid communication with said inlet, wherein water flows into said water inlet to draw product in through said product inlet thereby creating a use solution which is dispensed through said use solution outlet;
• and
• a selector valve operatively connected to said aspirator and said hose member, said selector valve controlling the flow of water through said aspirator.
