The disclosure provides compositions and methods for making a colorized solution of an aqueous disinfectant that is both stable in bulk solution and will fade to clear within a predetermined period of time after being applied to a surface, for example as a spray or film. The compositions and methods described here allow an end user to visualize both the extent of coverage and the duration of contact of the disinfectant with the surface, thereby providing more efficient disinfection of the surface.

The invention provides to a powdered composition of additives and a method of use thereof for increasing the visibility, potency and coverage of disinfectant solutions, such as bleach.

The invention relates to a method of automatic dishwashing, comprising: placing soiled wares inside a cleaning volume; providing a first cleaning composition comprising a bleach and a second cleaning composition different from the first composition; and delivering the first composition and the second composition separately to the cleaning volume to contact the soiled wares, wherein: the first composition is delivered to the cleaning volume as a mist and the second composition is delivered to the cleaning volume as a jet; and the first and second compositions are delivered to the cleaning volume at a temperature below 100° C. The invention also relates to a dishwasher and a kit for use in the inventive method.

A detergent additive comprising an active, the active comprising one or both of tetraacetylethylenediamine and triacetylethylenediamine; and polyvinyl butyral. A method of preparing a detergent additive comprising providing a solvent to a reaction mixture; providing polyvinyl butyral to the reaction mixture; providing an active to the reaction mixture, the active comprising one or both of tetraacetylethylenediamine and triacetylethylenediamine; mixing the reaction mixture; and spray-drying the reaction mixture.

The oxidizing and bleaching effect of peroxygen compounds at low temperatures was to be improved. This was substantially achieved through the use of organic peroxoacids under perhydrolysis conditions with compounds which form cationic groups and in which a quaternary nitrogen atom is part of a heterocyclic 5-membered functional group.

The invention relates to the field of removing various types of deposits from a surface, specifically to means for cleaning metallic and ceramic surfaces of industrial equipment, and can be used for removing deposits, such as oxides of metals (iron, chromium, nickel, etc.), carbonate and salt deposits, asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits and deposits of a petroleum nature, and deposits of an organic and biological deposits. The proposed solution for removing various types of deposits contains hydrogen peroxide, complexone, an anti-foaming agent, water-soluble calixarene and water in the following ratio: hydrogen peroxide, a catalyst for decomposing peroxide compounds, an antifoaming agent, complexone, water-soluble calixarene and water in the following quantitative ratio:2-35% by mass of hydrogen peroxide; 2-20% by mass of a catalyst for decomposing peroxide compounds; 3-10% by mass of complexone; 0.1-5% by mass of surface-active agent; 0.01%-1.0% by mass of anti-foaming agent; 0.01-1% by mass of water-soluble calixarene, with the remainder being water. The technical result is an increase in the effectiveness of action of a solution (degree of cleaning) for cleaning surfaces soiled with deposits having a high content of organic substances, while simultaneously extending the field of use of said solution.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition comprising: a) a mixed builder system comprising soluble builder and crystalline silicate wherein the soluble builder comprises a complexing agent, a phosphonate and a dispersant polymer and wherein the level of each soluble builder in the composition is: a1) from 15% to 40% by weight of the composition of the complexing agent; a2) from 2% to 7% by weight of the composition of the phosphonate; and a3) from 1% to 7% by weight of the composition of the dispersant polymer wherein the soluble builder and the crystalline silicate are in a weight ratio of from 8:1 to 15:1 b) a bleaching system comprising bleach, a bleach catalyst and a bleach activator; and c) from 0% to 20% by weight of the composition of carbonate.

Provided is the use of a lanthanide metal complex as a bleaching catalyst. In particular, the lanthanide metal complex comprises a ligand which is an aromatic compound having at least one electron withdrawing substituent and at least one nucleophilic group. Provided is also a composition containing the lanthanide metal complex.
