Abstract: An apparatus adapted to disseminate a volatile liquid, such as a fragrance, an insecticide or a fungicide, into an atmosphere, the apparatus comprising a reservoir containing the liquid and a porous transfer member through which the liquid is conveyed from the reservoir to the atmosphere, the apparatus additionally comprising means of pressure equalization between atmosphere and reservoir, which means is adapted to effect a pressure-equalising change in volume of the reservoir, when the apparatus is in operation. The apparatus does not suffer from the leaking problems of known apparatus of the same kind, and is especially useful in apparatus in which one of two liquids, particularly fragrances, may be singly dispensed, by the inversion of the apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention provides fragranced bleaching compositions which feature improved fragrance stability, which compositions comprise an aqueous phase, and a hydrophobic phase.

Abstract: The invention is concerned with post-foaming cleaning compositions which may be dispensed from a pressurised container. The compositions contain a post-foaming agent, for example a volatile hydrocarbon which boils and causes the composition to fizz on the surface of a fabric to be cleaned thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. The compositions contain high amount of volatile hydrocarbon, i.e. about 20 to 40% by weight, and a surfactant component consisting of or comprising a fatty alcohol ethoxylate.

Abstract: A cleaning composition containing a viscosity-stabilizing amount of tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, and sodium di-alkyl sulphosuccinate is provided. Furthermore, cleaning compositions comprising hydroxyethyl cellulose, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, sodium alkyl ethoxy sulphate, sodium lauryl sulphate, cocoamide diethanolamine, a sodium di-alkyl sulphosuccinate, and water which demonstrates superior viscosity stability are disclosed. The invention also provides methods of forming same.
