Concentrated mildly acidic hard surface cleaning compositions having a superior combination of cleaning and disinfecting comprise, by weight of concentrated composition: from about 0.5 to about 40% amine oxide detergent; from about 0 to about 4% nitrogen-containing chelant; and from about 1 to about 30% quaternary disinfectant. When the concentrated composition is diluted to form a diluted composition having a concentration of amine oxide of 0.5%, at least 10% of the amine oxide detergent within...

Laundry treatment compositions, especially detergent compositions or rinse conditioners, which deposit cellulosic polymers or related polysaccharide fabric rebuild agents onto textile fabrics are described. Such agents are used for laundering cellulosic fabrics such as cotton, to compensate for gradual loss of fibrous material on repeated washing. Preferred rebuild agents are cellulose monoacetate, cellulose hemisuccinate and other cellulose esters.

The present invention provides refrigerant blends which are replacements for chlorodifluoromethane(HCFC-22). The present blends have refrigeration characteristics which are similar to HCFC-22. The blends comprise from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of a first component selected from the group consisting of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, difluoromethane, propane, and mixtures thereof; from about 1 to about 50 weight percent of a second component selected from the group consisting of hydrofluorocarbo...

The present invention relates to novel refrigerant mixtures as a substitute for chlorodifluoromethane (CHClF.sub.2, HCFC-22). More specifically, the invention is directed to refrigerant mixtures that comprise: difluoromethane (CH.sub.2 F.sub.2, HFC-32) as the first component; pentafluoroethane (CHF.sub.2 CF.sub.3, HFC-125) as the second component; 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (CH.sub.2 FCF.sub.3, HFC-134a) as the third component; any one of cyclopropane (C.sub.3 H.sub.6, RC-270), 1,1-difluoroethane...

The present invention relates to a product of reaction between an amino functional polymer comprising at least one primary and/or secondary amine and one or more active ingredient. By the present invention, there is provided a release of the active component over a longer period of time than by the use of the active itself.

The invention provides a fabric softening composition comprising; (i) one or more cationic fabric softening compound(s) having two or more alkyl or alkenyl chains each having an average chain length equal to, or greater than, C.sub.8, and (iv) at least one oily sugar derivative which is a liquid or soft solid derivative of a cyclic polyol or of a reduced saccharide, said derivative resulting from 35 to 100% of the hydroxyl groups in said polyol or in said saccharide being esterified or etherifie...

There is provided a composition as well as a method for treating fabrics in order to improve various properties of fabrics, in particular, wrinkle resistance by means of a cross-linking resin having cationic properties.

A novel composition having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms and an aryl group, and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms and an aryl group. The composition is made by combining an amine compound, a carbonyl compound, a solvent, and a sulfur-containing compound. The composition is used as a detergent additive in cleaning process.

The present invention provides a composition that is suitable for lowering the alkalinity of a textile. The composition is also suitable for cleansing or treating a hard surface or a porous surface. The composition exhibits stability as a solution or as a dispersion at a temperature of about 0.degree. C. to about 8.degree. C. The composition includes a carrier, an acid, and a quaternary phosphonium compound, or a suitable salt or solvate thereof. The present invention also provides a method for ...

The present invention is generally directed to a softening composition that can be applied to a fibrous web, such as a tissue. In one embodiment, the softening composition contains up to about 40% by weight of a silicone polymer, up to about 20% by weight of a silicone polyether, up to about 20% by weight of a softness-enhancing agent; and up to about 40% by weight of a solvent. Other components, such as odor control agents, foaming aids, etc., can also be incorporated into the softening composi...
