Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous composition for reducing malodor impression. The composition comprises from about 0.01% to about 1%, by weight of the composition, of perfume. Optionally, but preferably, the composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of the composition of, water-soluble cyclodextrin, from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of water-soluble metallic salt, from about 0% to about 3%, by weight of the composition, of solubilizing aid. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric and contains less than about 5%, by weight of the composition of low molecular weight monohydric alcohols.

Abstract: Household cleaning, fabric treatment, or deodorizing products and methods of preserving the integrity of hydrophilic perfume ingredients and extending fragrance life are disclosed. The product and method include an aqueous composition containing a surfactant and a perfume having a substantial proportion of hydrophilic perfume ingredients with a Clog P of less than about 3 and a boiling point greater than about 200° C. The aqueous composition may be contained in plastic containers constructed of hydrophilic perfume compatible materials. The invention preserves perfume integrity by decreasing migration of hydrophilic perfume ingredients into and/or transmission through plastic containers and extends fragrance life once the hydrophilic perfume ingredients are deposited onto a surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of cleaning a hard surface, said process comprising the step of applying a liquid hard surface cleaner composition onto said hard surface in the form of a spray, wherein said composition comprises a hydrophobically modified nonionic polyol.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a delivery system or apparatus for the production, evaporation or release and wide dispersion of volatile materials using an electromechanical transducer or electromechanical transducer, wherein the transition from droplets to the molecular level of the volatile material is assisted by an air disturbance generator. By increasing the rate of droplet disintegration and the emission or release of the volatile materials, higher detection of the less volatile components is achieved, resulting in higher volatile material concentration and improved hedonics, thus delivering an improved method of dispensing such volatile materials. The system is highly energy efficient and capable of battery operation.
