Abstract: A stain repellent composition comprising a cellulose based compound which has been modified hydrophobically.

Abstract: A cleaning composition comprises a dispersion. The dispersion includes an acidic aqueous phase and a suspended particle. The particle is coated with an acid stable coating.

Abstract: The present invention describes a receptacle (10) for a personal care composition comprising a container (12), a separate closure member (14), at least one applicator means (22) for the application of the composition to a user and at least one removal means (24) for the removal of the composition from a user, wherein: the container comprises a reservoir means for retaining a quantity of composition and an aperture (18) in an upper portion of said container, and wherein the closure member has a hollow construction and a releasably sealable lid member (16), and the interior of the closure member is configured to house the at least one applicator means and the at least one removal means; and wherein securing means (20) are provided to permit the closure member to be releasably engagable with the container to close the aperture when engaged. The present invention also describes a method of applying a personal care composition.

Abstract: A device for cleaning a surface comprises a pressurised container containing a cleaning composition; a nozzle through which the composition is arranged to be dispensed, in use, upon an actuation of a valve; a shroud attached to the container and surrounding the nozzle. The shroud has a hollow generally cylindrical portion adjacent to the nozzle for guiding the dispensed product in the direction in which it leaves the nozzle, and a flared portion at the end of the cylindrical portion furthest from the nozzle forming a spreading plate for guiding the dispensed product laterally when in contact, in use, with a surface to be cleaned. The nozzle is arranged to be actuated by movement of the container towards the shroud. The device comprises a reservoir. The nozzle and shroud are configured so that, in use, the cleaning composition is directed across the surface to be cleaned and into the reservoir.

Abstract: Provided are hard surface treatment compositions which provide improved mold and/or fungi remediation properties which compositions are formed from two aqueous mixtures which are admixed immediately prior to use or upon use. The hard surface treatment compositions contain an oxidizing agent, preferably a hypochlorite. In addition to a mold and/or fungi remediation effect, the composition may also be useful in the cleaning treatment and/or disinfection or sanitization treatment of hard surfaces. Methods for the remediation of mold and/or mold spores and/or fungi on surfaces are also disclosed.
