A biofilm inhibiting, non-antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed, comprising from about 10.0 wt. % to less than about 30 wt. % of one or more C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alcohols; about 0.5 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one primary surfactant, based on the total weight of the cleansing composition; 0 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one secondary surfactant, based on the total weight of the cleansing composition; a pH adjusting agent; and water. The composition does not achieve a microbial kill level greater than 2.0 log and reduces the formation of a biofilm by at least 30%, compared to an otherwise comparable composition that does not include about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of one or more C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alcohols.

An underwater cavitation jet cleaning system provided with an automatic metering feeder for cleaning solution organically integrates a cavitation jet technology with the improvement of cleaning solutions, which can not only increase bubbles can be during jet, but also is beneficial for removing hull dirt. An eddy segment of a nozzle is arranged as a spiral passage, and the eddy segment is gradually reduced from a water inlet to a water outlet, so that a speed of fluid becomes further faster. A volume of an in-pipe chamber of a barrel is different, and the fluid is pulsed while flowing through the barrel, so that the fluid is finally ejected from the nozzle of a cleaning gun, which efficiently improves the cavitation rate, and increases the generation of cavitation nucleus.

Provided is a composition for shrinking a photoresist pattern, which is capable of shrinking a photoresist pattern using a photoresist during the fabrication of a semiconductor, and to a method of shrinking a pattern using the composition, whereby a pattern to be formed can be shrunken in a photoresist-patterning process, thus remarkably decreasing the number of steps of a semiconductor fabrication process and reducing the fabrication time and costs.

A package has a container formed with a dispensing opening and a supply of nonwoven disinfecting wipes in the container. The wipes are made of fibers containing lignin and impregnated with a disinfectant solution having at least two liquid components. A lignin content of the nonwoven wipes is between 0.02 g/m.sup.2 and 1 g/m.sup.2 and/or the disinfectant solution contains a dye. Thus if at least a part of one of the wipes is overexposed to air, it will change color as oxidized lignin and/or dye collects in it.
