The valve is adjusted to control the percentage of the water and the chemical compound. The in-line conduit includes an axial bore, an inlet passageway, an outlet passageway, a passageway disposed between a first end of the in-line conduit and the axial bore. The chemical compound includes a cleaning agent, an air freshener agent, and a coloring agent.
