Abstract: A method adjusting the fragrance level in a room incrementally adds a fragrant, non-foaming emulsified composition to a fountain in the room. The composition has a siloxane anti-foam agent and water solution, a block co-polymer, denatured 200 proof alcohol and fragrance oil. Alternative compositions contain a solubilized fragrance or an insoluble fragrance oil for adding to water. The compositions may be provided in a concentrated form, for addition to a pre-existing water supply in a recirculating fountain, or in a dilute form for use as the recirculating fluid in the fountain. The compositions are clear and do not foam when used in a recirculating fountain. The compositions provide fragrance at a release rate significantly greater than solid or gel air fresheners with the same concentration of fragrance. Methods of fragrancing a room with the compositions are disclosed as well.

Abstract: An oil lamp emitting a fragrance has a container including a fuel oil and a fragrance and a wick for drawing fuel oil out of the container for burning. A separate ceramic diffuser is positioned adjacent the top of the lamp, near the combustion end of the wick. The ceramic diffuser receives a combination of fuel oil and fragrance and diffuses the fragrance into the air. The diffusion is increased when the lamp is lighted. The lamp provides a scent to the surrounding air which is similar in strength to fragranced wax candles.

Abstract: A product for providing anti-static and scent to clothes being laundered in a dryer has a plurality of beads, or pearls, of a polymer composition impregnated with anti-static agents and perfume contained in a mesh bag. The bag and pearls are placed in a clothes dryer with clothing being dried. The anti-static agents and perfume are transmitted to the clothing during the drying cycle. The pearls are composed of a mixture of polypropylene and polyethylene. A whitening agent, such as titanium dioxide, a blowing agent and coloring can all be added to the pearls.

Abstract: The useful life--i.e., emulsion stability and weight loss control--of aqueous air freshener composition can be enhanced via the use therein of small amounts of certain inorganic metal salts.

Abstract: A novel air freshener composition and a combination product which uses same in an a device which has an emanator are described. The composition employs a combination of reagents which inhibit its evaporation so that the useful life of the air freshener is significantly lengthened.

Abstract: A furniture polish composition characterized by an internal aqueous phase and an external oil phase, the composition containing an ethoxylated montan acid wax in an amount of from 0.5 to 5% by weight, which constituent functions both as an emulsifier and as the wax. Also included in the composition is from 10 to 50% hydrocarbon solvent; from 0 to 15% polysiloxane, and water. A coemulsifier may be included at low levels, less than 0.5% by weight, the weight ratio of the ester to the emulsifier being greater than 1:1.

Abstract: An aqueous alkaline thickened low ammonia hair bleaching composition containing hydrogen peroxide, activator, water-soluble surfactant thickener and water-insoluble surfactant thickener; the ammonium ion concentration of said composition being in the range of from about 0.15% to about 0.55% based on the total weight of the composition and the ratio of water-soluble surfactant thickener to water-insoluble surfactant thickener being in the ratio of about 1.8 to about 7.0.

Abstract: A process for treating hair to reduce its critical surface tension and/or coefficient of friction by applying to said hair a composition comprising a fluoropolymer containing as monomers at least: ##STR1## wherein n is a number of about 7 to 11 inclusive; and ##STR2## in which n' is a number of about 2 to 4 inclusive and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are lower alkyl, preferably having 1-4 carbon atoms or its N-oxides or salts.

Abstract: Hair fixation with fluorine containing acrylate or methacrylate terpolymers or with mixtures thereof with known non-fluorine containing hair fixing polymers.
