Method of replacing solvent from in-home dry cleaning machine

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of eliminating the need to have a track or other delivery service bring solvent to a home where a dry cleaning machine using said solvent is used. Instead, the method involves a method of first monitoring or having monitored level of solvent used and then ordering or obtaining said solvent in a consumer package or kit wherein the solvent can then be directly applied by the consumer or other to a receptacle where said solvent is kept.

1 . Method of maintaining or replacing solvent used in an in-home dry cleaning machine which comprises: 
 (1) monitoring or having monitored level of solvent present to determine whether it is below a desired level;    (2) ordering or obtaining at a point of purchase an amount of solvent small enough to be carried in a consumer package or kit; and    (3) applying or having applied, directly from said solvent containing consumer package or kit to a receptacle or container where said solvent is kept, sufficient solvent to replace lost or wasted solvent.    
   
   
       2 . A method according to  claim 1 , where ordering is done by phone or internet.  
   
   
       3 . A method according to  claim 1 , where consumer package or kit with solvent is purchased at a store or other consumer outlet.  
   
   
       4 . A kit for replacing solvent which is used in a home dry cleaning machine.  
   
   
       5 . A method of  claim 1 , wherein said solvent is siloxane solvent.  
   
   
       6 . A method of  claim 5 , wherein said solvent is part of a dry cleaning composition comprising surfactant and said solvent.
