The present invention relates to a composition, in particular, a fabric conditioning composition, comprising at least a quaternary ammonium compound, a cationic polysaccharide, a nonionic polysaccharide and a fragrance material or perfume. In particular, the quaternary ammonium compound is a biodegradable quaternary ammonium compound. The composition has excellent softening performance and improved perfume longevity.

The demulsifying cleaning of metallic surfaces which may be contaminated with oil(s) with at least one further nonpolar organic compound, with fat(s), with soap(s), with particulate dirt or with at least one anionic organic compound using an aqueous, alkaline, surfactant-containing bath solutions.

Alkaline cleaning compositions with a blend of an amine and a nonionic alcohol ethoxylate between about 1:2 to about 1:10, preferably about 1:5 to about 1:10, with an alkalinity source and chelant are provided. The cleaning compositions provide efficacious cleaning of fatty soils to enhance fatty soil removal. Methods of cleaning surfaces using the cleaning composition are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to textile care agents and to optically clear and transparent fabric softener formulations which also have a viscous consistency, containing a combination of special ester quats with nonionic emulsifiers and cationic thickeners, to the use of said textile care agents and fabric softener formulations. The present disclosure also relates to a method for washing textiles using said textile care agent and fabric softener formulations. The present disclosure relates to methods for producing the special ester quats, to the thus resulting ester quats and to the use thereof.

A composition that is useful for disinfecting surfaces, instruments, or equipment that may comprise an oxidizer precursor, a pH adjusting agent, an acetylating agent, a chelating agent, and a quaternary ammonium salt is described. The composition may be dispensed in a variety of ways, for example, such as a sprayed solution, a fog, or a foam.

A biocidal composition is provided, which comprise a mixture of the biocides Poly-(hexamethylene-guanidium chloride) and N,N-didecyl-N-methyl-poly(oxyethyl) ammonium propionate, which biocides have a synergistic biocidal effect against bacteria and fungi. Specifically, the provided composition can be as disinfectants and general biocidal products; preservatives; pest control; control; preservatives for food or feedstocks; antifouling products; embalming and taxidermist fluids; and control of other vertebrates; vermin control on domestic animals, livestock or pets; alga control; and products for use in spas or swimming pools.
