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.

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.

An article for cleaning or hand-washing an object includes a core substrate comprising a plurality of fibers including a resin. The core substrate has one or more abrasive surfaces and contains an active cleaning formulation. The resin and the core substrate are water-dispersible upon contact with water at a low temperature, such as 40° C. or below, and water-soluble upon contact with water at a higher temperature. Also disclosed are methods for making the article.

In one embodiment, a water in oil cleaning composition is disclosed that may include at least one solvent, in an amount of from about 1-90% (w/w) of the composition, at least one surfactant in an amount of from about 0.1-20% (w/w) of the composition, 3M KOH/de-ionized water, in an amount of from about 1-4% (w/w of the composition, rheological agents, in an amount of from about 0.1-8% (w/w) of the composition, and emulsifiers, in an amount of from about 0.5-20% (w/w) of the composition. Optionally, the composition may include antimicrobials in an effective amount, and may be present in an amount of from about 1-4% (w/w) of the composition, fragrants and colorants as desired.
