Abstract: A preventative solution includes an aqueous base, 1 wt % to 6 wt % titanium dioxide having an average particle size of not greater than 100 nm, 0.5 wt % to 20 wt % alcohol having 2 to 4 carbons, and 3 wt % to 15 wt % of a binding agent. The preventative solution can be dispersed using a fogger, for example, sequentially with an odor neutralizing solution or a disinfectant solution.

Abstract: A cleaning solution includes an aqueous base, 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of an organic acid, 0.1 wt % to 35 wt % of a surfactant, 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of an organic ester derived from a carboxylic acid having at least 4 carbons, and 0.1 wt % to 11 wt % of an ethylene glycol ether.

Abstract: The invention is a composition, device, system or method for mitigating odors or other contaminants from a target environment. The present invention relates to devices that contain a formulation for removing, in whole or in part, foul odors from the air. In certain embodiments the present invention provides odor-mitigating reagents that are delivered by means of a spray dispenser. The present invention also contemplates applications where the invention can be delivered via a foam or gel dispenser. Certain embodiments of the invention therefore particularly relate to devices such deodorizers, air fresheners and the like.

Abstract: A self-contained foul air eliminator comprises a housing with an intake port an impeller, a converter, and an exhaust port. The converter includes an oxidizing agent and an aqueous solution of a promoter. The eliminator is typically portable to eliminate malodors foul air from a toilet or another environment. The device is powered by a battery or a household current.

Abstract: A converter for transforming malodorous components of foul air comprises a porous layer having an oxidizing agent and an aqueous solution of a promoter. The promoter is preferably a water-soluble ethylene oxide or propylene oxide adduct. The layer is typically used in a gas-handling system to eliminate the foul air from a toilet or a bedpan. The layer can be used alone or with a second layer of activated charcoal. A Lewis acid and/or a Lewis base can be also used with the converter.

Abstract: An optically-active or chiral compound is described which comprises(A) at least one quaternary nitrogen or phosphorus cation provided that if the cation is a quaternary nitrogen cation containing a hydroxyalkyl group, the hydroxyalkyl group is free of chlorine, and(B) at least one optically-active anion.In one embodiment, the optically-active anion is an optically-active carboxylic acid anion. The process for preparing such optically-active compounds also is described and such compounds may be prepared by reacting(A) at least one quaternary nitrogen or phosphorus salt with(B) at least one optically-active reactant capable of reacting with the salt provided that if the salt is a quaternary nitrogen salt containing a hydroxyalkyl group, the hydroxyalkyl group is free of chlorine.
