A dissolvable toilet cleaning solid tablet includes an anionic surfactant; virgin soap pellets; and borax, and desirably, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt; and an acid. The borax comprises about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the composition, and the virgin soap pellets comprise about 12% to about 25% by weight of the composition.

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 system and method for a metal sequestration composition comprising combining a galactaric salt or galactaric acid with a metalloid oxyanion, and an alkali compound. The system and method enable the production of a metal sequestration composition that either alone or in combination with other functional components (e.g. surfactants, solvents, pH modifiers) provide water treatment or cleaning compositions.

Solid cleansing compositions and methods for the same are disclosed herein. The solid cleansing composition may include a cleansing component and one or more whitening agents. The one or more whitening agents may include one or more of a metal oxide, a clay, a coloring agent, or combinations thereof. The solid cleansing composition may have a whiteness, as measured via a Hunter Whiteness Index (L) of from about 60 to about 90.

A cleaning composition is provided herein. The cleaning composition includes a plurality of metal particles and a base fluid. The plurality of metal particles have an average size in a range of from about 1 nanometer (nm) to about 10,000 micrometers (μm), and are dispersed in the base fluid. The cleaning composition is configured to generate an exothermic reaction when contacted with one or more components on a surface and water to facilitate removal of the one or more components from the surface. Methods of making and utilizing the cleaning composition are also provided.

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.

Consumer and industrial 2-in-1 alkaline ware washing compositions providing both detergency and rinseability in a single cleaning composition are disclosed. Further benefits can be achieved with low levels of rinse aid surfactants in a rinse additive following the alkaline ware washing composition, including levels of rinse additive surfactant of about 500 ppm surfactant or less. Alkaline ware washing compositions and methods of using the same provide user-friendly, solid, ware washing compositions without the need for using a separate rinse aid composition.

A vehicle-cleaning system and method of cleaning a vehicle are provided, the system comprises a cleaning agent dispenser configured to administer a cleaning agent to a surface of a vehicle for cleaning, wherein the cleaning agent preferably comprises one or more nanoparticulate metal oxide. In one embodiment, the system comprises a chemical agent dispenser configured to separately administer a chemical agent to the surface of a vehicle to react with said cleaning agent to form a resultant foam. The system further comprises an electromagnetic wave emitting system for providing wavelength in a range of about 200 nm to about 380 nm to activate the nanoparticulate metal oxide.

The disclosure relates to the use of inorganic oxides, hydroxides or oxyhydroxides in enzyme-containing detergents or cleaning agents in order to increase enzyme stability as well as to an enzyme-containing detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a liquid detergent or cleaning agent having greater enzyme stability.

The use of a gel consisting of a colloidal solution comprising, preferably consisting of: 5% to 30% by weight, preferably 5% to 25% by weight, more preferably 8% to 20% by weight relative to the weight of the gel, of at least one inorganic viscosifying agent; a mineral base selected from among hydroxides of alkaline metals, hydroxides of alkaline-earth metals and the mixtures thereof, said mineral base being present in a proportion of 0.05 to 10 mol/L of gel, preferably in a proportion of 0.1 to 5 mol/L of gel; an oxidizing agent stable in a basic medium selected from among permanganates, persulfates, ozone, hypochlorites and the mixtures thereof, said oxidizing agent stable in a basic medium being present in a proportion of 0.05 to 5 mol/L of gel, preferably 0.1 to 2 mol/L of gel; 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the weight of the gel, of at least one surfactant; and a solvent; the gel not containing any super-absorbent polymer, to remove a biofilm present on a surface of a solid substrate.
