Abstract
This invention pertains to a method of counteracting a malodor in a solid or liquid, soap or detergent caused by a compound selected from the group consisting of lower carboxylic acids, thiols, thiophenols, phenols, lower amines, phosphines, arsines, lower alcohols, and lower ketones. The method comprises introducing into the solid or liquid, soap or detergent an effective malodor counteracting amount of a malodor counteracting compound selected from the group consisting of 1-cyclohexyl-ethyl-butyrate, 1-cyclohexyl-ethyl-acetate, 1-cyclohexyl-ethanol, 4-isopropyl-cyclohexyl-propionate, and phenoxyacetic acid 2-hydroxy-ethyl ester. The perceived total odor intensity in the solid or liquid, soap or detergent is reduced and the perceived malodor intensity in the solid or liquid, soap or detergent is substantially eliminated. The malodor counteractant compositions may be used in a wide variety of solid or liquid, soaps or detergents.
