Abstract: An article includes a surface adapted for presence in an environment containing odoriferous nitrogen-containing compounds, a bonding agent, and bacilli bacteria. A method for binding bacilli to a surface is also disclosed. First, the surface is provided. The surface is then heated and placed under pressure. Then, the bacilli and a bonding agent may be applied to the surface, either alone or as a pre-mixed composition. The pre-mixed composition may be in the form of an aqueous dispersion. A method for controlling odors from odoriferous nitrogen-containing compounds is also disclosed. The method includes applying bacilli bacteria to a surface and placing the surface in an area likely to include odoriferous nitrogen-containing compounds.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a product solution includes a container for a product solution, the container having a top end, the top end including a top end, the top end including a first opening, a continuous septum extending over the first opening, and a second opening, a microporous, hydrophobic membrane extending across the second opening. The device also includes a receptacle for receiving the container in an inverted condition, the receptacle including a seat portion for receiving the top end of the container, the seat portion including an upwardly extending, hollow piercing device capable of piercing the septum. The device also includes a pump for withdrawing product from the container through the piercing device. A method for dispensing a product solution is also disclosed.
