The disclosure provides cleaning compositions including at least one acid, at least one carbonate salt, at least one gum, at least one acid salt, and, optionally, at least one chelating agent. When exposed to an aqueous medium, the cleaning compositions may produce carbon dioxide. These cleaning compositions find use, for example, in cleaning textile fibers, such as carpets, drapery, upholstery, and the like. The disclosure provides methods of cleaning soiled textile fibers with a cleaning composition including gum arabic, at least one acid, and at least one carbonate salt.

Cleaning compositions that include a nuclease enzyme and tannins. Methods of making and using such cleaning compositions. Use of tannins.

A composition may be or include detergents, cleaning agents, and cosmetic agents and include an emulsifier and biodegradable microcapsules. The biodegradable microcapsules may include a core material and a shell where the shell consists of at least one barrier layer and a stability layer. The barrier layer may surround the core material. The stability layer may include at least one biopolymer and be arranged on the outer surface of the barrier layer(s).

A method is provided for removing a volatile organic compound (VOC) contained in an artificial leather fabric and odor caused by the volatile organic compound by coating the artificial leather fabric with an adsorbent which reacts with a noxious substance containing the volatile organic compound (VOC); and immersing; washing; and drying the reacted artificial leather fabric. The method includes coating the adsorbent and immobilizing the volatile organic compound through a reaction, to prevent volatilization of the organic compound or reduce an amount thereof. Further, after the reaction between the artificial leather fabric and the adsorbent, the artificial leather fabric is washed, to remove the volatile organic compound immobilized on a surface of the fabric from the artificial leather.
