An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition and method of use is described. The automatic dishwashing cleaning composition can include a terpolymer including (meth)acrylic acid, linear or branched C1-C20 alkyl (meth)acrylate and vinylpyrrolidone; and a non-ionic surfactant.

A formulation delivery system for use with an outdoor cleaning device is provided. The formulation delivery system has a composition containing chlorine, wherein the composition is in a form of a solid chemistry and the outdoor cleaning device is a spray wand containing the composition. The chlorine is selected from the group consisting of calcium hypochlorite; 1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, 1,3-dichloro-, sodium salt, dihydrate (dichlor); 1,3,5-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione (trichlor), chloramine-T hydrate, and a combination thereof. A spray wand having a refill cartridge for containing the composition in solid form is also provided.

A method and a system for cleaning a machine for making liquid and/or semi-liquid food products for the ice cream, pastry or catering trade, wherein the machine is fed with a capsule containing a preparation for cleaning the machine, after which a cycle for cleaning the machine is started.

The present invention provides granules containing one or more bleaching catalysts selected from the group of manganese salts or manganese complexes and at least one binder selected from the group of acid organic compounds coated with 0.1 to 3% by weight, referring to the total amount of the granules, with a polyvinyl alcohol-containing coating, wherein the coating comprises at least 80% of polyvinyl alcohol or mixtures thereof, in relation to the total weight of the coating.

The present invention relates to novel sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid compounds, and methods for making and using them. The sulfoperoxycarboxylic compounds of the invention are storage stable, water soluble and have low to no odor. Further, the compounds of the present invention can be formed from non-petroleum based renewable materials. The compounds of the present invention can be used as antimicrobials, and bleaching agents. The compounds of the present invention are also suitable for use as coupling agents.

A description is given of compositions comprising a) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen peroxide donor substances, b) water, c) one or more polymers having thickening properties and d) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of hydroxypyridones and salts thereof. The compositions are notable more particularly for their advantageous shelf lives.

The present invention relates to a method of washing textile articles that can be carried out, for example, in a continuous batch tunnel washer. Embodiments of the present method can include treating the textile with an aqueous composition including cleaning agent and halogen-containing bleaching agent for a time sufficient to remove soil from the textile and contacting the halogen-treated textile with an aqueous composition including a peroxycarboxylic acid. The concentration of halogen after the sufficient time can be at a level that does not result in adverse interaction between the halogen-containing bleaching agent and the peroxycarboxylic acid.

Embodiments of the present method can clean textiles with the results of more effective stain removal and less waste through destruction of the textile article. Further, the present invention can clean a textile contacted soiled by a composition including chlorhexidine gluconate without resulting staining of the textile, which staining could have been permanent.

Stabilized compositions employing a sequestrant system and a binding system for improving shelf stability and dispensing stability of a solid activated bleach composition are disclosed. The compositions contain a peroxygen source and a catalyst activator which require generation of a peroxycarboxylic acid or other active oxygen sanitizing agent at a point of use. Stabilized compositions employ a sequestrant system including a phosphonic acid and/or dipicolinic acid sequestrant and a binding system comprising an anionic surfactant for a solid formulation of a catalyst activator and peroxygen source to provide shelf stability and dispensing stability for a activated bleach composition. Methods of formulating and use are further disclosed.
