Systems, devices, methods, and compositions that improve the scent perception for a user. Improved scent perception is achieved by presenting alternating scents and by varying levels of output of scents, as well as by minimizing device clogging, thereby improving evaporation profiles.

Methods, devices, compositions and systems for improved scent delivery

A stable composition for removing unwanted molecules from a surface comprises functionally-available cyclodextrin, cyclodextrin-compatible surfactant, and cyclodextrin-incompatible surfactant. The compositions are suitable for capturing unwanted molecules from inanimate surfaces, including fabrics, including carpets, and hard surfaces including countertops, dishes, floors, garbage cans, ceilings, walls, carpet padding, air filters, and the like, and from animate surfaces, including skin, hair, and the like. The compositions can further comprise other cyclodextrin-compatible and -incompatible materials and other optional ingredients.

Methods, devices, compositions, and systems for improved scent delivery

A stable composition for removing unwanted molecules from a surface comprises low-degree of substitution cyclodextrin derivatives. The compositions are suitable for capturing unwanted molecules from inanimate surfaces, including fabrics, including carpets, and household surfaces such as countertops, dishes, floors, garbage cans, ceilings, walls, carpet padding, air filters, and the like, and from animate surfaces, including skin, hair, and the like. The compositions can further comprise cyclodextrin-compatible and -incompatible materials, and other optional ingredients.

A method of deodorizing and/or reducing malodor in carpet comprises the step of contacting the carpet with a deodorizing composition comprising an effective amount of odor control agent. In a preferred embodiment, the deodorizing composition is a concentrated composition and the method comprises diluting the concentrated deodorizing composition to form a diluted deodorizing composition and using the diluted deodorizing composition in combination with a carpet extractor to deodorize the carpet. An article of manufacture for deodorizing carpet comprises a container, a deodorizing composition in the container, and a set of instructions in association with the container to communicate the benefits of the present methods and the uses of the present compositions.

Method of deodorizing and/or cleaning carpet using a composition comprising odor control agent

Bottle aqueous household cleaning, fabric treatment and deodorizing compositions comprising surfactant, and a perfume which contains a substantial proportion of hydrophobic perfume ingredients having a ClogP of greater than 3. The bottles are made of high density polyethylene wherein the bottles have a continuous inner surface layer of nylon, polyetheneterephthalate or fluorinated polyethylene in order to prevent migration into and/or transmission through the high density polyethylene of the hydrophobic perfume ingredients.

A process of manufacturing a composition suitable for capturing unwanted molecules comprising the steps of: (a) providing cyclodextrin, a cyclodextrin-compatible material, and a cyclodextrin-incompatible material; (b) combining said cyclodextrin-compatible material and said cyclodextrin-incompatible material to form a first mixture; and (c) subsequently combining said cyclodextrin with said first mixture to form said composition suitable for capturing unwanted molecules. The resulting stable composition for removing unwanted molecules from a surface comprises functionally-available cyclodextrin and cyclodextrin-incompatible material.

Process of manufacturing compositions comprising cyclodextrin

The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous odor-absorbing composition, preferably for use on inanimate surfaces. The composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin and an effective amount of at least one ingredient to improve the performance of the composition selected from the group consisting of: (1) cyclodextrin compatible surfactant; (2) cyclodextrin compatible antimicrobial active; and (3) mixtures thereof. Hydrophilic perfume improves acceptance. Optionally, the composition can contain low molecular weight polyols; metallic salts to help control odor; a humectant, etc. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers. The cyclodextrin/surfactant combination, either alone, or in combination with the other ingredients, provides improved antimicrobial activity.
