Abstract: Provided are aqueous cleaning and surface treatment compositions for use in the general or localized cleaning of fibers and fibrous substrates, including carpets, carpet fibers as well as textiles.. The compositions include an oxidizing agent constituent, preferably hydrogen peroxide, an anionic surfactant, especially an alkyl sulfate, an organic solvent, preferably a ternary solvent system which includes ethylene glycol hexyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether and isopropyl alcohol, and an antiresoiling compound which is essentially free of fluorine atoms, preferably one based on a polymeric material which is essentially free of fluorine atoms, and water. Preferably the composition is essentially free of fluorine atoms.

Abstract: A blank for forming a carton includes a top flap, top panel, front panel, bottom panel, and rear panel which are connectively hinged together in the named order such that when folded, the top flap is fastened to the rear panel. Right and left side flaps are also connectively hinged to the aforementioned panels. A first tear strip is placed within the front panel and the right and left side flaps attached thereto and a second tear strip is placed at the juncture of the top flap and top panel. After tearing and removing the tear strips, a display carton is formed to hold and display a plurality of articles.

Abstract: Acidic, hard surface cleaning and disinfecting compositions include a film-forming, organosilicone quaternary ammonium compound providing a protective layer for water and stain repellency

Abstract: Provided are aqueous hard surface cleaning and disinfecting composition which comprises the following constituents: (a) at lease one cationic surfactant having germicidal properties; and (b) a fluorosurfactant selected from the group of nonionic fluorosurfactant, cationic fluorosurfactant, and mixtures thereof, and (c) a film-forming, organosilicone quaternary ammonium compound. Optionally the compositions may further include (d) one or more detersive surfactants particularly selected from carboxylate surfactants, as well as nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, (e) one or more organic solvents, and further conventional additives.

Abstract: Improved hard surface cleaning compositions having an acidic pH, providing good removal of soap scum stains, and further feature low levels of irritability to the user. The compositions comprise about 0. 1-10 % by weight of an acid sequestrant constituent; about 0.1 -10 % by weight of a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic solvents; about 0.001-1 % by weight of a single constituent which exhibits both anionic surfactant and hydrotrope properties; about 0-20 % by weight of one or more optional constituents; the balance to 100 % by weight of water, wherein the aqueous hard surface cleaning composition exhibits a pH of 7 or less, especially a pH of about 5 or less. Although acidic, the improved hard surface cleaning compositions feature low irritability to the eyes and skin of consumers. The compositions also provide disinfecting effects.

Abstract: Aqueous based cleaning compositions simultaneously featuring disinfecting, low residue deposits and good cleaning characteristics are provided, which are particularly useful for cleaning glass and polished hard surfaces. The compositions include (a) at least one anionic a linear C6-C18 alkyl sulfate surfactant; (b) at least one surfactant based on a glycoside; (c) a solvent system containing an alkylene glycol ether solvent, further with a C1-C6 alcohol; and (d) water.

Abstract: Alcohol based aerosol spray compositions which contain 1-20% of an alcohol-soluble polymer which, on evaporation, leaves on a sprayed surface a film which acts as a barrier to dust, dust mites and their faecal excretions. These compositions optionally can include an acaricidal ingredient, such as benzyl benzoate, and one or more antimicrobial ingredients such as a quaternary ammonium salt.

Abstract: Aqueous based cleaning compositions simultaneously featuring low residue deposition, sanitization and/or disinfecting of treated hard surfaces, and good cleaning characteristics are provided. The compositions include the following ingredients: (a) a quaternary ammonium surfactant compound having germicidal properties; (b) a surfactant system which includes at least one amine oxide surfactant and at least one further surfactant selected from carboxylates and N-acyl amino acid surfactants; (c) a solvent system containing an alkylene glycol ether solvent further with a C1-C6 alcohol; (d) an alkalizing agent; and (e) water.

Abstract: Aqueous concentrated liquid disinfectant compositions which include: an antiseptic compound other than a quaternary ammonium compound having germicidal properties; organic solvent constituent; binary co-solvent system comprising alkyl biphenyl solvent and a co-solvent; optionally but desirably at least one optional constituents. The concentrate compositions feature excellent blooming characteristics.

Abstract: The presence of a small amount of an antibiotic, such as metronidazole or a salt or derivative thereof, in warfarin-containing rodent baits enhances the toxicity of warfarin against rodents which have heretofore shown apparent resistance to warfarin.

Abstract: Provided are aqueous hard surface cleaning and disinfecting composition which comprises the following constituents: (a) at lease one cationic surfactant having germicidal properties; and (b) a fluorosurfactant selected from the group of nonionic fluorosurfactant, cationic fluorosurfactant, and mixtures thereof, and (c) a film-forming, organosilicone quaternary ammonium compound. Optionally the compositions may further include (d) one or more detersive surfactants particularly selected from carboxylate surfactants, as well as nonionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants, (e) one or more organic solvents, and further conventional additives. The compositions provide good sanitization of hard surfaces, and good cleaning notwithstanding the surprisingly low amount of fluorosurfactant present.
