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 washing agent portion unit including a) at least one first receiving chamber, b) at least one water-soluble film surrounding this first receiving chamber, and c) at least one first flowable washing agent preparation located in the first receiving chamber, which preparation contains, based on the total weight thereof, i) 40 to 80 wt. % surfactant; ii) 2 to 15 wt. % fatty acid; iii) 0.3 to 8 wt. % of salt of a divalent cation; iv) 8 to 35 wt. % solvent; d) at least one second receiving chamber which is surrounded by a water-soluble film and is filled with a second washing agent preparation which differs from the first flowable washing agent preparation, wherein the first receiving chamber and the second receiving chamber are directly adjacent to one another and separated from one another by a water-soluble film, and washing methods using these washing agent portion units.

Treatment compositions for use in laundry capable of providing sanitization through the wash e.g., for use with a detergent, where the compositions include an inorganic zinc salt potentiated by a phenolic solvent, to provide sanitization. The compositions can include an inorganic zinc salt, and a phenolic solvent, e.g., at an acidic pH (e.g., 2 to 5, or 3.5 to 4.5). The composition can include an anionic surfactant (e.g., alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, etc.) and/or a nonionic surfactant (e.g., an alkyl polyglucoside). The composition may be free of alkoxylated nonionic surfactants which are not stable in the present compositions, which have high ionic strength (e.g., due to ˜3% of the zinc salt included in the formula). The composition may be free of various other components that would not be stable in such high ionic strength conditions, or otherwise interfere with stability and efficacy of the sanitizing and/or disinfecting laundry composition.

The present invention generally relates to a system and process for producing a biosurfactant, and more particularly to a system and process for producing a biosurfactant from at least one strain of Bacillus subtilis, and formulations which comprise the biosurfactant.

Cleaning composition for hard surfaces are disclosed, particularly for cleaning hard surfaces stained with greasy burnt-on deposits such as frequently occur on stovetop and oven surfaces. Processes to manufacture the cleaning composition, as well as methods for their use are also disclosed.

Fabric treatment compositions that include a treatment adjunct material and certain phenol antioxidants. Process of treating fabrics that include at least one source of malodor by contacting the fabric with such fabric treatment compositions. Premix compositions that include certain phenol antioxidants, and methods of making treatment compositions that include such premixes.

Disclosed herein are methods for removing spores from skin, the method including dispensing an effective amount of a composition into or onto an article, wherein the composition includes water and from about 0.04 wt % to about 4 wt % polymeric cationic antimicrobial, nonionic antimicrobial or combinations thereof; contacting a skin surface with the composition; mechanically acting on the skin surface for at least one (1) second while the skin surface is in the presence of the composition; and removing at least a portion of the composition from the surface of the skin, wherein removing the composition also removes spores from the skin surface.

Cleaning compositions that include a nuclease enzyme and one or more malodor reduction materials. Methods of making and using such cleaning compositions. Use of malodor reduction materials.

The invention relates to a non-corrosive degreasing concentrate and ready to use formulation. In particular, non-corrosive compositions capable of removing polymerized grease as effectively as some alkali metal hydroxide (i.e. caustic) based degreasers without requiring the use of personal protective equipment are disclosed.

A composition comprising: (a) a leuco composition; and (b) a stabilizing amount of an antioxidant composition. The antioxidant composition comprises at least one sterically hindered phenol and at least one substituted diarylamine, and the mole ratio of the hindered phenol to the substituted diarylamine is greater than 1:1. In another embodiment, a composition comprises (a) a leuco composition and (b) an antioxidant composition; and optionally (c) a solvent composition. The combined mass of the leuco compounds and antioxidants present in the composition is 10% or more of the total mass of the composition, and (b) the molar ratio of antioxidants present in the composition to leuco compounds present in the composition is greater than 1:1.
