Abstract: Treatment compositions for use in laundry capable of effectively removing stains better than detergent alone, and which can be used both through the wash and as a pre-treatment. As a pre-treatment, the compositions remove stains “right before your eyes”. The compositions may be free of oxidizing agents so as to be safe for use on a wide variety of fabrics and dyes. The composition may include one or more alkoxylate surfactants and a polymeric anti-redeposition agent selected from the group consisting of an ethoxylated polyethyleneimine polymer, and an acrylate copolymer. The composition may be free of enzymes, ether sulfate surfactants, and alkylene oxide (“EO” and “PO”) sulfate surfactants.

Abstract: A cleaning composition for sanitizing and/or disinfecting hard surfaces, comprising: a cationic biocide, surfactant and low levels of VOC solvents. The cleaning composition is adapted to clean a variety of hard surfaces without leaving behind a visible residue and creates low levels of streaking and filming on the treated surface. The cleaning composition contains less than 5% by weight of VOCs. The cleaning composition may be used alone as a liquid or spray formulation or in combination with a substrate, for example, a pre-loaded cleaning wipe.

Abstract: The invention relates to preloaded cleaning and sanitizing wipes comprising a nonwoven substrate, and a cleaning formulation loaded onto or within the nonwoven substrate. The cleaning composition may include about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of an antimicrobial compound comprising a quaternary ammonium compound, less than about 4% by weight of an alcohol solvent containing a single hydroxyl group, a preservative, about 0.05% to about 10% by weight of a glycol solvent (e.g., preferably a glycol ether solvent), about 0.05% to about 10% of one or more surfactants, and water. The composition may have a pH from about 4 to about 8.

Abstract: A water soluble strip that includes a carrier film that include water soluble polymer, one or more actives and one or more agents such as heat forming agent and/or degrading accelerator. The water soluble strip can optionally include other additives. The actives includes antimicrobial agent, cleaning agent and/or surfactant. The water soluble strip can include other materials. The heat forming agent and/or degrading accelerator, when used, are designed facilitate in degrading or dissolving the water soluble strip and/or increase the activity of the one or more actives. The water soluble film can be used for a variety of applications such as a hard surface cleaning strip, dishwashing strip, laundry cleaning strip, stop removing strip, drain unclogging strip, toilet bowl cleaning strip and the like. The water soluble strip eliminates the need to purchase and store numerous containers and/or heavy containers of cleaner that take up large amounts of shelf space.

Abstract: An article that provides for the controlled release of an active substance is provided. The article features a plurality of polymeric membranes. The plurality of polymeric membranes are ultrasonically bonded to form at least one welded seal defining a bonded compartment hosting at least one active substance, where the ultrasonic welded seal exhibits a controlled positive permeability for the active substance.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a container which has a handle and having a shrink sleeve that covers the body of the container. More particularly, the shrink sleeve has a cut-out such that the sleeve covers the body of the container, but does not cover the handle.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for treating fabrics in a tumble dryer comprising a patch having a front side and a back side, wherein the back side has a means for attaching the patch to an interior surface of a tumble dryer, wherein the front side is a carrier material that is impregnated with a fabric treatment composition and wherein the patch is attached to the interior surface of a tumble dryer door or back wall, whereby a portion of the fabric treatment composition is transferred onto fabrics in the tumble dryer as a result of contact between the patch and fabrics during a tumble drying cycle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a specific ternary enzyme stabilization system which unexpectedly enhances stability of a specific cellulase enzyme in isotropic liquid detergent compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous surfactant liquid compositions in which it has been found that, if levels of 2 or 3 SALS isomer are kept within a defined window, enhanced performance and stability benefits are realized.
