Abstract: The method involves contacting the air with an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid in a stand-alone system. The air may be brought into contact with the liquid using a number of different types of apparatus, including a packed column scrubber. The liquid may be non-evaporative.

Abstract: An air cleaning apparatus is disclosed which, in one embodiment, has: an inlet for ambient air; an outlet for purified air; a mechanism for the uptake of a scrubbing liquor and for the removal of impurities dissolved or dispersed in the ambient air by contact with said scrubbing liquor; an inlet for feeding a scrubbing liquor from a scrubbing liquor feeding tank; an outlet for discharging used scrubbing liquor; and a blower for drawing ambient air into the apparatus, flowing the air through the apparatus and discharging the purified air from the apparatus. A kit including an apparatus as described above and a refill of scrubbing liquor ingredients, or of a scrubbing liquor concentrate or of a ready-to-use scrubbing liquor is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of cleaning a carpet with a liquid composition having a residuality index of less than 40% after vacuum cleaning, said method comprising the steps of: applying the composition onto the carpet in the form of a spray of droplets having a particle size distribution with a mean diameter D(v,0.9) of less than 1500 microns, the amount of composition applied onto the carpet being from 1 ml to 120 ml per square meter of carpet, leaving said composition to dry onto the carpet and finally removing it by vacuum cleaning said carpet. The present invention further relates to a composition for the cleaning of a carpet having a residuality index of less than 40% after vacuum cleaning, packaged in a container adapted to deliver the composition onto the carpet in the form of a spray of droplets having a particle size distribution with a mean diameter D(v,0.9) of less than 1500 microns.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid composition suitable for cleaning and sanitising carpets, comprising a peroxygen bleach, said composition being packaged in a container adapted to deliver the composition onto the carpet in the form of a spray of droplets having a particle size distribution with a mean diameter D(v,0.9) of less than 1500 microns. The present invention provides excellent cleaning performance as well as sanitising properties on the carpet, while reducing colour damage on carpets.
