Patent number: 7432234Abstract: Incorporating dirt-attracting polycationic polymers, such as polyethyleneimines, into cleaning wipes, mop pads, and similar substrates, improves dirt pick-up and retards redeposition of the dirt back onto the cleaned surface. The polymers can be incorporated directly into the non-woven substrates or they can be formulated with a cleaning composition for use with the substrate. The substrate containing the dirt-attracting polycationic polymers can be employed to clean hard and soft surfaces. The presence of the dirt-attracting polycationic polymers also facilitates biocide release from the substrates.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2005Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: The Clorox CompanyInventors: Maria G. Ochomogo, Malcolm A. De Leo, Martin A. Phillippi, David L. Budd

Patent number: 7402555Abstract: Compositions and methods of treating textiles are disclosed. More specifically, stable compositions and methods for softening a wide range of fabrics are disclosed, including 100% cotton and hydrophobic synthetic fabrics, without detrimentally affecting the water absorbency properties of the fabrics. The compositions and methods provide desirable odor control without interfering with the stability of the product. The compositions contain at least one fatty material, water-dispersible polyolefin or at least one water-soluble or waterdispersible polyorganosiloxane, and at least one bleaching agent, preferably hydrogen peroxide. The compositions may optionally contain discrete, individual polymer particles, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyvinyl acetate/acrylic copolymer (PVA/a), or a combination thereof. The compositions are particularly useful when added to the rinse water in the laundering process, or in the final scouring of a fabric finishing operation.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2005Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Optimer, Inc.Inventors: John W Moore, Christopher S Moore, Cassie M Lilienthal, Ashwinkumar Jaju

Patent number: RE40495Abstract: An article for sanitizing a surface with a sanitizing solution while maintaining the concentration level of a sanitizer in the sanitizing solution at an effective concentration level. A substrate that absorbs and holds the sanitizing solution is treated with a sanitizer release polymer composition. The substrate may be a woven, nonwoven, or knit fabric, a foam or sponge, or the like. The sanitizer release polymer composition may include a cationic or nonionic surfactant or binder that is operable to maintain the concentration level of the sanitizer at the effective level during prolonged periods of use.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2005Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: Commun-I-Tec, Ltd.Inventor: Jeffrey S.
