Methods, compositions, single phase aqueous solutions, process mixtures, and kits are provided relating to recycling a fibrous surface covering, e.g., carpet, using a single-phase aqueous solution. For example, a method of recycling a fibrous surface covering may include providing the single phase aqueous solution. The single phase aqueous solution may include water and a surfactant composition. The method may include providing the fibrous surface covering. The fibrous surface covering may include: a fibrous surface layer; a first backing coupled to the fibrous surface layer; and a binder coupled to one or more of the first backing and the fibrous surface layer. The method may include contacting the single phase aqueous solution and the fibrous surface covering to form a process mixture under conditions effective to provide a recycled portion of the fibrous surface covering.

Various aspects of the embodiments relate to methods of cleaning and disinfecting with a mixture comprising a cleaning and disinfecting composition concentrate and water. The cleaning and disinfecting composition concentrate typically comprises an organic acid, a surfactant, and an alcohol, and the concentrate typically lacks any halogenated molecule.

The invention relates to an aqueous cleaning and/or sanitising composition comprising (a) at least one biocidal component (b) a polymeric delayed release additive, and (c) at least one surfactant, wherein said composition dries onto a surface being cleaned to form a dry residue and wherein properties of said dry residue are tailored by manipulation of brittleness of the polymeric delayed release additive through identity and/or quantity of the biocidal component and/or surfactant selected. The composition is intended for the cleaning and/or sanitisation of carpet, upholstery or other textiles. The invention also relates to a method of controlling the friability of the dried residue of the composition. The invention also relates to a method of cleaning and/or sanitising a textile article by applying the composition of the invention to said article, and a process of preparing said cleaning and/or sanitising composition.
