A process for conducting therapeutic deep tissue physical massage on human patients, and an aid for use in practicing the process, are characterized by a solid, massage stick comprised of three polyethylene glycols, namely, a major proportion of a first polyethylene glycol having a relatively high viscosity and a melting temperature in excess of the temperature of the human body, a lower proportion of a second polyethylene glycol having a melting temperature less than the temperature of the human body, and a minor proportion of a third polyethylene glycol exhibiting lubricity or emolliency. The resultant product and use of the same pursuant to the process provide the therapist with a solid firmness and a sense of tackiness or drag needed for effective therapeutic deep tissue massage and mobilization; and at the same time, provide a degree of lubricity or emolliency that mitigates against abrasion or traumatization of the skin and contributes to the massaging actions of the therapist and a feeling of well being on the part of the patient.

The present invention is a tooth whitening means utilizing a simple and economical process of whitening and polishing teeth that does not require assistance or application by a professional such as a dentist. The present invention comprises of a cotton swab applicator with one or more absorbent tip and a hollow body which contains the liquid activating agent of the tooth whitening compound and a tooth whitening compound in the form of a solid powder wherein the liquid activating agent is released into the absorbent tip of the cotton swab applicator and allowed to contact the solid powder tooth whitening compound which is then applied to the surfaces of the tooth with the absorbent tip of the cotton swab applicator to whiten and polish the tooth.

There is disclosed a containment tray which is formed of plastic which is molded into a tray having upright perimeter walls and a bottom wall having transverse channels in its undersurface for receiving the conventional arms of a forklift or pallet jack. The tray can be formed by vacuum thermal forming, in which case it is used in combination with a platform insert formed by a pair of beams which are received within the tray and which support transverse rails thereby forming an upper platform. Alternatively, the tray can be rotationally molded and the raised platform can be molded into the tray in the form of a plurality of upstanding plugs. In either embodiment, the upper planar surface of the raised platform is positioned above the level of the upper edges of the side walls of the tray whereby a conventional forklift can deposit loads of containers mounted on standard wooden pallets onto the raised platform of the tray, and remove those pallets, when desired.

A process for disposing of solvent-containing liquids so that they do not contaminate ground water. The process includes the steps of transferring the waste solvent-containing liquid to a container and adding sufficient water so that the solvent-containing liquid has about 50% water content. Next, an absorbent blend is mixed into the liquid at the rate of about 1 lb. of blend per gallon of liquid. The blend is made up of a swellable polymer, consisting of polyacrylamide/polyacrylate copolymer salt or poly 2-propenamide-co-2-propenoic acid homopolymer salt which swells and absorbs liquid. The blend also contains a mixture of solid absorbents selected from calcium oxides, aluminum oxides, calcium sulfate, silicon oxides, pumice, perlite, activated carbon, surfactant, and ground corn cobs. The resulting mixture is stirred in the container until it becomes thick and then it is allowed to set to provide a disposable modeling clay-like solid. The resulting solid material, after curing, may be then simply added to solid trash, and thus, be freed from contaminating ground water. The process is especially useful for disposing of most all cleaning solutions.
