A device for cleaning a dental appliance is disclosed. The device includes a holding container including an upper portion and a lower portion, the holding container adapted to receive at least one dental appliance; an electrolytic cell for generating chlorine dioxide from a chlorine dioxide precursor; and an electrical current supply including a circuit operably connecting the electrical current supply to the electrolytic cell.

Device and method for cleaning dental appliances

Liquid cleaning compositions are described herein that include a metal bleach catalyst which is a complex of a transition-metal and a macrocyclic ligand, the ligand having a calculated Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient value of from about &#x2212;1.50 to about &#x2212;0.10, a formulation enabling fraction comprising at least one formulation enabling ingredient, the formulation enabling fraction having a Hydrophilic Index of from about 4.0 to about 10.0, and a formulation deactivating fraction comprising at least one formulation deactivating ingredient that has a calculated Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient value of from about &#x2212;3.5 to about &#x2212;0.10.

Liquid cleaning compositions

A method for killing microorganisms in water, by passing an aqueous feed solution comprising of water containing some form of halide salt into a non-membrane electrolysis cell comprising an anode and a cathode, adjacent to the anode, while flowing electrical current between the anode and the cathode to electrolyze the aqueous feed solution and convert the halide salt to anti-microbial mixed oxidants.

Apparatus for electrolyzing an electrolytic solution

Fluid detergent compositions comprising from about 0.01% to about 1% by weight of an external structurant comprising dibenzylidene sorbitol acetal derivatives for providing desired rheological benefits such as product thickening, shear thinning behavior, as well as particle suspension capabilities.

Structured fluid detergent compositions comprising dibenzylidene sorbitol acetal derivatives

Fluid detergent compositions comprising an external structurant comprising dibenzylidene polyol acetal derivatives for providing desired rheological benefits such as product thickening, shear thinning behavior, as well as particle suspension capabilities, and a detersive enzyme such as lipase.

Structured fluid detergent compositions comprising dibenzylidene polyol acetal derivatives and detersive enzymes

The present invention relates to automatic dishwashing detergent compositions and methods of using compositions comprising halogenated salts, phosphate and/or silicate in conjunction with electrolyzed water in automatic dishwashing appliances comprising an electrochemical cell and/or electrolytic device for treating tableware to improve cleaning, sanitizing and stain removal by controlling hardness, corrosion and dispersancy.

Automatic dishwashing compositions and methods for use with electrochemical cells and/or electrolytic devices

An automatic dishwashing appliance comprising an unattached electrolytic device which comprises an unattached electrochemical cell capable of generating electrolyzed water in the wash and/or rinse cycle, and more particularly to the unattached electrolytic device itself, methods of use, and articles of manufacture.

Self-contained, self-powered electrolytic devices for improved performance in automatic dishwashing

A method for making chlorine dioxide, by passing an aqueous feed solution comprising sodium chlorite into a non-membrane electrolysis cell comprising an anode and a cathode, adjacent to the anode, while flowing electrical current between the anode and the cathode to electrolyze the aqueous feed solution and convert the halogen dioxide salt to halogen dioxide. The anode is preferably a porous anode through which the aqueous feed solution passes to maximize the conversion of chlorite to chlorine dioxide.

Disclosed is a filter comprised of activated carbon fibers, wherein said filter has a Virus Removal Index (hereafter 'VRI') of at least about 99%, as measured in accordance with the test method described in the specification. The filter may comprise unbound fibers, or the fibers may be bound with a binder to form a composite of fibers. Also disclosed is a method of removing viruses from a liquid, the method comprising contacting the liquid with a filter comprising activated carbon fibers wherein said filter has a VRI of at least about 99%. Also described is an article of manufacture comprising: (a) a filter comprising activated carbon fibers, wherein said filter has a VRI of at least about 99%; and (b) instructions which inform a user that the filter may be used to remove viruses from a liquid.

Carbon fiber filters

A process for forming an activated carbon fiber filter for removing viruses from liquids is provided. The process includes selecting a plurality of activated carbon fibers, placing the activated carbon fibers in a hollow form open at least one end, and applying a predetermined compressive force to the fibers along the axis through the hollow form parallel to the direction in which the liquid will pass until the fibers are densely and uniformly packed within the form.

Filters for removal of pathogens from liquids

Disclosed is a method of removing hormone(s) from a liquid, the method comprising contacting the liquid with a filter comprising activated carbon fibers. Also disclosed is an article of manufacture comprising (i) a filter comprising activated carbon fibers and (ii) instructions informing a user that the filter is capable of removing hormone(s) from I.

Removal of hormones from liquids

The present invention relates to topical compositions for effecting an immediate improvement in the appearance and feel of skin, in addition to providing chronic improvements in skin appearance. The compositions comprise from 0.5% to 25% of a first particulate material having a refractive index of from 1.3 to 1.7, the particulate material being dispersed in the composition and having a median particle size of from 2 to 30 um, and an active effective for chronically regulating skin condition selected from Vitamin B3 compounds, retinoids, and mixtures thereof. Preferred emobodiments are oil in water emulsions further comprising a second particulate material having a larger particle size than the first.
