Abstract
A cleaning system for laundry which includes a washing agent and a protective agent. The washing agent is configured to remove unwanted matter from the laundry. The protective agent is configured to create a bonded barrier comprising organosilane antimicrobial(s) on the laundry for protection against odors from bacteria, mold and mildew and/or the like. The washing agent and the protective agent are configured to be used in a two-step water-based treatment process in which the washing agent is provided in a given first step of the treatment process and the protective agent is provided in a given subsequent second step of the treatment process.
Claims24
A cleaning system for natural and synthetic fabrics, high performance textiles, sports gear, towels and linens, the cleaning system comprising:
- a cleaning agent configured to remove unwanted matter from laundry, the cleaning agent comprising at least one chelator, a plurality of nonionic/cationic surfactants, at least one organosilane antimicrobial and a plurality of enzymes;
- and
- a protective agent configured to create a bonded barrier of protection against odors from at least one of bacteria, mold and mildew on the from laundry, the protective agent comprising at least one antistatic agent and at least one organosilane antimicrobial, and the bonded barrier comprising the at least one organosilane antimicrobial.
A cleaning system for laundry, the cleaning system comprising:
- a cleaning agent configured to remove unwanted matter from laundry, the cleaning agent comprising at least one citric acid solution, at least one chelator, a plurality of nonionic/cationic surfactants, and at least one biocide;
- and
- a protective agent configured to create a bonded barrier of protection against odors from at least one of bacteria, mold and mildew on the laundry, the protective agent comprising at least one nonionic/cationic surfactant, at least one antistatic agent, at least one biocide, and at least one organosilane antimicrobial, and the bonded barrier comprising the at least one organosilane antimicrobial.
A high performance laundry antimicrobial spray comprising at least one nonionic/cationic surfactant and at least one organosilane antimicrobial, the antimicrobial spray configured to create a bonded barrier of protection against odors from at least one of bacteria, mold and mildew on at least one of the high performance textiles, sports gear, and laundry, the bonded barrier comprising the at least one organosilane antimicrobial.
