Abstract: A detersive system containing surfactants, vinegar, bleach and alternatively emollients, foaming agents, perfumes, and builders has been developed. Due to the addition of both bleach and vinegar, the detersive system shows synergistic activity with regards to necessary areas and objects of cleanliness that can be found in restaurants and eating establishments. In addition to the synergistic activity, the formulation does not release harmful chloramine gas that is usually present when vinegars and bleach are mixed.

Abstract: Aqueous bleach solutions can be made by directing a spray of water onto a bulk or shaped solid (brick, tablet, block, etc.) comprising a continuous solid phase of an encapsulated source of an active halogen bleach or a solid comprising a source of an oxidizing active halogen bleach, and an encapsulated oxidizing halogen bleach source. Such shaped solids can be used to dispense an aqueous bleach concentrate to bleaching locus such as a washing machine.

Abstract: Effervescent compositions are disclosed. The effervescent composition may include at least one compound capable of effervescence in the presence of a liquid, such as water. The effervescent composition may also include a non-hygroscopic solvent. The presence of the non-hygroscopic solvent may assist the effervescent composition in substantially avoiding effervescence until the composition contacts a liquid. Optionally, the ratio of the at least one compound capable of effervescence to the non-hygroscopic solvent is not less than 9:1.

Abstract: A liquid protectant composition which cleans, protects, preserves, and enhances the appearance of rubber, synthetic plastic, and vinyl surfaces includes a cleaning agent, silicone, a thickener, a neutralizing agent, an ultra-violet light absorber, and water. The composition also preferably includes a fragrance and a fragrance stabilizer. When the fragrance and fragrance stabilizer are present in the formulation, the composition preferably has a viscosity ranging from about 7.5 Pa*sec (7,500 cPs) to about 18 Pa*sec (18,000 cPs) which allows the composition to be applied easily to a variety of surfaces.

Abstract: A pearlescent solution containing a metal oxide coated mica.

Abstract: Methods include, providing a liquid composition having a first viscosity that includes a polymeric thickener, a non-aqueous solvent, and water. The non-aqueous solvent and water may form a theta solvent. A solvent with a second viscosity is provided. A portion of the liquid composition is diluted with the solvent forming a use solution with a third predetermined viscosity; where the third predetermined viscosity is greater than the second viscosity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous liquid detergent compositions and methods of using such compositions to launder fabrics. More specifically, the present invention relates to aqueous liquid detergent compositions comprising one or more particulate solids, such as peroxycarboxylic acids, and a polymeric stabilization system.

Abstract: A bathroom cleaning composition containing a chlorine containing bleach, that is effective in removing mold and mildew as well as removing soap scum.

Abstract: To provide two-agent type liquid bleaching compositions having excellent bleaching effect even if a mixing ratio of the two agents varies, great usability, and no problem in storage stability, two-agent type liquid bleaching compositions contains an agent A and an agent B filled and held in separate chambers of a container and comprises the agent A made of constituents containing 0.1 to 10% by weight of hydrogen peroxide and water and provided with certain buffering capacity, and the agent B made of constituents containing an alkali agent and water and provided with certain buffering capacity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for fabric treatment. More specifically the invention relates to a convenient to carry fabric treatment applicator comprising a heat activatable compound such as a peroxide bleach, which can be advantageously used on clothes while they are worn. Claimed and described is a method for the application of a fabric treatment composition comprising a heat activatable compound such as a peroxide bleach onto a fabric whereby the temperature of the composition is raised with regard to the storage temperature. Further claimed is a fabric treatment applicator comprising a heat activatable compound and a flow interruption means, preferably a valve, to interrupt or allow the flow of the fabric treatment composition.

Abstract: A cleaning compound and applicator pad for cleansing the covers of headlights and taillights on automobiles. This cleansing compound is substantially non-abrasive and is a composition of kerosene, coco fatty acid diethanol amide, aluminum oxide, ammonia solution, water, white silice and hydrated calcium. The compound is contained upon an applicator pad. The compound and pad are used to remove the opaque yellowish film which result on the surface covering of headlights and taillights which appears after years of accumulating particles of smog, dirt and weathering.

Abstract: An aqueous composition suitable for use as a high-retention sanitizer, especially on irregular and/or non-horizontal surfaces and surfaces on which water does not readily spread, a method for sanitizing a surface using the composition, and kits comprising components of the composition. The composition contains an organic peracid, preferably peracetic acid, or other antimicrobial agent, and a retention aid. The retention aid preferably is provided as a concentrate for admixture with the antimicrobial agent at point of use and comprises a mixture of a non-ionic surfactant, an ionic surfactant, and optionally a water-soluble magnesium ion source; or a mixture of a biopolymer thickening agent and at least one surfactant, and optionally a water-soluble magnesium ion source.
