  • Patent number: 11034919
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and a method for treating substrates, such as fabrics; in particular a composition that can deliver cleaning and anti-microbial benefits to the fabric thereby delaying laundry. There is a long left need for a composition, which can clean the fabric and deliver anti-microbial benefits without the use of water and detergents. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition with no surfactants in it which can deliver cleaning and anti-microbial benefits through a single product. It has been found that cleaning and anti-microbial benefits on fabric can be achieved by a solvent mix of a glycol ether, a fatty acid ester and a diol in combination with a bipolar antimicrobial particle in an aqueous solution.

  • Publication number: 20150072921
    Abstract: A method of reducing the spread of disease by inhibiting the growth of or eliminating harmful bacteria which are the cause of the disease in an organism or damage to organic material. The method inhibits bacterial growth in the organism without harming the organism or other organisms in the environment. The method includes formulating an antimicrobial agent that is taken up to the vector organism known to spread disease due to the presence of harmful microbes such as bacteria living in the organism. The antimicrobial agent eradicates and/or inhibits the future growth of the bacteria in the organism, thereby leaving the organism free of the infecting bacteria while not being a poison to the organism.
