This invention relates to improved powder cleaning compositions and methods for cleaning textile substrates, especially carpet and upholstery fabrics. More particularly, this invention relates to powder cleaning compositions that contain absorbent particulate materials in a flowable form, which dries to a soil ladened powder, that can be removed by vacuum, brushing, and/or laundering methods. The improvement lies in the ability of the composition to remain a flowable powder, while containing a higher water content than previous powder cleaning compositions. The composition comprises an absorbent particulate material, a super absorbent polymer, and other ingredients.

Powder cleaning composition

This invention relates to new compositions and methods for cleaning textile substrates, especially carpet and upholstery fabrics. More particularly, this invention relates to liquid compositions that contain absorbent particles in a flowable fluid dispersion, which dries to a soil ladened powder, that can be removed by vacuuming, brushing, and/or laundering methods. The composition includes dispersion stabilizing additives such that the composition is presented as a stable dispersion or as a composition that may be easily redispersed prior to application.

Compositions and methods for cleaning textile substrates

An aqueous ink composition is provided having an aqueous solvent, a poly(oxyalkylene) substituted organic colorant dissolved in the solvent and a film forming, acrylic polymer or copolymer binder.

Aqueous ink composition

An aqueous composition of a poly(oxyalkylene) substituted chromogen, containing up to 30 wt. % water, is packaged in a water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) film.

Aqueous colorant composition in water-soluble package

An improved coated seed is provided by incorporating a poly(oxyalkylene) substituted organic chromophore in the coating.

Coated seed having improved colorant

A color-stable antifreeze composition containing a polyhydric alcohol, a corrosion inhibitor and a poly(oxyalkylene)-substituted colorant having the structure ABXYZ, where A is an organic chromophore; B is an electrophilic reactive group covalently bonded to A directly or through a linking group; X is a nucleophilic linking group covalently bonding B and Y; Y is a poly(oxyalkylene)-containing moiety; and Z is a terminal group for Y.

Antifreeze composition containing poly (oxyalkylene) -substituted

An antifreeze composition is provided having a polyhydric alcohol, a corrosion inhibitor and a colorant of the formula: ##STR1## wherein m and n are independently selected from 0, 1, 2 or 3; M is cation; A is SO.sub.3 M or SO.sub.2 R.sup.3, where R.sup.3 is alkylene-SO.sub.3 M; R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, C.sub.1-8 alkoxy, C.sub.1-8 alkyl, amino, sulfoxy, carboxy and R.sup.2 ; and R.sup.2 is NHR.sup.4, where R.sup.4 is triazine or triazine substituted with aminophenylsulfonate, chloro, dichloro, fluoro, or R.sup.2 is CO.sub.2 M.
