Freshening compositions comprising malodor binding polymers and malodor counteractants

摘要

Freshening compositions comprising a malodor binding polymer, a malodor counteractant 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.

主权项

1. A freshening composition for reducing malodor comprising:
about 0.01% to about 0.07%, by weight of said freshening composition, of a malodor binding polymer, wherein the malodor binding polymer is a homopolymeric polyethyleneimine having a molecular weight of about 25,000 Daltons and 15% to 80% primary amino groups; a malodor counteractant comprising at least one aliphatic aldehyde; from about 0.05% to about 1%, by weight of said composition, of surfactant; and an aqueous carrier; wherein said composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric, wherein said composition comprises a pH of about 6 to about 8.
