Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus and method for dispensing a fluid, the apparatus including a container capable of retaining the fluid and having a top, bottom, front surface, and rear surface; a dip tube integrally formed with the rear surface of the container, the dip tube having a first end extending toward the top and a second end extending toward bottom; and a spout member mounted to the top of the container, the spout member including a pour spout adjacent the front surface for dispensing the retained fluid and an air vent adjacent the rear surface with a supply line in connection with the first end of the dip tube for directing air into the container.

Abstract: Wipes dispensers having suitable height and a substantially oval bottom are more ergonomically gripped by consumers and can be easily used with one-handed dispensing from a counter-top. They are also suitable to contain a large number of wipes in a canister that can be ergonomically gripped and has a suitable weight to wipe ratio. Oval wipes canisters of 4.5 to 8.5 inches in height containing coreless rolls of wet wipes or other wipes forms are of ergonomic shape and contain wipes of suitable hand size.

Abstract: The present invention relates to disinfecting articles and wipes saturated with an aqueous hypohalite composition with improved stability and extended efficacy for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces against harmful and infectious pathogens. The wipe substrate is selected from hypohalite stable materials that do not catalyze decomposition of the associated aqueous hypohalite releasing compositions. The disinfectant articles provide a minimum disinfecting level of active hypohalite for an extended time, ensuring reliably disinfection of hard surfaces such as countertops, toilet seats, door knobs and the like commonly found in the home, hospital, food service and other industries.

Abstract: A disinfectant and cleansing composition is provided in the form of an extruded solid. The active agent in the composition is a halogen-releasing agent such as a halogenated 5,5-dialkylhydantoin. An inert binder such as a fatty acid salt or a hectoritic clay is used to enable manufacture of the composition using an extrusion process. Fragrance, colorants, and other pressure-sensitive materials may be included; fragrance and colorants are preferably incorporated in encapsulated form. Methods for manufacturing the compositions are also provided, as are methods for using the compositions in sanitizing water, particularly in disinfecting and cleansing flush toilets.
