Uncomplexed cyclodextrin compositions for odor control

An article of manufacture comprising a non-manually operated spray dispenser containing a stable, aqueous odor absorbing composition, for use on inanimate surfaces, comprising:

• (A) from about 0.5% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of uncomplexed cyclodextrin selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl alpha-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin, methylated beta-cyclodextrin, methylated alpha-cyclodextrin, and mixtures thereof;
• (B) from about 0.05% to about 0.3%, by weight of the composition, of cyclodextrin compatible surfactant selected from the group consisting of block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, polyalkyleneoxide polysiloxanies, and mixtures thereof;
• (C) from about 0.05% to about 0.2% by weight of the composition of cyclodextrin compatible and water soluble antimicrobial active selected from the group consisting of chlorhexidine, chlorhexidine salts, or mixtures thereof;
• (D) optionally, from about 0.003% to about 0.5% by weight of the composition of hydrophilic perfume containing at least about 50% by weight of the perfume of perfume ingredients that have a ClogP of less than about 3.5 and, optionally, perfume ingredients selected from the group consisting of ambrox, bacdanol, benzyl salicylate, butyl anthranilate, cetalox, damascenone, alpha-damascone, gamma-dodecalactone, ebanol, herbavert, cis-3-hexenyl salicylate, alpha-ionone, beta-ionone, alpha-isomethylionone, lilial, methyl nonyl ketone, gamma-undecalactone, undecylenic aldehyde, and mixtures thereof;
• (E) optionally, from about 0.01% to about 3% by weight of the composition of low molecular weight polyol;
• (F) optionally, from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition of aminocarboxylate chelator;
• (G) optionally, an effective amount of copper and/or zinc salts, for improved odor benefit;
• (H) optionally, from about 0.0001% to about 0.5% by weight of the compostion of solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative;
• and
• (I) aqueous carrier,
• said composition being essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric under usage conditions, and having a pH of more than about 3.5.

An article of manufacture comprising a non-manually operated spray dispenser comprising a spray head and a reservoir, said reservoir containing a stable, aqueous odor-absorbing composition comprising:

• A. an effective amount to absorb malodors of solubilized, uncomplexed cyclodextrin;
• B. optionally, an effective amount to improve the performance of the composition, of cyclodextrin compatible surfactant;
• C. optionally, an effective amount, to kill, or reduce the growth of microbes, of cyclodextrin compatible and water soluble antimicrobial active;
• D. optionally, an effective amount to improve acceptance of the composition of hydrophilic perfume containing at least about 50% by weight of the perfume of ingredients having a ClogP of less than about 3.5 and, optionally, a minor amount of perfume ingredients selected from the group consisting of ambrox, bacdanol, benzyl salicylate, butyl anthranilate, cetalox, damascenone, alpha-damascone, gamma-dodecalactone, ebanol, herbavert, cis-3-hexenyl salicylate, alpha-ionone, beta-ionone, alpha-isomethylionone, lilial, methyl nonyl ketone, gamma-undecalactone, undecylenic aldehyde, and mixtures thereof;
• E. optionally, from about 0.01% to about 3% by weight of the composition of low molecular weight polyol;
• F. optionally, from about 0.001% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition of aminocarboxylate chelator;
• G. optionally, but preferably, an effective amount of metallic salt for improved odor benefit;
• H. optionally, an effective amount of solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative;
• and
• I. aqueous carrier,
• said composition having an effective amount of either (B), (C), or both (B) and (C) and/or said composition being essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric under usage conditions and having a pH of more than about 3.5, and/or said spray dispenser being capable of dispensing said composition as small droplets having a weight average diameter of from about 10 μm to about 120 μm.
