An aqueous fabric spray composition, comprising: a. 1-10 w.t. % silicone, wherein the silicone is in the form of an emulsion b. 0.01-1.5 w.t. % setting polymer.

The present application is directed to water and surfactant-containing liquid washing or cleaning agents containing a hydrophobic precursor compound in microemulsified form, from which a peroxycarboxylic acid or the salt thereof can be released by UV radiation. Methods for washing textiles and cleaning hard surfaces using such precursor compounds are also included.

A cleaning composition for removing oil stains from fabrics is an oil-in-water emulsion containing a silicone oil having at least 5 silicon atoms and a vapor pressure of at most 0.05 kPa at 25° C., at least one poly(dimethyl siloxane) having up to 2 to 4 silicon atoms and a vapor pressure of at least 0.25 kPa at 25° C., and an emulsifier. The cleaning composition is useful for removing oil stains from fabrics that have an applied hydrophobic coating. The cleaning composition effectively removes the oil stains with little adverse affect, and sometimes even a beneficial effect, on the water-repellency of the fabric.

A composition is provided for hard surface cleaning and odor removal. Performance characteristics such as high odor removal and hard surface cleaning performance are achieved using a zinc ricinoleate-based odor neutralizer coupled with a polymeric ester based hard surface cleaning agent. The composition may be formulated for use in a trigger bottle, aerosol, or wipe applications.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) at least one oil phase, b) at least one aqueous phase, c) at-least one emulsifier, wherein the at-least one emulsifier is any or combination of at-least one emulsifier agent, water with emulsification properties, oil with emulsification properties, and active ingredient with emulsification properties; and d) optionally, one or more biologically active ingredients. The present invention also relates to use of the composition for personal care, pet care, home care, deodorants, pesticides, moisturizers, disinfectants, cleansers, therapeutic devices, topical supplements and/or nutrition. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing such a composition.

The invention discloses synergistic combinations of surfactant blends and cleaning compositions employing the same. In certain embodiments a surfactant system is disclosed which includes an extended anionic surfactant with novel linker surfactants including one or more of an alkyl glycerol ether, an ethoxylated alkyl glycerol ether, an alcohol ethoxylate and/or a Gemini surfactant. This system forms emulsions with, and can remove greasy and oily stains, even those comprised of non-trans fats. The compositions may be used alone, as a pre-spotter or other pre-treatment or as a part of a soft surface or hard surface cleaning composition.

A cleaning composition is particularly suited for cleaning dirty intake valves. The cleaning composition includes a high solvency surfactant/solvent which has a Kb greater than 100 or polar Hansen solubility parameter greater than 6. The surfactant/solvent is combined with an organic carrier and a surfactant. A wetting agent may also be employed. The cleaning composition is added to the intake air as a mist as the engine is running.

Disclosed herein are detergent compositions containing extended chain surfactants that form microemulsions with and can remove greasy and oily stains. In certain embodiments the extended nonionic surfactant includes Guerbet C.sub.10 or C.sub.12(PO).sub.8(EO).sub.n. The detergent compositions and methods of employing the same beneficially clean soils from textiles including difficult to remove cosmetic soils and food oils, even those comprised of non-trans fats.

A fabric car composition, including a fabric softening agent that includes polyquaternium-7, a thickener that includes at least one of a polyoxyethylene sorbitol tetra stearate thickener and an acrylate copolymer; and a co-solvent that includes alcohol ethoxylates.

Disclosed are solutions having ozone in designated doses, and ozonized oil in nano or micron scales, and also methods of production and to the use of such solutions.
