There is provided a toothbrush where the dose of dentifrice used is controlled by the use of bristles of at least two different colors. When the bristles of one color are covered with a dentifrice the dose will be within guidelines. In addition, the dentifrice and bristles of one of the colors can be the same to aid in controlling the dose of dentifrice. This will in turn limit the dose of fluoride and other components of a dentifrice.

Method for controlling dentifrice usage

Coded toothbrush

An aqueous liquid detergent composition is provided for cleaning a hard surface and for repelling insects therefrom comprising a detersive proportion of a surface active detergent compound, an effective amount of an insect repellent material which is sufficient to repel insect from the hard surface after application of the detergent composition thereto, the liquid detergent composition being substantially free of a liquid hydrocarbon.

Liquid household cleaning composition with insect repellent

An aqueous liquid detergent composition is provided for cleaning a hard surface and for repelling insects therefrom comprising a detersive proportion of a surface active detergent compound, an effective amount of at least one of certain defined insect repellent materials which is sufficient to repel insect from the hard surface after application of the detergent composition thereto, the liquid detergent composition being substantially free of a liquid hydrocarbon.

A dentrifrice cream composition and the process for its preparation is disclosed. The dentrifrice has an RDA value less than 150 which provides a crunchy prophy mouthfeel to the user during toothbrushing. The dentifrice comprises a vehicle having dispersed therein a siliceous polishing agent having a particle size distribution of about 1 to about 100 microns wherein (1) more than 25% of the particles have a size greater than about 40 microns and (2) at least about 10% of the particles of (1) have a particle size greater than about 60 microns and at least about 5% of the particles have a particle size greater than about 80 microns. In the preparation of the dentifrice, the dispersion of the silica particles in the dentifrice is accomplished under low shear conditions.

Prophy mouthfeel dentifrice having low RDA value

An improved germicidal hard surface cleaning composition containing a quaternary ammonium germicide, detergent, builder salts and a binary solvent system comprising a saturated terpene hydrocarbon and a non-aqueous polar solvent is described. The binary system provides improved cleaning action for removal of greasy soil from porous and non-porous hard surfaces and does not interfere with the germicidal activity of the quaternary ammonium salt.

Germicidal hard surface cleaning composition

A hard surface cleaning composition containing a binary solvent system comprising a saturated terpene hydrocarbon and a non-aqueous polar solvent in combination with surfactants and builder salts. The binary system provides synergistic cleaning action for removal of greasy soil from porous and non-porous hard surfaces.

Hard surface cleaning compositions containing pianane

Dentifrice containing phosphate ion and flavoring oil and 1,6-di-(p-chlorophenyl biguanidohexane) and water soluble alkaline earth metal salt of a strong acid to stabilize the dentifrice against separation. Calcium and magnesium chlorides are typical stabilizers.

Stable dentifrice

Liquid scouring compositions possessing enhanced cleaning properties and reduced abrasion characteristics containing as the essential cleaning agent the abrasive calcium metasilicate, stably suspended in an aqueous vehicle.

Liquid scouring cream containing calcium metasilicate

Toothpastes having cosmetic and enzymatic stability containing a neutral protease of B. subtilis, a partially hydrolyzed protein, and a Group IIA metal ion.

Stabilized toothpastes containing an enzyme

Visually clear dentifrice comprising a water-insoluble aluminosilicate sodium salt complex in which the proportion of alumina is up to 3.3% by weight and in which the mole ratio of silica to alumina is at least about 45:1, as a polishing agent having a refractive index of about 1.44-1.47 and a gel vehicle for said polishing agent having about the same refractive index as said polishing agent, said polishing agent being substantially invisible in said gel vehicle.

Clear dentifrice

A dental cream comprising a dental vehicle a small portion of flat flakes of alpha-alumina and a small proportion of iridescent flakes. The vehicle preferably has dispersed therein amorphous silica or aluminosilicate as a dental abrasive.

Dental polishing creams

A dentifrice containing small proportions of mother of pearl flakes or other iridescent flakes.
