A biocidal composition is presented comprising at least one biguanide polymer, at least one further active agent and at least one tertiary amine oxide. The provision of at least one tertiary amine oxide results in an improved efficacy of the said biocidal composition of approximately 1000 times.

Disclosed is a curtain, such as a pleated hospital cubicle curtain, having a plurality of glider retaining formations positioned at or near an edge of the curtain, and a plurality of gliders for securing the curtain to a curtain rail, each said glider comprising engaging means for releasably securing each said glider to a said glider retaining formation at a predetermined position in relation to the curtain edge. Motion of the gliders with respect to each said glider retaining formation, and thus to the edge of the curtain, is restricted. Accordingly, the gliders may be readily aligned so as to facilitate rapid engagement with a curtain rail, for example, by folding of a pleated curtain. Subsequently, the curtain may be removed from the curtain rail for cleaning or replacement without the requirement to demount the gliders from the curtain rail, by releasing the gliders from the glider retaining formations. Furthermore, a single type of curtain is compatible with gliders adapted for use with any type of curtain rail and, in some embodiments of the invention, the curtain is eyeleted (the glider retaining formations being generally in the form of an eyelet) and is suitable for use with conventional hooks and gliders.

Disclosed is a method for killing spores from a surface or a material, comprising applying an effective amount of a biocidal composition which comprises one or more biguanide polymers, and one or more further active agents on said surface or material, characterised in that the or each further active agent is, when taken alone, sporicidally inactive. Compositions comprising polymeric biguanides and one or more further biocidal agents and, optionally, a polyorganosiloxane, have been found to be effective as a sporicidal agent and are particularly effective against the spores of C.difficile. The compositions may be used in industry, in domestic applications and are particularly suitable for use in hospital due to their low toxicity. Furthermore, the method may comprise impregnating a fabric to thereby provide long lasting sporicidal activity thereto.
