Abstract: The present application relates to a hard-surface cleaning, optionally silicate-containing composition for removing cooked-, baked-, or burnt-on food soil from cookware and tableware, the composition comprising a smectite-type clay thickening agent and a hydrophobically modified polyacrylate polymer. The composition has shear thinning properties and can be used as pre-treatment prior to the dishwashing process. The composition provides excellent removal of polymerised grease from surfaces, particularly metal substrates.

Abstract: A method by which medical equipment, such as surgical scalpels, can be sanitized using a detergent or treating composition containing a surfactant and a solvent such as water is disclosed. The method involves taking the used medical equipment and contacting it with the treating composition, and subjecting both the equipment and composition to microwaves. The composition foams during microwaving and/or immerses the equipment such that microwave arcing is avoided, and such that the medical equipment is sanitized.

Abstract: A method by which dental equipment, such as dental scalers, can be sanitized using a detergent or treating composition containing a surfactant and a solvent such as water is disclosed. The method involves taking the used dental equipment and contacting it with the treating composition, and subjecting both the equipment and composition to microwaves. The composition foams during microwaving and/or immerses the equipment such that microwave arcing is avoided, and such that the dental equipment is sanitized.

Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a hard surface cleaning composition for removing cooked-, baked-, or burnt-on food soil from cookware and table ware, having surface tension of less than 30 mN/m and comprising an organic solvent system and no more than:

Abstract: A method for removing stains or odors and for disinfecting plastics, dishware, countertops, appliances, and other substrates by activating a bleaching composition with microwaves and applying the activated composition to the substrate to be cleaned, deodorized, and/or sanitized is presented. This method provides enhanced cleaning and improved stain removal as compared to the conventional use of cleaning compositions applied directly to a substrate.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of liquid or gel detergents. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for removing stains and/or odors and for disinfecting plastics, and other substrates by applying a liquid or gel detergent composition to the substrate and subjecting the substrate to microwaves. This method provides enhanced cleaning and improved stain removal on plastics, and other substrates. These cleaning compositions include a bleaching agent, preferably diacyl peroxide in a liquid or gel detergent formulation. These compositions in combination with the method of microwaving are also very effective in disinfecting and deodorizing substrates.
