A cleaning system for cleaning high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry, which includes a washing agent and a protective agent. The washing agent is configured to remove unwanted matter from the high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry. The protective agent is configured to create a bonded barrier comprising organosilane antimicrobial(s) on the high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry for protection against odors from bacteria, mold and mildew and/or the like. The washing agent and the protective agent are configured to be used in a two-step water-based treatment process in which the washing agent is provided in a given first step of the treatment process and the protective agent is provided in a given subsequent second step of the treatment process.

Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for producing broad spectrum disinfectants, sanitizers, cleaner and deodorizers using chlorine dioxide compositions, and more particularly, to methods for producing chlorine dioxide compositions having improved long term stability by the proper choice of pH and through the careful choice of other product formula ingredients.

This invention relates to odor control molecules comprised of polyethyleneimine compounds containing N-halamine and derivatives thereof.

A method of treating a fabric in a washing machine using a cold and/or a quick program, including contacting the fabric with a treatment liquor comprising at least 1x10.sup.2 CFU/1 of liquor, of bacterial spores wherein the cold program includes a wash having a bath temperature below 30° C. and/or the quick program lasts less than 40 minutes.

Enzymes are disclosed that have anti-pilling properties and may be used in washing or cleaning agents. A washing or cleaning agent, in particular a liquid detergent, may include a cutinase. A method for cleaning textiles using such a washing or cleaning agent may be useful for removal of soiling, for reducing the pilling effects on textiles, for improving the anti-greying effects, for improving the cleaning performance of such a washing or cleaning agent, and combinations thereof. The cutinase may have at least 65% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 over the entire length thereof and have at least one or more amino acid substitutions at positions 61, 63, 66, 89, 90, 92, 155, 177, 208 and 211.

A method of treating a surface including treating the surface with bacterial spores and Saccharomyces supernatant.

A foaming composition containing a foaming agent that is made up of at least one acid and at least one base. The base and the acid being able to react in the presence of water, producing carbon dioxide. The composition also contains an anionic surfactant. The composition is in the form of a loose powder and in that it contains a mass percentage of the surfactant that is greater than or equal to 3% and is less than or equal to 4%. In particular, the mass percentage of the surfactant is less than 3.5%, and/or a mass percentage of the acid and base mixture is greater than or equal to 90%. The composition allows a foam to be obtained that allows excrement to be hidden, and splashes, rising odors and falling noises to be avoided.

The present invention relates to new classes of odorous tetrahydropyran-4-ol derivatives of formula X and/or alkene derivatives thereof of formula Y1 and Y2 which are useful as fragrance or flavor materials in particular in providing camphoraceous, woody, earthy, and/or patchouli-like notes to perfume, aroma or deodorizing/masking compositions. The present invention also relates to fragrance, flavor and/or deodorizing/masking compositions comprising said new classes of odorous tetrahydropyran-4-ol derivatives and/or alkene derivatives thereof.

##STR00001##

Disclosed herein are phenolic compositions and laundry care compositions comprising such phenolic compositions. The laundry care compositions may reduce malodor of fabrics or articles laundered with the same.

The present invention concerns a detergent composition comprising one or more anionic surfactants; an enzyme selected from the group consisting of: a protease, a lipase, a cutinase, an amylase, a carbohydrase, a cellulase, a pectinase, a mannanase, an arabinase, a galactanase, a xylanase, and an oxidase; and a deoxyribonuclease (DNase).
