The cap may have a housing extending from a first open end to a second closed end and defining a cavity between the first open end and the second closed end and may be configured to be removably disposed within a well of the plurality of wells.

A cleaning device having a body containing a cleaning fluid, an application member in selective fluid communication with the body via a fluid path, and a first selectively permeably element provided along the fluid path, the first selectively permeable element being configured to selectively interact with one or more selected components of the cleaning fluid sufficient to remove the one or more selected components from the cleaning fluid as the cleaning fluid travels along the fluid path, and wherein selective interaction between the first selectively permeable element and the one or more selected components includes at least a physical interaction. Also disclosed in methods of making and using the cleaning devices described herein.

Methods include disposing a layer of a solution or emulsion having a nanostructure on a surface. The surface further includes a SARS-CoV-2 virus disposed thereon. The nanostructure includes a compound or salt thereof. The compound includes one or more styrene units, one or more N-alkylacrylamide units, and a moiety represented by the formula:

##STR00001##

where R.sup.1 is alkyl. The compound includes a moiety represented by the formula:

##STR00002##

where R.sup.1 is alkyl and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently hydrogen or alkyl. The compound includes a plurality of N,N-(dialkylamino)(divalent alkyl) alkylacrylate units. One or more of the N,N-(dialkylamino)(divalent alkyl)alkylacrylate units has an unsubstituted nitrogen. One or more of the N,N-(dialkylamino)(divalent alkyl)alkylacrylate units is substituted with a C.sub.1-C.sub.16 alkyl moiety, and one or more of the N,N-(dialkylamino)(divalent alkyl) alkylacrylate units is substituted with a moiety selected from the group consisting of guanidine, polygalactose, coumarin, and combination(s) thereof.

A sanitizing composition is provided. The sanitizing composition includes including 0.1 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of one or more antimicrobial, antifungal, and/or antiviral agents and 0.001 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of one or more volatile acids or volatile bases. The sanitizing composition includes 0.0001 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of one or more pH indicators having a color transition pH ranging from about 2 to about 6.5 or a pH indicator having a color transition ranging from about 7.5 to about 12. The sanitizing composition includes 80 wt. % to about 98 wt. % of one or more volatile solvents. Optionally, the sanitizing composition includes one or more additives. Porous, flexible, substrates pre-saturated with the sanitizing composition and methods of use are also provided.

The invention relates to hygiene products for filtering or removal of virus particles and/or fragments thereof using an anti-virus moiety immobilised in a matrix.

An odor control composition including an essential oil that binds and/or neutralizes organic malodor molecules; and a high surface area essential mineral (HSAEM) that binds and/or neutralize organic malodor molecules. Textiles having the odor control compositions applied thereon and/or treated with the odor control compositions in which the treated textile binds and/or neutralizes the organic malodor molecules for a prolonged period of time (e.g., up to twenty-five (25) wash cycles, for several months, for several years, or any combination thereof).
