Abstract: A virucidal disinfectant or antiseptic is disclosed comprising 45-65 wt % of at least one alcohol, and 0.05-0.5 wt % of at least one phosphonate. The pH should be adjusted to lie between 3 and 10. Such disinfectant/antiseptic can be used for disinfecting a living or a non-living object and exhibits activity against a broad range of microorganisms such as viruses, fungi and/or bacteria, in particular against naked viruses such as polio.

Abstract: A dispensing device dispenses at least two different preparations substantially simultaneously. The device has a delivery element to deliver a first preparation from a package to its surrounding environment when an actuating element, in at least one embodiment a trigger connected to a pump, is actuated. The dispensing device has a connection line between the delivery element and at least one portion cartridge for a second preparation. The portion cartridge is detachably coupled to the dispensing device such that as the actuating element is actuated, the first and second preparations can be simultaneously dispensed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packed form of a washing or cleaning agent comprising (a) a first liquid washing or cleaning agent preparation A comprising (i) builder and (ii) complexing agent; (b) a second liquid washing or cleaning agent preparation B, of different composition than preparation A, comprising (i) greater than 1 wt. % water; (ii) at least 5 wt. % of at least one active washing or cleaning enzyme preparation; (iii) less than 10 wt. % phosphate; and (iv) less than 2.5 wt. % complexing agent; and (c) a packaging means, in which the washing or cleaning agent preparations A and B are contained and physically separate from one another, and wherein the inventive packaged form of a washing or cleaning agent is characterized by good storage stability and temperature stability, and good washing and cleaning performance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device (20) for the substantially simultaneous delivery of at least two preparations (4, 13), different from each other, from a package (3). Said device has at least one delivery element (6) for delivering a first preparation from the package to the surroundings, and an actuating element (5) which is coupled to the delivery element in such a manner that, when the actuating element is actuated, at least the first preparation is delivered from the package. The dispensing device has a connection (8) which communicates with the delivery element, to which at least one portion cartridge (12) which contains a second preparation, different from the first preparation present in the package, is detachably coupled in such a manner that actuation of the actuating element effects delivery of the first preparation and the second preparation.

Abstract: An aqueous cleaning composition for hard surfaces which is applied to the surface to be cleaned in the form of a foam by means of a spray dispenser comprises a fatty alcohol sulfate and/or a fatty acid sarcosinate, and also isopropanol and butylglycol. The composition can be used in a process for streak-free cleaning of hard surfaces, especially glass. In the course of use as intended for cleaning hard surfaces, the decomposition of the cleaning foam is acoustically perceptible in the form of a crackling noise.

Abstract: Cellulose derivatives, obtained by the alkylation and hydroxyalkylation of cellulose, which contribute to a reduction of the foaming properties of cleaning agents or detergents when used in aqueous cleaning or detergent solutions.
