A device for rapidly sanitizing a surface is described. The device has an enclosure having an opening adapted to insert a surface, and an interior; a liquid nitric oxide solution applicator; and an absorbent material. The liquid nitric oxide solution applicator is in fluid communication with the interior of the enclosure and is adapted to apply liquid nitric oxide solution onto the surface when the surface is positioned within the enclosure. A method of rapidly sanitizing a surface is described. The devices and methods provided herein may be implemented to sanitize the surface of any body part or item that may be placed within the device. An infectious agent on the surface may be killed; i.e., the surface is disinfected. Non-limiting applications of the devices and methods include preventing nosocomial infections or food contamination, sanitizing household items, and implementing sanitizing procedures to comply with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices.

A nonflammable aerosol composition for washing various types of car/vehicle is of low toxicity, which has little environmental impact in terms of depletion of the ozone layer and so forth, which has a washability as good as or better than conventional products such as has been unattained by aqueous products or high-flash-point products, which permits achievement of appropriate drying characteristics, and which, while preventing erosion of rubbers and resins, causes dirt components to be moistened and washed off and away therefrom by the detergent composition, and which permits accommodation of mechanization by virtue of its being capable of being sprayed thereonto from a roughly constant distance therefrom, said aerosol composition for washing is made to contain (Z)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and gas propellant which is N.sub.2, compressed air, CO.sub.2, argon, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

An anti-aging laundering system for fabrics comprising complementary laundering system components (a) a detergent composition, (b) a fabric rinse conditioner, and (c) an ancilliary laundry agent wherein the (b) or (c) provides a combination of (i) a fabric shape retention agent (ii) a fabric drape improver, and (iii) at least one perfume, and wherein said complementary laundering components bear common visual indicia and corresponding instructions to launder fabrics with components (a) and (b) and (c).

A cleaning composition comprising: (a) from 20 to 49 wt % propellant; (b) from 25 to 55 wt % water; (c) from 3 to 12 wt % glycol alkyl ether; (d) from 2 to 12 wt % of an alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropanol; (d) from 1.5 to 5 wt % of a nonionic surfactant; and (e) from 0.3 to 1.5 wt % of a thickener.

The present invention has as its object the provision of an aerosol product for forming a gel composition. The aerosol product has high storage stability and can form a desired gel composition easily and stably. The aerosol product for forming a gel composition of the present invention has a double-structure container including a propellant filling space and two liquid concentrate filling spaces and having a discharging mechanism for simultaneously discharging the contents filled in the two liquid concentrate filling spaces. The propellant filling space is filled with a propellant composed of a compressed gas, a first liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a first liquid concentrate composition containing water and a water-soluble alginic acid salt, and a second liquid concentrate filling space contains a second liquid concentrate composition containing water and a dissociative calcium salt. The first liquid concentrate composition and the second liquid concentrate composition are mixed to form a gel composition.

The present invention relates to freshening compositions and devices comprising same that comprise a composition having a viscosity of from about 1 mPa.Math.s to about 50,000 mPa.Math.s comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such compositions. The disclosed malodor reduction compositions do not unduely interfere with the scent of the freshening compositions and devices that comprise such technologies and the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with such freshening compositions and devices.

An automotive surface is cleaned by applying an effective amount of a cleaning composition comprising a) at least one hydrocarbon solvent in an amount from about 3 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of the composition, b) at least one thickener/rheology modifier in an amount from about 0.01 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, c) at least one silicone fluid has a viscosity ranging from about 500 to about 20,000 centistokes at 25 C., present in an amount from about 0.1 weight percent to about 3 weight percent, d) at least one wetting agent in an amount from about 0.001 to about 2%, e) at least one hydrophobic additive in an amount from about 0.1 to about 3%, and f) water in an amount from about 60 weight percent to about 85 weight percent to the automotive surface with an application implement.
