Abstract: An air freshener with customizable fragrances is disclosed. The air freshener accepts a plurality of fragrance modules, which allow a user to create customized fragrant environments. A fan and/or heating element are included to increase fragrance dispersal. Additional components may be included into the air freshener to provide enhancements to the user experience, including but not limited to a clock, timer, or a music player. The air freshener obtains power from a number of sources, such as AC mains or DC batteries. Energy storage devices located on board the air freshener may be charged by inductive or solar power. The air freshener may also include lighting elements and styling cues to integrate into the local environment.

Abstract: Concentrated all-purpose liquid cleaning compositions are prepared that contain high levels of surfactants and solvents and exhibit improved cleaning performance and homogeneity in solution. A preferred formulation incorporates an actives system of a three component mixture: an anionic surfactant such as alkyl ethoxy sulfates, alkyl ethoxy carboxylates and mixtures thereof, a nonionic surfactant such as fatty alcohol ethoxylates, nonylphenol ethoxylates, alkylpolyglycosides and mixtures thereof, a glycol ether solvent and the balance comprising water and optional ingredients to provide a concentrated cleaning composition which can be diluted by the end user to the desired strength. Another preferred embodiment discloses a method of using a concentrated liquid cleaning composition.

Abstract: A ready-to-use fabric composition and a fabric finish concentrate composition are disclosed as well as a method of providing a stiffness to a fabric. The compositions comprise water, a water soluble polymer that casts a clear, continuous film from aqueous solution and a film-compatible silicone ironing aid/lubricant that in combination dries on clothes or textiles as a colorless and transparent, flexible film. Optionally, a preservative and, in some instances other ingredients such as fragrances and dyes may be added for aesthetic purposes.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a hard surface with concentrated all-purpose liquid cleaning compositions that contain high levels of surfactants and solvents and which exhibit improved cleaning performance and homogeneity in solution. A preferred formulation incorporates an actives systems of a three component mixture: an anionic surfactant such as alkyl ethoxy sulfates, alkyl ethoxy carboxylates and mixtures thereof, a nonionic surfactant such as fatty alcohol ethoxylates, nonylphenol ethoxylates, alkylpolyglycosides and mixtures thereof, a glycol ether solvent and optional ingredients to provide a concentrated cleaning composition which can be diluted to the desired strength.

Abstract: Concentrated liquid glass and window cleaning compositions are disclosed containing high levels of solvents and exhibiting improved cleaning performance and homogeneity in solution. A preferred formulation includes sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, a glycol ether solvent mixture and water and other optional ingredients to provide a concentrated cleaning composition which can be diluted by the end user to desired strength. Another preferred embodiment discloses a method of using a concentrated liquid glass and window cleaning composition.
