Polymer compositions and articles incorporating them are provided that possess antimicrobial activity, preferably in both the light and the dark. Such compositions include one or more polymers and one or more photosensitizers.

Antimicrobial composition containing photosensitizers articles, and methods of use

A surface treating composition especially suited for cleaning and treating stainless steel comprising an aqueous emulsion of white mineral oil. An aerosol composition is also provided by the addition of a suitable amount of liquified normally gaseous propellant material.

Treating composition containing white oil

A heavy-duty cleaning composition, especially suited for removing soil from baseboards, ceramic tile and walls and other hard-to-get-at areas and for removing wax or finish coatings from floors, baseboards and corners, contains (1) an aqueous solvent system including a water-soluble monobutyl glycol ether organic solvent and (2) a primary amine. Preferably, the composition also contains a water-soluble compatible thickening agent, sufficient compatible surfactant to enhance wetting the surface being cleaned and sufficient compatible water-soluble film-forming resin to inhibit rapid evaporation of the organic solvent and the amine.
