A liquid fabric care composition including an organic acid and/or a salt thereof, Bacillus spores, a fragrance material comprising aldehydic perfume raw materials, water and wherein the composition includes less than 10%, by weight of the liquid fabric care composition, of a material selected from the group consisting of detersive surfactant, bleaching systems, fabric softening materials, and mixtures thereof and wherein the liquid fabric care composition has a neat pH of from about 2 to about 4.

The present disclosure generally relates to a method for degrading malodors preferably with regard to the treatment of hard and/or soft surfaces, and more particularly relates to the degradation of malodors in the context of a textile treatment method using bacterial spores.

The present disclosure generally relates to a method for degrading malodors using bacterial spores with regard to the treatment of hard and/or soft surfaces, and more particularly relates to the degradation of malodors in the context of a textile treatment method.

The present disclosure generally relates to a method for degrading the malodor sweat using bacterial spores with regard to the treatment of hard and/or soft surfaces, and more particularly relates to the degradation of malodors in the context of a textile treatment method.

The present invention relates to methods for heat treating spores, which improves subsequent germination properties.

The present invention relates to a biodegradable detergent composition, which can contain viable cells or enzymes and acts as a replacement for the chemical detergents. The biodegradable detergent composition, comprising of: bio surfactant; polyols; biopolymer; organic acid; small chain peptide; essential oil; and stabilizers. The biodegradable detergent composition has a pH value of less than about 3.60, Titratable Acidity % between about 9.0-12.0, HLB value between about 14 to about 16.5, E24 value between about 73 and about 79. The biodegradable detergent composition has MALDI-TOF MS spectra in the m/z range from about 513.1 to about 2847.7 with peak mass value range from about 1375.8 m/z to about 2009.2 m/z. Further, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing the biodegradable detergent composition.

A composition comprising a microbial consortium comprising one or more ammonium-oxidizing strains which are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) and which are selected from the group of Nitrosomonas, Nitrosospira, Nitrosopumilus, Cenarchaeum, Nitrosoarchaeum, Nitrosocaldus, Caldiarchaeum; and one or more GRAS strains which are commensal to the one or more ammonium-oxidizing strains, and which are selected from the group of Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Bacillus, Beijerinckia, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Flavobacterium, Rhizobium, Serratia and Deinococcus, especially for treating hard surfaces and treating textiles.

The subject invention provides yeast-based products, as well as their use to improve industrial production and performance by, for example, efficiently cleaning contaminating and/or fouling substances such as FOG, biofilm, paraffin, and/or asphaltenes from industrial equipment.

A treatment device for a drain is presented to reduce at least one of odor, insect, uric acid, and grease and oil problems. The treatment comprises a dispenser that is configured to couple a stem from a drain extending into a drain pipe. At least a portion of the dispenser is composed of the active agent and thereby dispenses the active agent. The active agent includes at least one of an insecticide, a deodorant, uric acid-consuming bacteria, and an enzyme that digests grease and oil. Thus, problems associated with drains are substantially reduced using the treatment device.

Household and/or commercial cleaning articles including a textile layer, a foam or sponge layer, and/or an abrasive layer, which show Moraxella sp. inhibiting activity of a ratio of less than 0.025 (i.e. 40-fold) in a long-term polymer-matrix test. The result is the reduction of negative effects normally associated with Moraxella sp. in such articles.
