A method of manufacturing an aqueous freshening composition having a plurality of particles suspended by a structurant system is provided. The method includes the steps of: mixing an aqueous carrier and at least 80 wt. % of ion-forming water-soluble ingredients of the freshening composition to form an aqueous premix; subsequently mixing a first polysaccharide into the aqueous premix; mixing a second polysaccharide into the aqueous premix after mixing the first polysaccharide into the aqueous premix to form a structured aqueous composition; and dispersing a plurality of particles into the structured aqueous composition to form the freshening composition.

A fabric suitable as an alcohol repellent fabric is provided. The fabric includes a fibrous substrate including a first outermost surface and a second outermost surface, in which a digitally printed or sprayed alcohol repellent composition is located on at least a portion the first outermost surface, at least a portion of the second outermost surface, or both. The fabric also includes an antistatic composition located on at least a portion the first outermost surface, at least a portion of the second outermost surface, or both.

A disinfection system includes a mask chamber and a cassette trolley rail mounted to the mask chamber. The system also includes a mask cassette configured to hold one or more masks and configured to mount to the cassette trolley rail such that the mask cassette translates along the cassette trolley rail. The system also includes a first array of lamps mounted to a first lamp mount within the mask chamber, where the first array of lamps is positioned to emit radiation toward a first side of the mask cassette. The system further includes a second array of lamps mounted to a second lamp mount within the mask chamber, where the second array of lamps is positioned to emit radiation toward a second side of the mask cassette that is opposite the first side of the mask cassette.

A galley insert assembly for an aircraft galley comprises an insert body including a plurality of insert walls defining an interior space therein. The insert walls are configured to interface with a galley bay of an aircraft with the insert body inserted into the galley bay. A disinfection system is included within the interior space and a door is operatively connected to the insert walls.

System and apparatus for sanitizing personal protective equipment (PPE) through the use of pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) light within a PUV light area configured to receive the PPE and having a light source to supply the PUV light. The system may further include a control mechanism in communication with the light source and operable to activate and deactivate the PUV light. A protective enclosure (for example, a housing and/or light curtains) houses the PPE and contains the PUV light within the PUV light area when the PUV light is activated. The PUV light has wavelengths in a range of 200 to 1100 nm.

A mask with a sterilization function is provided. The mask comprises two straps, a mask body, a functional layer, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a power inlet. The functional layer, the first electrode and the second electrode located in the mask body. The first electrode and the second electrode are located on a surface of the functional layer and are electrically connected to the power inlet. The first electrode and the second electrode are configured to input a current to the functional layer to heat the functional layer. The functional layer includes a carbon fiber layer.

Disclosed herein are various disinfection devices for disinfecting various objects. Such devices can include a device having a body, at least one light array disposed on an interior surface of the body, and a conveyor disposed within the body. Further disclosed are various methods of disinfecting various objects using such disinfection devices.

A facemask having a graphene layer providing antibacterial and antiviral properties. The facemask is also able to generate electricity from the wearer's breath. The graphene is a three dimensional graphene produced in situ the facemask by burning a suitable material in the facemask with a laser, i.e. laser induced graphene (LIG). Typically, the graphene comprises hydrophilic graphene, in such a way that the graphene is more hydrophilic towards one side of the substrate and less hydrophilic towards the other side of the substrate, which provides the possibility of generating an electrical potential difference using human breath.

Methods of the present invention comprise photoinactivation of catalase in combination with low-concentration peroxide solutions and/or ROS generating agents to provide antibacterial effects.
