The present invention provides a fragrance composition comprising at least one fragrance, at least one alkoxy alcohol solvent, and at least one co-solvent, and wherein the composition has a water content of less than 5 wt. %. The invention further provides an atomiser for dispensing a fragrance; the atomiser comprising: a. An outer housing; b. An orifice plate and piezo electric element; c. A liquid reservoir comprising a liquid to be atomised, the liquid comprising the fragrance composition hereinabove; and d. A liquid transport member, wherein the liquid transport member extends from within the liquid reservoir to abut the orifice plate, and wherein the liquid transport member is substantially contained within the liquid reservoir and both the liquid transport member and liquid reservoir are readily detachable together from the atomiser.

A sterilization challenge device for verifying the efficacy of a gas sterilization process includes an outer container, an inner container, a chemical indicator, and a cap. The outer container includes an open end, a closed end, a chamber configured to contain the inner container containing the chemical indicator, and at least one hole arranged proximate the open end. The cap is configured to engage with the outer container to close the open end, and the at least one hole is configured to provide a flow path for the gaseous sterilant into the chamber.

The present invention herein provides a disinfectant composition containing a) an effective amount of a hydrogen peroxide source, b) a blend of at least one aromatic alcohol and at least one glycol or glycol ether, c) at least one nonionic and/or anionic surfactant and d) at least one acid. Furthermore a method of using the disinfectant composition is also provided, whereby the composition can be applied to any surface and effectively kill a majority of tuberculosis and/or M. terrae microbes; resulting in a >5 log reduction at a contact time of 5 minutes or less.

The present disclosure provides on-demand agent dispensing patches, kits and related methods. A flexible patch is configured to provide on-demand dispensing of the agent via compression of the patch. The patch comprises: an adhesive layer to removably couple the patch to a surface; at least one reservoir layer overlying the adhesive layer configured to absorb and retain the agent therein; at least one dispenser layer overlying the at least one reservoir layer comprising a plurality of solid portions and an array of a plurality of openings configured to inhibit evaporation of the agent and control a flow of the agent therefrom upon the compression of the patch; and at least one backer layer between the adhesive layer and the at least one reservoir layer being substantially impervious to the agent. The at least one reservoir layer may be void of the agent, which may be provided in a container.

Disclosed are compositions comprising Rhamnus prinoides (GESHO) extract or fragments thereof and methods of using Gesho extract for the inhibition of biofilm formation.

This disclosure relates to a method for sanitizing the air and surfaces in a space. The method includes dispersing a sanitizing composition containing a glycol (e.g., triethylene glycol) into the space at a frequency to maintain the sanitizing composition in an aerosol form at a concentration ranging from about 0.02 mg/m3 to about 0.09 mg/m3 in the space.

The present invention relates to freshening compositions, devices comprising same and methods of using and manufacturing same. A freshening composition of the present invention comprises (i) from about 0.1 wt % to about 95 wt % perfume raw material and (ii) from about 0.01 wt % to about 90 wt % fragrance release modulator. Some freshening compositions further comprise a solvent and/or an ingredient having a functional activity. Disclosed are passive and active air or surface freshening devices comprising a freshening composition that allow controlled and customized release of the freshening composition or of a component thereof into or onto an environment. The addition of a fragrance release modulator to formulate a freshening composition of the present invention allows for modulation of the release of the freshening composition or of a component thereof.
