Abstract: Freshening compositions comprising a malodor binding polymer, a malodor counteractant comprising at least one aliphatic aldehyde, and an aqueous carrier, wherein the composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric; and methods thereof are provided. In some embodiments, the malodor binding polymer comprises a homopolymeric polyethylenimine having a molecular weight of about 1,000 to about 2,000,000. Such freshening compositions may be used to reduce malodor and/or microbes on inanimate surfaces or in the air.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a cationic polymer to provide stability to microcapsules in a composition, wherein the microcapsule comprises a shell encapsulating materials having an average C log P of at least 2.5 and more than 60% by weight of the encapsulated materials have a C log P of at least 3.3. The cationic polymer is derived from the polymerization of 5 to 100 mole percent of a cationic vinyl addition monomer, 0 to 95 percent acrylamide, and 5 to 500 ppm of a tetrafunctional vinyl addition monomer cross-linking agent. The cationic polymer and encapsulated material may be used, for example, in a fabric softener composition.
