Disclosed are detergent compositions for hand dishwashing which, by incorporating certain organic solvents, results in a liquid dishwashing detergent composition that is not only a more effective cleaning agent, but also offers improved physical and enzymatic stability and more convenient rheology and handling characteristics than typical liquid dishwashing compositions.

Diols and polymeric glycols for improved dishwashing detergent compositions

Disclosed are detergent compositions comprising organic diamines, anionic surfacants and amphoteric surfactants including amine oxide for hand dishwashing which, by incorporating certain organic solvents, results in a liquid dishwashing detergent composition that is not only a more effective cleaning agent, but also offers improved physical and enzymatic stability and more convenient rheology and handling characteristics than typical liquid dishwashing compositions.

Cleaning composition

A method by which medical equipment, such as surgical scalpels, can be sanitized using a detergent or treating composition containing a surfactant and a solvent such as water is disclosed. The method involves taking the used medical equipment and contacting it with the treating composition, and subjecting both the equipment and composition to microwaves. The composition foams during microwaving and/or immerses the equipment such that microwave arcing is avoided, and such that the medical equipment is sanitized.

Method for sanitizing medical equipment using microwaves

The present invention relates to liquid or gel detergents which provide enhanced cleaning, especially improved stain removal and tough food particle removal on plastics, fabrics, and other substrates. These cleaning compositions comprise a diacyl peroxide bleaching agent.

Sprayable, liquid or gel detergent compositions containing bleach

A method by which dental equipment, such as dental scalers, can be sanitized using a detergent or treating composition containing a surfactant and a solvent such as water is disclosed. The method involves taking the used dental equipment and contacting it with the treating composition, and subjecting both the equipment and composition to microwaves. The composition foams during microwaving and/or immerses the equipment such that microwave arcing is avoided, and such that the dental equipment is sanitized.

Method for sanitizing dental equipment using microwaves

A method for removing stains or odors and for disinfecting plastics, dishware, countertops, appliances, and other substrates by activating a bleaching composition with microwaves and applying the activated composition to the substrate to be cleaned, deodorized, and/or sanitized is presented. This method provides enhanced cleaning and improved stain removal as compared to the conventional use of cleaning compositions applied directly to a substrate.

Method for activation of bleaches

The present invention is in the field of liquid or gel detergents. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for removing stains and/or odors and for disinfecting plastics, and other substrates by applying a liquid or gel detergent composition to the substrate and subjecting the substrate to microwaves. This method provides enhanced cleaning and improved stain removal on plastics, and other substrates. These cleaning compositions include a bleaching agent, preferably diacyl peroxide in a liquid or gel detergent formulation. These compositions in combination with the method of microwaving are also very effective in disinfecting and deodorizing substrates.

Method for stain removal on hard surfaces with detergent compositions containing bleach

The present invention is in the field of liquid or gel detergents. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for removing stains and/or odors and for disinfecting fabrics by applying a liquid or gel detergent composition to the fabric and subjecting the fabric to microwaves. This method provides enhanced cleaning and improved stain removal. These cleaning compositions comprise a bleaching agent, preferably diacyl peroxide in a liquid or gel detergent formulation. These compositions in combination with the method of microwaving are also very effective in disinfecting and deodorizing fabrics.
