A method of removing undesirable organic matter, such as food soil, paint, or the like, comprises contacting the organic matter with imidazole, pyrazole, an alkyl or aryl substituted imidazole, an alkyl or aryl substituted pyrazole, or a mixture of two or more thereof. Compositions containing these compounds as the active ingredient are also disclosed.

Compositions comprising imidazole, pyrazole or derivatives thereof for

Method for removal of undesirable organic matter

Method for removing undesirable organic matter from a surface which comprises applying to the undesirable organic matter an amount of (1) imidazole, pyrazole or an alkyl or aryl substituted imidazole or pyrazole, and (2) a phenyl glycol ether for a time sufficient to loosen the organic matter from the surface, and removing the loosened organic matter from the surface. Compositions containing the imidazole, pyrazole, substituted imidazole or substituted pyrazole and phenyl glycol ethers as the active ingredients are also within the scope of the invention.

Method and compositions for removal of undesirable organic matter

Soils containing free or combined organic acids are removed from surfaces, such as oven surfaces, by contacting the soil at a temperature of 250.degree.-550.degree. F. with a weakly alkaline composition comprising (A) at least one polyhydric alchol or a lower aliphatic ether or ester thereof having at least 2 free hydroxy groups, (B) 1.0 to 500% by weight of at least one alkali metal bicarbonate based on the weight of the polyhydric alcohol and (C) 5.0 to 1000% by weight of at least one alkali metal salt of a weak organic acid based on the weight of the polyhydric alcohol, and then removing soil residue.

Method for removing organic acid soil from surfaces

A weakly alkaline cleaning composition for the removal of soils containing free or combined organic acids comprising (A) at least one polyhydric alcohol or a lower aliphatic ether or ester thereof having at least 2 free hydroxy groups, (B) 1.0 to 500% by weight of at least one alkali metal bicarbonate based on the weight of the polyhydric alcohol and (C) 5.0 to 1000% by weight of at least one alkali metal salt of a weak organic acid based on the weight of the polyhydric alcohol and a method of removing soils containing free or combined organic acids from a surface.

Novel low temperature cleaner

Method for renewal of grout utilizing a composition comprising a surfactant a pigment and a water-soluble or water-dispersible organic binding agent and a method for renewing grout.

Method for renewing grout

A cleaning composition for the removal of soils containing free or combined organic acids comprising (A) at least 1% by weight of a substance selected from the group consisting of (1) at least one alkali metal salt of a weak organic acid, said salt melting at elevated temperatures, preferably below about 550.degree. F and said weak organic acid constituent part being volatile and/or decomposing at said elevated temperatures on contact with said soil or (2) mixtures of salts thereof, the mixtures having melting points lower than the cleaning temperature, preferably less than 550.degree. F; and (B) up to 99% by weight of a carrier. The novel method of cleaning soils containing free or combined organic acids comprises applying the said salt or salts of weak organic acid to said soil, heating the salt(s) and soil above the melting point of the said salt(s) and then removing the residue.

Novel cleaning method and compositions

A non-caustic drain cleaner which acts by generating heat at the site of the clogging comprising a mixture of peroxygen oxidizing agent and a water-soluble reducing agent and to a method of restoring normal flow to clogged drains.

Non-caustic drain cleaner

Compositions for tile and grout cleaning and renewal of grout comprising an aqueous dispersion of a sequestering agent, a surfactant, a pigment and a water-soluble or water-dispersible organic binding agent and a method for simultaneously cleaning and renewing tile and grout.

Tile and grout cleaner and restorer

A cleaning composition in dry powder form comprising a water-soluble alkaline detergent, a water-immiscible organic liquid absorbed on said water-soluble alkaline detergent, and an emulsifying agent of such properties and in such amount that when the cleaning composition is dispersed in water, the emulsion which is formed is in an unstable condition and breaks within one hour, releasing droplets of the organic liquid, wherein the quantity of the water-soluble alkaline detergent is sufficient to absorb the organic liquid and form a free-flowing dry powder.
