Patent Images
1. A portable apparatus for delivering a sanitizing solution to a surface, the apparatus comprising:
- an electrolytic cell for producing at least one oxidant;
a container refillable with a non-sterilizing fluid;
a connection between said electrolytic cell and said container for introducing the at least one oxidant to the non-sterilizing fluid in the container, thereby forming the sanitizing solution in the container; and
an opening in said container through which the sanitizing solution is delivered to the surface.

15. A method of sanitizing a surface, the method comprising the steps of:
-
filling a portable container with a non-sterilizing fluid;
generating at least one oxidant using an electrolytic cell attached to the container;
transferring the at least one oxidant to the non-sterilizing fluid, thereby forming a sanitizing solution in the container;
transporting the container and the electrolytic cell to a location near the surface; and
delivering the sanitizing solution to the surface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
