Combination air sanitizer, soft surface deodorizer/sanitizer and hard surface disinfectant

An aerosol formulation for sanitizing air, sanitizing soft surfaces, treating odors embedded in soft surfaces, and disinfecting hard surfaces, the formulation comprising:

• from about 3 to about 10 wt % triethlylene glycol;
• from about 0.1 to about 1 wt % of at least one alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium saccharinate;
• from about 10 to about 40 wt % water;
• from about 30 to about 70 wt % of an alcohol;
• and
• a plurality of corrosion inhibitors comprising
• a first corrosion inhibitor that is selected from the group consisting of di-potassium phosphate, di-sodium phosphate, di-ammonium phosphate and mixtures thereof,
• a second corrosion inhibitor that is selected from the group consisting of mono-potassium phosphate, mono-sodium phosphate, mono-ammonium phosphates and mixtures thereof, and
• a third corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of potassium nitrite, sodium nitrite, ammonium nitrite and mixtures thereof.

A method for sanitizing air, sanitizing soft surfaces, treating odors embedded in soft surfaces and disinfecting hard surfaces with a single formulation, the method comprising:

• providing an aerosol formulation comprising from about 4 to about 10 wt % triethylene glycol, from about 0.1 to about 1 wt % of at least one alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium saccharinate, from about 10 to about 40 wt % water, from about 30 to about 70 wt % of an alcohol;
• and a plurality of corrosion inhibitors including a first corrosion inhibitor that is selected from the group consisting of di-potassium phosphate, di-sodium phosphate, di-ammonium phosphate and mixtures thereof, a second corrosion inhibitor that is selected from the group consisting of mono-potassium phosphate, mono-sodium phosphate, mono-ammonium phosphates and mixtures thereof, and a third corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of potassium nitrite, sodium nitrite, ammonium nitrite and mixtures thereof;
• spraying the formulation in the air;
• spraying the formulation on a soft surface;
• allowing the composition to form agglomerations within the soft surface;
• allowing malodorants disposed in the soft surface to absorb into the agglomerations;
• and
• spraying the formulation on a hard surface.
