Certain booster compositions and methods of using the booster compositions to clean fermentation equipment are disclosed. The booster compositions are useful in environments with variable, changing, unstable, or limited alkalinity sources found within fermentation equipment.

An antimicrobial composition comprising: a) C2-C8 alkylated polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer; and b) biocidal agent selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorohexidine salts, polymeric biguanides, organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, tertiary alkyl amines, iodophors and mixtures thereof.

A composition is provided for a non-aqueous foaming aerosol cleaner or lubricant. Foam builders, especially silicone glycol copolymers, are used to generate high density foam of the solvent-based formula. A cleaning product variant may be introduced via an air intake route for loosening deposits in an internal combustion engine. The high foam aerosol product dispenses easily without causing engine stalling. A process of lubricating a target substrate is also provided.

The invention is a detergent solution for cleaning a receptacle for milk or liquid milk-derived products, the detergent solution comprising water, one or more types of surfactant and an odour absorbing compound. The surfactants are provided to dissolve greasy milk-based residues from the receptacle and the odour absorbing compound is provided to neutralise odours produced by any remaining milk-based residues not removed by the surfactants. The detergent solution is water-based so that it can be rinsed off easily in a sink in the home. The detergent solution is particularly suited to plastic receptacles because plastic is more prone to accumulating mal-odour producing bacteria. This is because a plastic surface is more porous than glass so it is more difficult to remove greasy residues from a plastic surface and therefore grease can build up in the pores, out of the reach of surfactants, and provide a place for odour-producing bacteria to grow. An odour absorbing compound does not remove the residue but can neutralise the odours from the residue. The invention also discloses a method for dispensing a detergent solution comprising at least one surfactant, the method comprising ejecting detergent solution from a reservoir in the form of a spray, wherein the surfactant is present in the detergent solution in an amount of from 3% to 15% by weight of the detergent solution. The invention discloses also a method of cleaning a receptacle for milk, or liquid milk-derived products, the method comprising: spraying a detergent solution comprising at least one surfactant onto the receptacle, wherein the surfactant is present in the detergent solution in an amount of from 3% to 15% by weight of the detergent solution.

A thickened aqueous detergent liquid composition comprising: (i) at least 5 wt % (more preferably at least 10%, more preferably at least 15% and most preferably at least 20% wt.) of a surfactant system comprising anionic surfactant, (ii) a thickening system comprising a copolymer formed by the addition polymerisation of: (A) 0 to 5 wt % of a first monomer consisting of an ethylenically unsaturated diacid of formula (I): or an unsaturated cyclic anhydride precursor of such an ethylenically unsaturated diacid, the anhydride having formula (II) where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are individually selected from H, C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyl, phenyl, chlorine and bromine; (B) 15 to 60 wt % of a second ethylenically unsaturated monoacidic monomer consisting of (meth)acrylic acid; (C) 30 to 70 wt % of a third ethylenically unsaturated monomer consisting of C.sub.1-C.sub.8 alkyl ester(s) of (meth)acrylic acid; (D) 1 to 25 wt %, of a fourth ethylenically unsaturated monomer, consisting of surfmer of formula (III): wherein each R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each independently selected from H, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, —C(═O)OH, or —C(═O)OR.sub.5; R.sub.5 is a C.sub.1-C.sub.30 alkyl; T is —CH.sub.2C(═O)O—, —C(═O)O—, —O—, —CH.sub.2O—, —NHC(═O)NH—, —C(═O)NH—, —Ar—(CE.sub.2).sub.z-NHC(═O)O—, —Ar—(CE.sub.2).sub.z-NHC(═O)NH—, or —CH.sub.2CH.sub.2NHC(═O)—Ar is divalent aryl; E is H or methyl; z is 0 or 1; k is an integer in the range of 0 to 30; and q is 0 or 1; with the proviso that when k is 0, q is 0, and when k is in the range of 1 to 30; q is 1; (R.sub.6O).sub.m is polyoxyalkylene, which is a homopolymer, a random copolymer, or a block copolymer of C.sub.2-C.sub.4-oxyalkylene units, wherein R.sub.6 is C.sub.2H.sub.4, C.sub.3H.sub.6, C.sub.4H.sub.8, or a mixture thereof, and m is an integer in the range of 5 to 250; Y is —R.sub.6O—, —R.sub.6H—, —C(═O)—, —C(═O)NH—, ═R.sub.6NHC(═O)NH—, or —C(═O)NHC(═O)—; and R.sub.7 is substituted or unsubstituted alkyl selected from the group consisting of C.sub.8-C.sub.40 linear alkyl, C.sub.8-C.sub.40 branched alkyl, C.sub.8-C.sub.40 carbocyclic alkyl, C.sub.2-C.sub.40 alkyl-substituted, phenyl, aryl-substituted C.sub.2-C.sub.40 alkyl, and C.sub.8-C.sub.80 complex ester; wherein the R.sub.7 alkyl group optionally comprises one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, alkoxy, and halogen and (E) 0 to 5 wt %, of a cross linking agent, for introducing branching and controlling molecular weight, the cross linking monomer comprising polyfunctional units carrying multiple reactive functionalisation groups selected from the group consisting of vinyl,

A laundry detergent formulation is provided that is formed as an aqueous blend of surfactants, enzymes, builders, and soil release polymers to inhibit soil re-deposition back onto other clothing or elements of the washing machine. The detergent formulation also contains additives with properties that impart a treatment to fabrics that inhibits future soil deposition onto the clothing with continued use. The detergent formulation provides cleaning of heavy duty grease and automotive soils from clothing surfaces that is superior to current detergent products.
