Abstract: Methods and compositions to treat fabrics with lipophilic fluid and a rebuild agent are provided by the present invention.

Abstract: Basic food cleaning compositions using food compatible ingredients for treating food such as produce, e.g., fruits and vegetables, and edible animal proteins are provided with specific non-substantive perfume. Liquid and solid powder formulations diluted with water also containing non-substantive perfume are applied to food products immediately before consumption and allowed to stay for at least about one half minute to significantly reduce microorganism contamination. With the preferred processes, the food can be consumed without rinsing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antimicrobial wipe comprising a porous or absorbent sheet impregnated with an antimicrobial cleansing composition, wherein the antimicrobial cleansing composition comprises from about 0.001% to about 5.0%, by weight of the antimicrobial cleansing composition, of an antimicrobial active; from about 0.05% to about 10%, by weight of the antimicrobial cleansing composition, of an anionic surfactant; from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the antimicrobial cleansing composition, of a proton donating agent; and from about 3% to about 99.85%, by weight of the antimicrobial cleansing composition, water; wherein the composition is adjusted to a pH of from about 3.0 to about 6.0; wherein the antimicrobial cleansing composition has a Gram Negative Residual Effectiveness Index of greater than about 0.3. The invention also relates to these antibacterial wipes wherein the antimicrobial cleansing composition has a Mildness Index of greater than about 0.3.

Abstract: The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising a water insoluble substrate, a plurality of active proteins, and a binding means, comprising a polymeric tether, permanently attaching each of the enzymes to the substrate wherein the personal care composition comprises from about 0.01 &mgr;g/cm2 to about 1000 &mgr;g/cm2 of the enzyme on the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to sheet-like materials suitable for use in the containment and protection of various items, as well as the preservation of perishable materials such as food items. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved storage wrap material comprising a sheet of material having a first side and a second side. The first side comprises an active side exhibiting an adhesion peel force after activation by a user which is greater than an adhesion peel force exhibited prior to activation by a user. The storage wrap material may be activated by different approaches, but in a preferred embodiment the active side is activatible by an externally applied force exerted upon the sheet of material. The force may be an externally applied compressive force exerted in a direction substantially normal to the sheet of material.

Abstract: Pull-on garments provided with an intermittent lap seam joining the front region and the back region together at spaced apart locations to provide a breathable seam. In a preferred embodiment, the pull-on garment includes a chassis layer comprising a continuous sheet that defines a front region, a back region, and a crotch region; a first belt layer joined to the chassis layer in the front region; a second belt layer joined to the chassis layer in the back region; elastic panel members positioned between the belt layers and the chassis layers which laminate is mechanically stretched to form elastically extensible stretch laminates in both the front region and the back region in the side panels; and intermittent lap seams joining the front region to the back region at spaced apart locations so as to form the leg openings and waist openings.
