Abstract: A textile applicator for application of a sanitizing and/or disinfecting solution to a surface. The applicator incorporates a plurality of direct spun polyester microfiber yarns to define a textile surface which does not bind or inactivate quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorine-based or peracetic and/or other peroxygen based sanitizing and/or disinfecting agents. Thus, the sanitizing and/or disinfecting agent is readily released to the surface being treated without any requirement of pre-loading surface binding sites or applying a charge-modifying surface treatment.

Abstract: Cleaning compositions are disclosed that economically and effectively remove a variety of marking materials from many coated or uncoated substrate surfaces. The compositions contain a terpene compound, a pyrrolidone compound, an emulsifying surfactant, and water, the compositions being in the form of a microemulsion. Also disclosed are methods of cleaning marked surfaces with the microemulsion compositions.

Abstract: A food-safe film for the pretreatment of a surface, preferably an oven or a broiler, which is liable to soiling by organic food deposits, especially baked-on food deposits. The film comprises a food-safe, inorganic thickening agent present in an amount sufficient so that, during application to the surface, the film forms a continuous coating adhered to all desired portions of the surface; an alkaline, food-safe, water-soluble inorganic salt in an amount sufficient so that the film is readily removable with water or an aqueous solution after it has been soiled; a food-safe silicone polymer present in an amount sufficient so that the film is transparant after drying and heating; and optionally can comprise a food-safe mineral oil present in an amount sufficient, in combination with the amount of the silicone polymer, so that the film remains transparent or translucent after drying and heating.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a desired surface which is liable to soiling by organic food deposits by applying to the surface a food-safe composition containing a food-safe, inorganic thickening agent which is substantially insoluble in an alkaline aqueous composition and which is present in an mount sufficient so that the composition is capable of forming a continuous coating adhered to all desired portions of the surface; an alkaline, food-safe, water soluble inorganic salt in an mount sufficient so that the composition is readily removable with water or an aqueous solution after the composition has been dried and soiled; a food-safe silicone polymer of the formula (CH.sub.3).sub.3 SiO[SiO(CH.sub.3).sub.2 ].sub.n Si(CH.sub.3).sub.

Abstract: A food-safe composition for the pretreatment of a surface, preferably an oven or a broiler, which may be subjected to heat is liable to soiling by organic food deposits, especially baked-on food deposits.
