Abstract:
A stable, aqueous odor-absorbing and wrinkle-controlling composition comprising:(A) an effective amount of solubilized, uncomplexed cyclodextrin to absorb malodors; (B) optionally, an effective amount of cyclodextrin compatible surfactant to lower the surface tension of the composition; (C) an effective amount of cyclodextrin compatible and water soluble antimicrobial active to kill, or reduce, the growth of microorganisms on a treated surface; (D) optionally, an effective amount of hydrophilic perfume, to improve acceptance of the composition, containing at least about 50% by weight of the perfume of ingredients having a ClogP of less than about 3.5 and, optionally, perfume ingredients selected from the group consisting of dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethyl-naphtho(2,1-b)furan, 2-ethyl-4-(2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopenten-1-yl)-2-buten-1-ol, benzyl salicylate, butyl anthranilate, damascenone, alpha-damascone, gamma-dodecalactone, ebanol, 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl-ethyl ether, cis-3-hexenyl salicylate, alpha-ionone, beta-ionone, alpha-isomethylionone, para-tertiary-butyl-alpha-methyl hydrocinnamic aldehyde, methyl nonyl ketone, gamma-undecalactone, undecylenic aldehyde, and mixtures thereof; (E) optionally, from about 0.01% to about 3% by weight of the composition of low molecular weight polyol; (F) optionally, from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition of aminocarboxylate chelator; (G) optionally, an effective amount of metallic salt for improved odor; (H) optionally, an effective amount of solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative to prevent spoilage of the composition; (I) an effective amount of cyclodextrin compatible fabric wrinkle control agent to reduce wrinkles on fabrics, wherein said wrinkle control agent is selected from the group consisting of cyclodextrin compatible fiber lubricants, cyclodextrin compatible shape retention polymers, cyclodextrin compatible lithium salts, and mixtures thereof; (J) optionally, an effective amount of cyclodextrin compatible plasiticizer as a fabric softening agent; (K) an effective amount of enzyme for improved odor control benefit; and (L) an aqueous carrier.
