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 containing gum and methods of use therewith

A stain and odor treatment composition and method of use is provided. The composition is a powdered pre-application composition for treatment of odor and/or stains in textiles. The composition includes a powdered oxidizing agent, a powdered buffering agent, and an odor-modifying agent. In one embodiment the oxidizing agent may be at least 50 weight percent of the composition. In another embodiment the buffering agent may be between about 10 weight percent and about 30 weight percent of the composition. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a powdered buffering agent, combining an odor-modifying agent with the powdered buffering agent, and mixing the odor-modifying agent with the powdered buffering agent. The method of use may include the steps of combining the powdered pre-application composition with water, mixing the powdered pre-application composition with the water to form a cleaning solution, and applying the cleaning solution to a textile.

Stain and odor treatment

A method of manufacturing a stain and odor treatment composition is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a powdered buffering agent, combining an odor-modifying agent with the powdered buffering agent, and mixing the odor-modifying agent with the powdered buffering agent. The method also includes combining a powdered oxidizing agent with the powdered buffering agent and the odor-modifying agent, mixing the powdered oxidizing agent with the powdered buffering agent and the odor-modifying agent, and sealing the intermixed powdered buffering agent, the odor-modifying agent, and the powdered oxidizing agent in powdered form in a container substantially isolated from moisture.
