Abstract: Acidic antimicrobial compositions for treating food surfaces and food contact surfaces comprise an organic acid and a surfactant, said composition having a pH of from about 2 to about 5. Concentrated, acidic antimicrobial compositions preferably comprise a stabilizing agent to prevent precipitation of the surfactant upon dilution of the concentrated composition. Methods of use comprise contacting food surfaces or food contact surfaces with the compositions of the present invention. Articles of manufacture comprise a container, an acidic antimicrobial composition, and a set of instructions in association with the container.

Abstract: Dryer-activated fabric softening compositions and articles having improved stability, for use in an automatic clothes dryer consisting essentially of: (A) from about 30% to about 75% of a diester quaternary ammonium (DEQA) compound having the formula: [CH2CH2OH][CH3]+N[CH2CH2OC(O)R]2X− wherein R is a long chain, saturated and/or unsaturated, C8-C30 hydrocarbyl, or substituted hydrocarbyl substituent and mixtures thereof, and the counterion, X−, can be any softener-compatible anion; and, (B) nonionic softener at a level of from about 15% to about 50%, where the nonionic softener is fatty acid partial ester of sorbitan; and wherein the ratio of component (A) to component (B) is from about 3:1 to about 1:1.

Abstract: Polymeric soil release agents that have high viscosities when molten are difficult to process. Certain organic materials can be added to such agents to lower the viscosity and improve processing. Examples of such organic materials include fatty acids, some nonionic ethylene glycol derivatives, polyethylene or polypropylene glycols and their short alkyl chain ethers, certain polyhydroxy and alkyl ether solvents, and aryl ethers of propylene glycol.
