Abstract: A cleansing product with an outstanding in-use performance comprising an excellent distribution of a detergent as well as an intensive fresh odour is provided by a product comprising a granulated composition consisting of a core material consisting of particles of a mixture of effervescent material and acid substance, said particles being dispersed within a matrix of non-aqueous binder material.

Abstract: A device which uses a heat source for heating and diffusing fragrant oils or insecticidal oils. The oil is contained in a reservoir remote from the heat source and the device comprises means for transferring the oil from a reservoir to a surface of a heat-absorbing means wherein heat from the heat source is transferred by conduction to said surface to volatilise the oil.

Abstract: A fragrance-emitting device for the release of fragrances or other volatile materials, e.g. insecticides employing the heat of a light bulb, comprising a hollow container filled with a fragrance-containing material; the hollow container having a central orifice permitting the container to be fitted over the light bulb.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleaning device (1, 1?) especially for cleaning surfaces, as toilet bowls and the like, having a cleaning head (3, 3?) and a handle (2, 2?). The cleaning device further comprises delivering means operable, in use, to deliver a single dosage of cleaning material (17), preferably contained in a small container, into or next to the cleaning head (3, 3?) and to release the cleaning material (17) from the cleaning head (3, 3?). Thereby exactly the amount of cleaning material needed for the cleaning action is dispensed and distributed over the surface by the cleaning head, no overdosing occurs.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with post-foaming cleaning compositions which may be dispensed from a pressurised container. The compositions contain a post-foaming agent, for example a volatile hydrocarbon which boils and causes the composition to fizz on the surface of a fabric to be cleaned thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. The compositions contain high amount of volatile hydrocarbon, i.e. about 20 to 40% by weight, and a surfactant component consisting of or comprising a fatty alcohol ethoxylate.

Abstract: A device which uses a heat source for heating and diffusing fragrant oils or insecticidal oils.

Abstract: A device is disclosed which allows the controllable transfer of a liquid, such as a perfume, a pharmaceutical agent, a masking agent, an insecticide or an organoleptic substance, through an outlet opening of a container. This device includes a holder with a fitting designed to embrace a capillary medium and to fit into the opening in such a way that liquid is only transferable through the opening by the capillary medium. The holder, adjacent to the fitting, further includes a sleeve which further embraces the capillary medium at least at a length which is chosen in such a way that, in a first vertical position of the sleeve liquid has access, and in a second, inverse, vertical position of the sleeve liquid has no access to the capillary medium. An apparatus is also provided in which at least one device is installed on a rotor.

Abstract: A fabric refreshing composition is disclosed, which provides long-lasting fragrance retention, malodor reduction, and wrinkle abatement.
