The present invention relates to pathogen-reducing systems and methods employing ozone and compositions and articles useful therein. More particularly, the present invention relates to pathogen-reducing systems and methods useful in pathogen-reducing pathogen containing substrates/articles, such as sponges, wash cloths, scouring pads (i.e., plastic, metallic), utensils, dishes, cookware, pots, pans, skillets, baby bottles, baby nipples, glassware, dentures, brushes, gloves, reusable wipes, and the like wherein the substrate/article is treated with an ozone-enhancing composition and subjected with ozone in a closed environment, such that the ozone-enhancing composition and ozone are in contact with the substrate/article to be treated contemporaneously.
A pathogen-reducing system comprising ozone wherein the pathogen-reducing system kills and/or renders inactive pathogens better than ozone alone kills and/or renders inactive the pathogens.
A pathogen-reducing system comprising:
A pathogen-reducing system comprising:
A pathogen-reducing system comprising:
A pathogen-reducing system comprising:
A method for pathogen-reducing a pathogen-containing substrate comprising contacting the substrate with a pathogen-reducing system comprising ozone such that the pathogen-reducing system kills and/or renders inactive the pathogen better than ozone alone kills and/or renders inactive the pathogen.
A method for pathogen-reducing a pathogen-containing substrate comprising two or more genera of pathogens, wherein the method comprises contacting the substrate with a pathogen-reducing system comprising ozone such that the pathogen-reducing system kills and/or renders inactive at least one of the two or more genera of pathogens better than ozone alone kills and/or renders inactive the same at least one of the two or more genera of pathogens.
A method for pathogen-reducing a pathogen and ozone-enhancing agent-containing substrate comprising contacting the substrate with ozone such that the combination of the ozone and ozone-enhancing agent kills and/or renders inactive the pathogen better than ozone alone kills and/or renders inactive the pathogen.
A method for pathogen-reducing a pathogen-containing substrate comprising:
A pathogen-reducing composition comprising an ozone-enhancing agent such that when the pathogen-reducing composition comes into contact with pathogens in the presence of ozone, the combination of the pathogen-reducing composition and ozone kills and/or renders inactive the pathogens better than ozone alone kills and/or renders inactive the pathogens.
A method for pathogen-reducing a pathogen-containing substrate comprising:
