Abstract: The present invention relates to pathogen-reducing systems and methods employing ozone and compositions and articles useful therein. More particularly, the present invention relates to pathogen-reducing systems and methods useful in pathogen-reducing pathogen containing substrates/articles, such as sponges, wash cloths, scouring pads (i.e., plastic, metallic), utensils, dishes, cookware, pots, pans, skillets, baby bottles, baby nipples, glassware, dentures, brushes, gloves, reusable wipes, and the like wherein the substrate/article is treated with an ozone-enhancing composition and subjected with ozone in a closed environment, such that the ozone-enhancing composition and ozone are in contact with the substrate/article to be treated contemporaneously.

Abstract: An improved process for the manufacture of alkaline bleaching compositions, especially liquid and/or gel compositions of high solubility and low abrasiveness, useful to the consumer, especially as products for hard surface cleaning, bleaching or disinfectancy. The products are made by a three-stage process and comprise particular chlorine and bromine bleach sources and particular aminofunctional materials such as low-impurity sulfamate.
