Abstract: A cleaning composition particularly adapted for washing dishes, glasses and silverware in mechanical devices such as automatic dishwashers and capable of inhibiting overglaze attack containing as an essential ingredient aluminum silicate.

Abstract: Aqueous solutions of anionic surfactants are effective fabric softeners which can be sprayed directly onto washable textile fabrics. In addition, the solutions impart soil-release properties to the fabrics. A silicone resin may be incorporated into the solution to provide a spray-on ironing aid.

Abstract: A dentifrice which releases bursts of flavor during use and includes a minor proportion of an encapsulated flavoring material in a dentifrice. The encapsulated flavoring is maintained separate from the dentifrice base during storage but is released into it by breaking of the encapsulating shells or coating when the dentifrice is used.

Abstract: Use of sodium citrate in conjunction with peroxygen compounds and activators therefor.

Abstract: A fabric treating composition for use in preventing the staining of fabrics consisting essentially of an aqueous solution of a complexing acid and a cationic fabric softening agent, the complexing acid and the softening agent being present in amounts so that on dilution with water the complexing acid comprises from 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of the dilution and the softening agent comprises from 0 to 0.1% of the dilution.

Abstract: A stable, visually clear, haze free, lemon oil containing flavored mouthwash free from unpleasant tasting lemon oil degradation components comprising water, lemon oil, nonionic surfactant, humectant and buffering agent.

Abstract: Toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate as the principal abrasive and a lesser amount of another compatible abrasive. Examples of these are chalk, silica, alumina, zirconium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate, or a mixture thereof, said other abrasive constituting at least about 3 percent of the toothpaste.

Abstract: There is disclosed a substantially anhydrous dentifrice which contains a dipeptide sweetener in combination with an acid anhydride. There is also disclosed a method of making the same.

Abstract: There is disclosed a composition comprising approximately by weight (a) 0.01 to 0.1% of a copolymer of (1) an ethylenically unsaturated polymeric anhydride or partial ester and (2) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; (b) up to 10% of at least one lower alkylene glycol lower alkyl monoether, (c) up to 25% of an aliphatic alcohol; (d) 0.1 to 2% of an ethoxylated C.sub.10.sub.-18 alkali metal sulfate and the balance water. Components (b) and (c) may both be present, or a greater amount of one to compensate for the absence of the other.

Abstract: Toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate as the principal abrasive and a lesser amount of another compatible abrasive. Examples of these are chalk, silica, alumina, zirconium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate, or a mixture thereof, said other abrasive constituting at least about 3% of the toothpaste.

Abstract: Toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate as the principal abrasive together with essential oil flavoring agent in a thickened water-glycerol vehicle in which the water:glycerol ratio is in the range of about 0.4:1 to 0.7:1.

Abstract: Toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate as the principal abrasive and a lesser amount of another compatible abrasive. Examples of these are chalk, silica, alumina, zirconium silicate of sodium aluminosilicate, or a mixture thereof, said other abrasive constituting at least about 3% of the toothpaste.

Abstract: Toothpaste containing calcium carbonate as the principal abrasive and a lesser amount of sodium bicarbonate as an additional abrasive. The principal abrasive of the toothpaste may also be comprised of a mixture of abrasives such as chalk, silica, alumina, zirconium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate in combination with the minor amount of sodium bicarbonate. The latter may be included in amounts up to about 25%, while the former may be included in amounts up to about 60%.

Abstract: There is disclosed a toothpaste containing dispersed particles of sodium bicarbonate and a polishing agent composition comprising titanium dioxide powder having a particle size less than about 2 microns, the amount of titanium dioxide powder being about 0.1 by weight on the weight of the toothpaste and a method of making same.

Abstract: There is disclosed a dentifrice containing as sweetener approximately by weight 0.01 to 10.0% of an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt or free base of 3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4-one, as well as dental creams, mouth rinses and chewable tablets derived therefrom.

Abstract: A dentifrice which contains a non-cariongenic humectant sweetener. The dentifrice contains non-cariogenic xylitol which has the sweetening strength of sucrose and which also serves as a humectant.

Abstract: Immunization against dental caries by local administration, in the vicinity of the oral mucosa of an animal susceptible to dental caries, of a vaccine containing a polyfructan or polyglucan polysaccharide, or a levansucrase or dextransucrase enzyme. The polysaccharides may be administered in purified form, or may be in the form of dead cells of the streptococci by which they are elaborated. Polyglucan polysaccharides so useful are produced by elaboration of strains of the species S.mutans and S.sanguis, while the polyfructan which may be incorporated in the vaccine may be an elaboration product of Streptomyces Strain SS2.
