Abstract: The invention relates to agents and methods for washing articles containing foaming components.

Abstract: A process is provided for disinfecting articles at temperatures below 5° C. with an aqueous alcoholic salt solution. The process provides a fast reduction of microorganisms at low temperatures with a wide degree of efficacy.

Abstract: A process useful for disinfecting medical instruments is presented involving reacting a hydrogen peroxide donor with an N-acyl compound in an aqueous medium having a pH of 9 to 11 to form an acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation, reducing the pH of the acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation to pH 7 to 9; and contacting the acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation with a medical instrument. The process provides good antimicrobial activity with little corrosion. The process is effective against mycobacteria.

Abstract: In order to disinfect objects at low temperatures, which can lie well below 0 ° C., said objects are treated with a hydroalcoholic solution containing an active microbicidal chlorhexidine compound. The Method enables quick reduction of germs even at low temperatures and displays a wide-ranging degree of efficacy.

Abstract: A cleaning cart for accommodating and carrying containers and utensils for cleaning, supply and waste collection purposes. The cleaning cart has a base frame which is on rollers, and step shaped support frames which are mounted on the base frame and support carrying elements, the carrying elements being horizontally and vertically offset from each other. The cleaning cart also has a hanging container located behind the support frame. A base plate is fixed on the base frame. The carrying elements are trays which can be hung in the support frame in a cascade arrangement. Space is provided between the hung trays and the base plate for arranging other containers. The support frame has more than two steps. Containers can be placed on the base plate in front of the support frame, and under at least one hung tray.

Abstract: A disinfecting process is disclosed by means of aqueous peroxide compositions prepared by first reacting hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide supplier with an N-acyl compound in an alkaline medium, then in a second step by adjusting the pH value of this alkaline solution in a range from 7 to 9.

Abstract: The invention concerns a flat floor-mop-type covering for cleaning floors, with a cover sheet which, on the upper surface, comprises pockets for securing it to a mounting and, in the central region of the lower surface, loops or strands. Strands are disposed on both sides of a seam of a peripheral strand strip. In this respect, the inner strands are short enough to insure that when they swell owing to the effect of moisture, they bend through approximately 90° in the direction of the surface to be wiped and form a type of brush ring.

Abstract: The process of reducing the count of a virus by contacting the virus with(1) the reaction product ofa) N-substituted propylenediamines corresponding to formula I:R.sup.1 --NH--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 (I)In which R.sup.1 is a linear alkyl radical containing 12 to 14 carbon atoms, withb) compounds corresponding to formula II: ##STR1## in which R.sup.2 is an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydrogen atom, the molar ratio of a) to b) is 1:1 to 1:2 and the reaction is carried out over a period of 0.5 to 10 hours at 60.degree. C. to 175.degree. C. with elimination of alcohol or water, and optionally,(2) wherein the reaction product is further reacted with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, and optionally,(3) salt formation of the products obtained in (1) or (2) with inorganic or organic acids.

Abstract: Methods of virucidal disinfection with virucidal disinfectants containing an active quantity of salts of metals of the alkaline earth metals, alkali metals, earth metals and/or metals of the first, second or third secondary group of the periodic system of elements in the form of a solution in water and/or alcohol are provided. The virucidal activity of alcohols or alcohol/water mixtures with a total alcohol concentration of 40 to 90% and preferably 50 to 80% can be considerably increased by addition of base- or acid-hydrolyzed salts of metal ions of the earth metal and meta metal group of the periodic system of elements in quantities of 0.1 to 1% by weight and preferably in quantities of 0.2 to 0.6% by weight. Normally ineffectual alcohol mixtures or alcohol/water mixtures thus develop far-reaching virucidal activity. The disinfectants may also contain small quantities of substances for improving compatibility with the skin, wetting agents and corrosion inhibitors.

Abstract: An aqueous cleaning and disinfecting concentrate comprisingA) at lease one reaction product ofa) an N-substituted propylene diamine of formula IR.sup.1 --NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --NH.sub.2 (I)in which R.sup.1 is a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 alkyl group andb) glutamic acid or a glutamic acid derivative of formula IIR.sub.2 --O--CO--(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --CH(NH.sub.2)--COOH (II)in which R.sup.2 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, wherein the said reaction product is optionally ethoxylated and/or propoxylated, and is optionally in the form of a salt with an organic or inorganic acid;B) at least one of the following antimicrobially active compounds:i) a quaternary ammonium compound of formula III ##STR1## in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently of one another represent alkyl radicals containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms or benzyl radicals, or halogenated or alkylated benzyl radicals containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms, and X.sup.
