The present invention relates to a deodorising composition containing: (a) 1,8-para-menthenethiol, (b) 3-mercaptohexyl acetate and (c) undecylenic acid or a derivative thereof. It also relates to the use of said composition for eliminating bad odours, and to a deodorant product in the form of an aerosol, a candle or a perfume diffuser that has a wick or a stick or is electric, or an article consisting of a solid polymeric material, in particular a silicone elastomer, containing the aforementioned composition.

A cleaning composition including from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the composition of a hydrogen peroxide source; from 1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a bleach activator; from about 1×10.sup.2 to about 1×10.sup.11 CFU/g of bacterial spores; and wherein the composition has a pH of from 9.5 to 11.5 as measured in 1% weight/volume aqueous solution in distilled water at 20° C.

Summary

The present invention relates to specific polyesters which are particularly suitable for use in fabric treatment applications, such as in fabric care and laundry detergent products. In such applications, the polyesters exhibit improved freshness performance, and especially good anti-malodor performance.

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesireable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduely altered by the malodor control technology.

A process for making a particle, the particle includes: a) a nitrogen-containing cleaning-active in the form of a salt wherein the salt has a pH in 1% weight aqueous solution measured at 25° C. greater than 9; and b) a malodour-reducing agent including an acid group wherein the process includes the step of adding the malodour-reducing agent to the nitrogen-containing cleaning-active wherein the malodour-reducing agent is added in the absence of water.

A method of eliminating odor by utilizing a tablet that is formed from sodium carbonate, sodium percarbonate, polyethylene glycol, and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The tablet is dissolved within water in order to form a scent neutralizing solution and then applied to an individual's clothing to eliminate the scent of the individual for hunting purposes.

Dry mixtures and liquid formulations are provided that comprise metal oxide and/or metal hydroxide nanocrystalline particles. The dry mixtures are advantageously formulated with select surfactants to be readily solubilized and stable in liquid carriers. Additional select components are provided in preferred combinations that are capable of achieving improved biocidal and chemical agent efficacy. Notably, the inventive formulations provided herein allow for easier delivery of the formulations and increased shelf stability.

A method of depositing bacterial spores on a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric, includes contacting the fabric with an aqueous liquor comprising at least 1×10.sup.2 CFU/l of the aqueous liquor, of bacterial spores wherein the aqueous liquor is substantially free of fabric conditioning agent.

The present invention relates to the field of perfumery. More particularly, it concerns malodor masking compositions and/or ingredients, as well as method for counteracting or masking malodors and perfuming compositions having odor masking properties.

A fluid washing composition with four separate components and laundry washing kit thereof is disclosed. The four components are housed in respective independent tanks of a laundry washing machine equipped with a program for selecting, dosing and differentiated delivering. Component 1 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 4.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 40°-60° C., having a specific action on cotton fibers, particularly, whites. Component 2 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 8.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 15°-40° C., having a specific action on synthetic, colored and animal-origin fibers. Component 3 is an enzyme-based stain-removing formulation including protease and lipase and possibly amylase with a pH of 5.0-6.0, stabilized with sorbitol and calcium chloride. Component 4 is an after-wash conditioning formulation, with a pH of 2.0-4.0.
