CLEANING WIPES WITH PARTICULAR LOTION RETENTION AND EFFICACY CHARACTERISTICS
Pre-moistened wipes that include one or more characteristics correlated to desired properties, such as high durability, mileage, cleaning composition retention, efficacy, or the like are described. Pulp substrates typically include an anionic charge, which can result in binding or retention of a cationic biocide such as a quaternary ammonium compound while the remainder of the composition is released from the wipe (e.g., through squeezing, wiping or other compression). The present wipes are specifically tailored to release at least 20% of the quaternary ammonium compound to a target surface, and exhibit at least a 3-log reduction in Staphylococcus aureus population within about 10 seconds to 5 minutes. Such release and efficacy is achieved without the presence of any cationic biocide release agent (e.g., latex or a cationic salt) included in the cleaning composition or elsewhere within the pre-loaded disinfecting wipe.
A system includes an anti-allergen formulation and a device that generates droplets of the formulation to be delivered to an air environment. The aqueous formulation includes an organic acid having a vapor pressure between 0.001 Pa and 172 Pa and an aqueous solubility of at least 24.99 grams organic acid per 100 grams water, both at room temperature and standard pressure. The device can generate droplets of the formulation having a median particle size (Dv50) of no greater than 120 micrometers. The formulation delivered as droplets in an air environment can provide a statistically significant reduction, over a control, in one or more airborne allergens as measured by an enzyme linked immunoassay. In addition, the formulation delivered as droplets in the air environment can be effective to neutralize greater than 50% of one or more airborne allergens present in the air environment.
