A detergent is provided for removing pet odors and stains, the detergent including: one or more of a surfactant, a buffering agent, a preservative, an odor absorber, a builder, and an enzyme; and a fragrance that is non-toxic for pets.

A method of cleaning dishware in a domestic dishwasher, the method having the steps of: placing the dishware in the dishwasher; delivering a first high-alkalinity composition into the dishwasher to create a first wash liquor having a pH of 11 or greater; delivering a second lower-alkalinity composition into the dishwasher to create a second wash liquor having a pH of less than 11; and subjecting the dishware to the first composition before subjecting it to the second composition.

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) at least one redox agent; 2) at least one chelating agent, the chelating agent being a polyaminopolycarboxylic acid; 3) at least one corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion inhibitor being a substituted or unsubstituted benzotriazole; 4) at least one sulfonic acid; and 5) water.

The present invention is directed to compositions, methods and systems for the removal of starch. The methods include: providing cleaning solution and rinsing fluid along supply line(s); connecting the supply line(s) to one or more cleaning applicators positioned to apply the cleaning solution or the rinsing fluid to one or more surfaces of a starch applicator system; and providing a controller which is able to control application of the cleaning solution and the rinsing fluid through the one or more cleaning applicators. The systems include the components described in relation to the methods. The compositions include about 5 to 15% w/w alpha amylase to break down the starch into water-soluble units; and non-ionic surfactant(s) and/or solvent(s) to react at the interface of the starch and surface it is attached to as well as liquefy the resins.

A cleaning liquid containing at least one surfactant (A) selected from the group consisting of a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether phosphoric acid, a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether acetic acid and a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether sulfonic acid and a chelating agent (C), which has a pH of 8 or more, and a cleaning liquid containing an oxidizing agent (B) and a chelating agent (C), which has a pH of 8 or more.

The present disclosure relates to contact lens solution comprising cyclodextrin, ophthalmic solutions comprising cy-clodextrin for treating disorders or conditions associated with wearing of contact lenses, methods of treating such disorders or conditions using the ophthalmic cyclodextrin solutions, and kits and combination products thereof.

The invention is in the field of hard surface cleaning compositions. There is need for compositions that foam copiously during the washing/cleaning stage. However, during the rinse stage, the foam should rinse-off as quickly as possible in minimum number of rinses-cycles so that the process becomes sustainable. Disclosed is an aqueous cleaning composition, having a pH of 6.5 or lower, comprising (i) 3.0 to 25.0% by weight alkyl ethoxy sulphate; (ii) 1.0 to 5.0% by weight amphoteric surfactant; (iii) 0.1 to 1.0% by weight fatty acids being saturated non-hydroxy C.sub.8-12 fatty acid and a saturated non-hydroxy C.sub.14-18 fatty acid, where ratio of amount of said C.sub.8-12 fatty acid to that of said C.sub.14-18 fatty acid is from 1:0.1 to 1:10 parts by weight; and (iv) 0.5 to 5% by weight non-ionic surfactant, wherein (iii) and (iv) together an antifoaming system, and wherein amount of non-alkoxylated anionic surfactant in said composition in less than 1.0% by weight.

A sporicidal composition has a moderately low pH and includes a glycosidase and the dissocia-tion product of at least one inorganic oxidizing agent. High effective solute concentrations can enhance the efficacy of the composition. The composition can be applied to a surface and allowed to absorb into an endospore, ultimately killing at least some of those bacteria in mature endospore form. Surfaces to be treated include inanimate (hard) surfaces via cleaning and medical devices such as endoscopes, typically via immersion.
