摘要

FRESHENING COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A MALODOR BINDING POLYMER, A MALODOR COUNTERACT ANT COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE ALIPHATIC ALDEHYDE, AND AN AQUEOUS CARRIER, WHEREIN THE COMPOSITION IS ESSENTIALLY FREE OF ANY MATERIAL THAT WOULD SOIL OR STAIN FABRIC; AND METHODS THEREOF ARE PROVIDED. IN SOME EMBODIMENTS, THE MALODOR BINDING POLYMER COMPRISES A HOMOPOLYMERIC POLYETHYLENIMINE HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF ABOUT 1,000 TO ABOUT 2,000,000. SUCH FRESHENING COMPOSITIONS MAY BE USED TO REDUCE MALODOR AND/OR MICROBES ON INANIMATE SURFACES OR IN THE AIR.
