A method for monitoring cleaning of a surface includes applying an amount of transparent indicator material to an area of a surface and measuring the amount of transparent indicator material remaining on the surface. The transparent indicator material may be fixed on the surface by drying and, when a fluorescent material, may be measured through exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

A laundry care composition including: (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a least one compound represented by Formula (I):

##STR00001##

The ratio of Formula I to its oxidized form is at least 1:3 and each individual R.sub.o, R.sub.m and R.sub.p group on each of rings A, B and C is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium and R.sup.5. At least one of the R.sub.o and R.sub.m groups on at least one of the three rings A, B or C is hydrogen and each R.sub.p is independently selected from hydrogen, —OR.sup.1 and —NR.sup.1R.sup.2, G is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, and mixtures thereof. Methods of treating textiles with such detergent compositions.

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.
