A malodour reducing spray composition comprising: a. 0.1 to 15 wt. % emollient; b. 0.5 to 15 wt. % emulsifier; and c. Water.

Disclosed herein are compositions (e.g., sprays, paints, etc.) that comprise antimicrobial zeolite nanoparticles. Also provided are hemostatic compositions comprising zeolite nanoparticles, dryer sheets comprising zeolite nanoparticles, and textiles comprising zeolite nanoparticles. Also disclosed are compositions (e.g., sprays) that include a binder polymer to improve coating adherence. In some cases, the zeolite nanoparticles can further comprise an optical tracer (e.g., a fluorophore) associated with the zeolite nanoparticles. The optical tracer can be interrogated to confirm presence of the zeolite nanoparticles (or a coating comprising the zeolite nanoparticles) on a surface. Also provided are methods of forming viricidal coatings using compositions that comprise zeolite nanoparticles dispersed in a carrier.

The invention relates to treated cellulosic fibers comprising internally dispersed cuprous oxide (Cu.sub.2O) nanoparticles, methods of preparing such treated cellulosic fibers, and uses of such treated cellulosic fibers.

A surface-mineralized substrate having an enhanced functional capability, for example, enhanced antibacterial activity, a method of making the surface-mineralized substrate, and an article of manufacture, for example, packaging for fresh produce, comprising or formed from or of the surface-mineralized substrate.

A fabric delivers active ingredients to a surface when the fabric includes a moist-vapor porous combination of fabric materials, and the fabric comprises at least 0.5% by total weight of at least one layer of the fabric of a superabsorbent polymer fiber. The superabsorbent polymer fiber contains an absorbed aqueous reservoir of an aqueous solution carrying the active ingredients. The superabsorbent fiber has a coating on its surface of an aqueous penetrable layer through which a liquid in the absorbed aqueous reservoir can migrate or flow, carrying the active ingredients onto an exposed surface of the superabsorbent polymer fiber, so that the active ingredients on the surface of the superabsorbent polymer can react or interact with an environment in contact with the active ingredients on the superabsorbent polymer fiber surface.
