The present disclosure generally relates to a method for preparing a powder or granular foam control compositions and methods for reducing or preventing or breaking foam in various applications such as powder detergents as well as coatings, cementing, concrete, gypsum board and other construction type applications or in some agricultural formulations like fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

The present invention provides a cleaner composition having excellent cleaning properties and appropriate drying properties. The present invention is a cleaner composition including: (A) a hydrofluoroolefin having a boiling point of 30 C. or more and less than 100 C.; and (B) at least one of a perfluoropolyether having a boiling point of 100 C. or more and a hydrofluoroolefin having a boiling point of 100 C. or more, where a mass ratio of the component (A) and the component (B) is 99:1 to 55:45.

An ancillary laundry composition comprising: (a) 2.5-30 w.t. % fabric softening silicone; (b) Less than 2 w.t. % surfactant; (c) 0.25-10 w.t. % cationic polymer (d) Water.

Compositions include a water-soluble copolymer, a hydrophilic silane compound, and in some embodiments surfactant dispersed in a liquid phase. Methods of using the compositions to coat and optionally clean a substrate are also disclosed.

A method for indicating release of an antibacterial agent or for indicating an amount of time for cleansing skin with an aqueous cleansing composition comprising a surfactant and a zinc X halide complex, wherein X is an amino acid or trimethylglycine, wherein the method comprises washing skin with the cleansing composition and water for a time until the zinc X halide complex precipitates from the aqueous cleansing composition.

An improved composition and method of use is provided which is suitable for treating live animal growth facility, meat processing facilities and food processing facilities. The composition comprises 34-99.35 wt % water; 0.1 to 3 wt % hydrophobizing agents; up to 5 wt % antistatic agents; 0.05 to 3 wt % wetting agents; and 0.5 to 55 wt % film forming agent. The composition is applied to surfaces and allowed to dry.

A cleaning liquid including a compound represented by the following formula (1):

(CH.sub.3).sub.3CRO(C.sub.4H.sub.8O).sub.L(C.sub.3H.sub.6O).sub.m(C.sub.2H.sub.4O).sub.nH (1)

and water; and a method of cleaning an ink-jet printer using the cleaning liquid. In the formula (1), R represents a linear or branched C1 to C5 hydrocarbon group, and L, m, and n each represent the average number of repeats, and L0, m0, n>0, and (L+m)/n=1.5/1 to 1/1.5.

Fabric treatment compositions that include benefit agent capsules and diaminostilbene brightener. Methods of using the same. Wash water containing such compositions.

In a method of cleaning a substrate, a solution including a size-modification material is applied on a substrate, on which particles to be removed are disposed. Size-modified particles having larger size than the particles are generated, from the particles and the size-modification material. The size-modified particles are removed from the substrate.

Methods comprising the steps of contacting a surface with a liquid composition comprising a cleaning agent, an adhesion promoter, and at least one dye, the surface having a first surface contamination; transitioning at least one portion of the surface in the first surface contamination state to a second surface contamination state and simultaneously distributing the at least one dye and at least one adhesion promoter on the surface associated with the second surface contamination state, the second surface contamination state having reduced or eliminated surface contamination, the transitioning step simultaneously cleaning and preparing the at least one portion of the surface for adhesion to another material; and identifying remaining surface in the first surface contamination state, and compositions adapted for the method thereof.
