Patent number: 7645746Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous composition for reducing malodor impression. The composition comprises from about 0.01% to about 1%, by weight of the composition, of perfume. Optionally, but preferably, the composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of the composition of, water-soluble cyclodextrin, from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of water-soluble metallic salt, from about 0% to about 3%, by weight of the composition, of solubilizing aid. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric and contains less than about 5%, by weight of the composition of low molecular weight monohydric alcohols.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2000Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Toan Trinh, Jerome Paul Cappel, Philip Anthony Geis, Judith Ann Hollingshead, Mark Lee McCarty, Donald Marion Swartley, Errol Hoffman Wahl, Susan Schmaedecke Zwerdling

Patent number: 7182941Abstract: Methods of treating an inanimate object or inanimate surface which has malodor impression to reduce the malodor impression comprise the step of contacting the inanimate object or inanimate surface with an effective amount of a composition for reducing malodor impression comprising: (a) from about 0.1% to about 1%, by weight of the composition, of perfume; (b) cyclodextrin; (c) aerosol propellant; (d) optionally, solubilizing aid; and (e) aqueous carrier. The compositions used in the methods are essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric. The inanimate surface treated via the present methods is preferably fabric.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2002Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Toan Trinh, Jerome Paul Cappel, Philip Anthony Geis, Judith Ann Hollingshead, Mark Lee McCarty, Susan Schmaedecke Zwerdling

Patent number: 6682694Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous odor-absorbing solution, for use on inanimate surfaces. The solution comprises from about 0.1% to about 5%, by weight of the solution, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin, an effective amount of a solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative having a water-solubility of greater than about 0.3%, optional perfume, and an aqueous carrier. The solution is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric and has a pH of greater than about 3. The solution can be incorporated into a spray dispenser to create an article of commerce that can facilitate treatment of articles and/or surfaces with uncomplexed cyclodextrin solutions of a level that is effective yet is not discernible when dried on the surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2001Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Toan Trinh, Jerome Paul Cappel, Philip Anthony Geis, Mark Lee McCarty, David Pilosof, Susan Schmaedecke Zwerdling
