Abstract: The present invention relates to a hard surface cleaning composition. There is a need for improved cleaning compositions for providing antimicrobial benefit in addition to cleaning benefit. The inventors have found that an aqueous composition comprising 0.01 to 20% by weight alkene amide; 0.01 to 20% by weight glycol ether of formula (I): R1O(R2O)nR3; where: —R1 is a linear or branched alkyl or phenyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; —R2 is ethyl or isopropyl; —n is 1,2,3; —R3 is hydrogen or a linear or branched alkyl or phenyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; 0.1 to 50% by weight surfactant; and at least 10% by weight water, provides significant antimicrobial benefit.

Abstract: A malodour reducing spray composition comprising: a. 0.1 to 15 wt. % emollient; b. 0.5 to 15 wt. % emulsifier; and c. Water.

Abstract: A malodour reducing spray composition comprising: a. a prebiotic comprising at least one saccharide unit selected form: galactose, galacturonic, mannuronic, guluronic, glucan, glucose and combinations thereof; and b. water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to impregnated inorganic porous particles comprising a eutectic mixture of thymol and menthol. The invention also relates to powder compositions comprising said particles. The invention further relates to methods of cleaning surfaces using said particles and compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and a method for delaying laundry. The present invention provides a fabric treatment composition comprising: a solvent system in combination with surfactants, a hydrotrope, and a sequestrant, wherein the composition has a pH ranging from 2.5 to 5.0. The solvent system comprises a glycol ether; a diol; and a fatty acid ester. The composition of the present invention provides cleaning and anti-microbial benefits when used on a substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for the filtration of aqueous liquid that is capable of effectively removing suspended particles from aqueous liquid during a prolonged period of time without clogging of the particulate filter media and associated pressure build-up.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and a method for treating substrates, such as fabrics; in particular a composition that can deliver cleaning and anti-microbial benefits to the fabric thereby delaying laundry. There is a long left need for a composition, which can clean the fabric and deliver anti-microbial benefits without the use of water and detergents. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition with no surfactants in it which can deliver cleaning and anti-microbial benefits through a single product. It has been found that cleaning and anti-microbial benefits on fabric can be achieved by a solvent mix of a glycol ether, a fatty acid ester and a diol in combination with a bipolar antimicrobial particle in an aqueous solution.
