Abstract: In aqueous odor control composition comprises an evaporation control system, at least one nonionic surfactant, fragrance, and water. The odor control composition is particularly well suited for use in air ducts, crawl spaces, basements, and insulation, as the composition releases odor control ingredients at a very slow rate and does not contain any environmentally hazardous materials.

Abstract: An antibacterial aqueous composition comprising a) a zinc acetate complex characterized in that the composition also contains b) from 0.1% by weight to 1.0% by weight of a selected surfactant is disclosed. Nonwoven wipes containing such composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: Rodenticidal compositions comprising an anticoagulant type rodenticide in combination with a fluorosurfactant of the amphoteric, anionic or cationic type, optionally admixed with a cereal grain bait, and a method of killing rodents by oral administration of such compositions.

Abstract: A container having a disc, plate or the like located therein part way between the top and bottom of the container. In this disc there are provided a plurality of conical or similar structures, some extending above and some extending below the disc. These structures act as funnels. Structures extending generally below the device have their larger ends uppermost, and others of the structures that extend above the device have their smaller ends uppermost. Water or other fluid that is to act on the material in the container below the disc enters the wider ends of the dependent funnels or hollow structures to mix with the material under the disc, and the solution rises to exit through the inverted funnels or structures having their smaller ends uppermost.

Abstract: A method and composition for deodorizing rugs is provided herein by applying a non-free flowing powder-fragrance composition onto a carpet and subsequently removing the composition, preferably by vacuuming. The invention also includes a package in the form of a shakeable canister for applying to rugs the aforementioned non-free flowing powder-fragrance composition. The non-free flowing powdered composition is made up of essentially an inorganic salt, such as sulfate, a chloride or bicarbonate or mixtures thereof, a fragrance, an antistatic and rheological control agent selected from natural and synthetic zeolites, and a liquid agglomerating agent. The composition exhibits stable non-free flowing properties, even at elevated temperatures, over a long period of time.

Abstract: New automatic toilet bowl cleaner compositions that are capable of inhibiting the growth or multiplication of microbiological organisms are described herein. The bacteriostatic agent in the above compositions is 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol.
