Certain booster compositions and methods of using the booster compositions to clean fermentation equipment are disclosed. The booster compositions are useful in environments with variable, changing, unstable, or limited alkalinity sources found within fermentation equipment.

Cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes that include a dispersin and a carbohydrase. Said compositions may be used in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic stains.

The disclosure provides compositions and methods for making a colorized solution of an aqueous disinfectant that is both stable in bulk solution and will fade to clear within a predetermined period of time after being applied to a surface, for example as a spray or film. The compositions and methods described here allow an end user to visualize both the extent of coverage and the duration of contact of the disinfectant with the surface, thereby providing more efficient disinfection of the surface.

The invention relates to an aqueous foaming cleaning composition for removing soil at low temperatures from a surface to be cleaned, characterized in, that the aqueous foaming cleaning composition comprises: a linear and/or branched C.sub.12-alkyl dimethylamine oxide or C.sub.12-alkyl diethylamine oxide or C.sub.12-alkyl methylethylamine oxide; a linear and/or branched C.sub.14-alkyl dimethylamine oxide or C.sub.14-alkyl diethylamine oxide or C.sub.14-alkyl methylethylamine oxide; at least one anion tenside of: a dodecyl (oxyethylen)w sulfat, wherein w represents an average addition mole number ranging from about 1 to about 10, and/or at least one polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether carboxylic acid or salt thereof represented by formula (I): RO-(AO).sub.n-1-A′-COO.sub.mM (I) wherein, R represents a linear and/or branched alkyl group having about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms; AO represents an alkylene oxy group having about 2 to about 4 carbon atoms; n represents an average addition mole number ranging from about 1 to about 20; A′ represents an alkylene group having about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; M represents H or a cation; and m represents the number equal to a valence number of M; —a source of alkalinity; and —water.

Provided are compositions useful for cleaning, such as warewashing. The compositions comprise (a) a polymer comprising polymerized units of (i) an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer or salt thereof, (ii) an ethylenically unsaturated sulfonic acid monomer or salt thereof, and optionally (iii) one or more further monomers or salt thereof, the polymer having a Mw from 2000 to 100,000; (b) a water soluble silicate; (c) an alkaline source; and (d) optionally a surfactant.

A composition for cleaning hard surfaces includes from 3 to 20 wt-% dicarboxylic acid; from 3 to 25 wt-% surfactant; from 0 to 20 wt-% solvent; and water, and has a pH from 9 to 12.5. A ready-to-use solution of the composition includes from 0.1 to 5 wt-% dicarboxylic acid; from 0.1 to 5 wt-% surfactant; from 0 to 5 wt-% solvent; and water, and has a pH from 9 to 12.5. The composition is safe for use with calcite stone surfaces. A method of cleaning calcite stone surfaces comprises a use solution of the composition to the calcite stone surface, and rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing the surface. Another method of cleaning calcite stone surfaces comprises preparing a use solution by diluting the composition with water, applying the use solution to the calcite stone surface, and rinsing, wiping, or scrubbing the surface.

A new composition and method for cleaning hair grooming implements is provided. The composition comprises about 1.1% Sodium Hypochlorite, about 2.5% Sodium Hydroxide, about 0.5% Lithium Perchlorate and about 95.9% water. A concentrated version of the solution may be formed and later diluted for use. The addition of surfactant to the solution increases stability and efficiency.
