Abstract: A bleaching product and a method of removing soils from fabrics by contacting the fabrics in an aqueous wash solution with a product comprising a peracid precursor, a source of hydrogen peroxide and a source for delayed release of an acid into the wash solution to initially permit effective in situ formation of peracid, the acid thereafter reducing the pH of the wash solution for enhancing bleach performance of the peracid. The source of the acid may be included in the bleaching product, for example, as an acid of delayed solubility, an acid coated with a low solubility agent or an acid generating species, or independent of the bleaching product. The acid source is selected to be compatible with the peracid or precursor and adjuncts.

Abstract: The invention provides, in one embodiment, an odor controlling animal litter comprising:a) adsorbent or absorbent particles; andb) an ammonia-controlling-effective amount of i) pine oil and ii) boric acid applied onto the particles. The litter can also include further adjuncts, such as fragrances, other antimicrobial additives, and the like.

Abstract: The invention provides a liquid composition for deodorizing animal wastes by direct application thereto. The composition comprises an aqueous dispersion which contains an ammonia-controlling-effective amount of pine oil and boric acid.

Abstract: This invention relates to an clay-based animal litter to which has been applied a liquid carrier containing a boron-containing compound in an odor-controlling effective amount. The boron-containing compound acts by antimicrobial action, controlling urease, or a combination of these mechanisms when the litter is used by the animal.
