Method for reducing malodor impression on inanimate surfaces

A method of treating an inanimate object or inanimate surface which has malodor impression to reduce said malodor impression, said method comprising the step of contacting said inanimate object or inanimate surface with an effective amount of a composition for reducing malodor impression comprising:

• (a) from about 0.01% to about 1%, by weight of said composition, of perfume;
• (b) from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of said composition, of metallic salt;
• (c) from about 0.5% to about 3%, by weight of said composition, of solubilizing aid;
• and
• (d) aqueous carrier comprising water and low molecular weight monohydric alcohol;
• wherein said composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric.

A method of treating fabric which has malodor impression to reduce said malodor impression, said method comprising the step of spraying said fabric with an effective amount of a composition for reducing malodor impression comprising:

• (a) from about 0.01% to about 1%, by weight of said composition, of perfume;
• (b) from about 0.3% to about 5%, by weight of said composition, of metallic salt;
• wherein said metallic salt is zinc salt;
• (c) from about 0.5% to about 3%, by weight of said composition, of solubilizing aid;
• wherein said solubilizing aid comprises nonionic surfactant;
• and
• (d) aqueous carrier comprising water and low molecular weight monohydric alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol;
• wherein said composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric.
