- the compositions are designed to reduce malodor on inanimate surfaces, especially, clothes, e.g., those that have been stored for a long period of time, that are contaminated with environmental odors such as food odors, tobacco odors, and that are wetted with perspiration.
- the composition is used to restore and/or maintain freshness by reducing malodor without the need for washing or dry cleaning.
- the present invention relates to aqueous, preferably clear, compositions, articles of manufacture, and or method for use, as a freshening composition.
- the compositions are sprayed onto fabrics, particularly clothes, to restore their freshness by reducing malodor impression, without washing or dry cleaning.
- Fabrics treated with some preferred compositions of the present invention also release extra fragrance upon rewetting, such as when the wearer perspires.
- the freshening compositions of the present invention are designed to extend the wear of fabrics between washing or dry cleaning. Fabrics treated with some preferred freshening compositions of the present invention will stay fresher longer, and receive extra freshening effect via perfume release when it is most needed, that is upon fabric rewetting.
- Odor masking is the intentional concealment of one odor by the addition of another.
- the preference to the masking perfume is varied greatly, depending on the application, e.g., underarm odor masking, fabric odor masking, bathroom odor masking, etc.
- the art teaches the use of perfume as an odor masking device in combination with alcohol in order to solubilize the perfume. It has now been discovered that perfumes with a Clog P of less than 3 do not need alcohol in order to be solubilized and perfumes with a Clog P of greater than 3 can be solubilized with a solubilizing aid.

- fragrance material selected from the group consisting of:
- a perfume containing perfume ingredients which are not too hydrophobic.
- the less hydrophobic perfume ingredients are more soluble in water, and are more available in the freshening composition.
- the degree of hydrophobicity of a perfume ingredient can be correlated with its octanol/water partitioning coefficient P.
- the octanol/water partitioning coefficient of a perfume ingredient is the ratio between its equilibrium concentration in octanol and in water.
- a perfume ingredient with a greater partitioning coefficient P is more hydrophobic.
- a perfume ingredient with a smaller partitioning coefficient P is more hydrophilic.
- the preferred perfume ingredients of this invention have an octanol/water partitioning coefficient P of about 1,000 or smaller. Since the partitioning coefficients of the perfume ingredients normally have high values, they are more conveniently given in the form of their logarithm to the base 10, logP.
- the fragment approach is based on the chemical structure of each perfume ingredient, and takes into account the numbers and types of atoms, the atom connectivity, and chemical bonding.
- the Clog P values which are the most reliable and widely used estimates for this physicochemical property, are used instead of the experimental logP values in the selection of perfume ingredients which are useful in the present invention.

- solubilized, water-soluble preservatives can be added to the present invention.
- Preservatives are especially preferred when cyclodextrin is added to the composition of the present invention because cyclodextrin molecules are made up of varying numbers of glucose units which can make them a prime breeding ground for certain microorganisms, especially when in aqueous compositions.
- This drawback can lead to the problem of storage stability of cyclodextrin solutions for any significant length of time. Contamination by certain microorganisms with subsequent microbial growth resulting in an unsightly and/or malodorous solution.

- Preferred antimicrobial preservatives are those that are water-soluble and are effective at low levels because the organic preservatives can form inclusion complexes with the cyclodextrin molecules and compete with the perfume molecules for the cyclodextrin cavities, thus rendering the complexed preservatives much less effective.
- Water-soluble preservatives useful in the present invention are those that have a solubility in water of at least about 0.3 g per 100 ml of water, i.e., about 0.3% at room temperature, preferably greater than about 0.5% at room temperature. These types of preservatives have a lower affinity to the cyclodextrin cavity, at least in the aqueous phase, and are therefore more available to provide antimicrobial activity.
- Preservatives with a water-solubility of less than about 0.3% and a molecular structure that readily fits into the cyclodextrin cavity have a greater tendency to form inclusion complexes with the cyclodextrin molecules, thus rendering the preservative less effective to control microbes in the cyclodextrin solution.
- the water-soluble antimicrobial preservative is included in the present invention it is included at an effective amount.
- effective amount means a level sufficient to prevent spoilage or prevent growth of inadvertently added microorganisms for a specific period of time, but not sufficient enough to contribute to the odor absorbing performance of the composition.

- Preferred propellants are compressed air, nitrogen, inert gases, carbon dioxide, etc.
- the spray dispenser can be a self-pressurized non-aerosol container having a convoluted liner and an elastomeric sleeve.
- Said self-pressurized dispenser comprises a liner/sleeve assembly containing a thin, flexible radially expandable convoluted plastic liner of from about 0.010 to about 0.020 inch thick, inside an essentially cylindrical elastomeric sleeve.
- the liner/sleeve is capable of holding a substantial quantity of odor-absorbing fluid product and of causing said product to be dispensed.
- a more complete description of self-pressurized spray dispensers can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,111,971, Winer, issued May 12, 1992, and 5,232,126, Winer, issued Aug. 3, 1993; both of said references are herein incorporated by reference.
- Another type of aerosol spray dispenser is one wherein a barrier separates the odor absorbing composition from the propellant (preferably compressed air or nitrogen), as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,260,110, issued April 7, 1981, and incorporated herein by reference. Such a dispenser is available from EP Spray Systems, East Hanover, New Jersey.
- the spray dispenser is a non-aerosol, manually activated, pump-spray dispenser.
- Said pump-spray dispenser comprises a container and a pump mechanism which securely screws or snaps onto the container.
- the container comprises a vessel for containing the aqueous odor-absorbing composition to be dispensed.
- the pump mechanism comprises a pump chamber of substantially fixed volume, having an opening at the inner end thereof.
- a pump stem having a piston on the end thereof disposed for reciprocal motion in the pump chamber.
- the pump stem has a passageway there through with a dispensing outlet at the outer end of the passageway and an axial inlet port located inwardly thereof.
- the container and the pump mechanism can be constructed of any conventional material employed in fabricating pump-spray dispensers, including, but not limited to: polyethylene; polypropylene; polyethyleneterephthalate; blends of polyethylene, vinyl acetate, and rubber elastomer.
- a preferred container is made of clear, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate. Other materials can include stainless steel.
- the spray dispenser is a manually activated trigger-spray dispenser.
- Said trigger-spray dispenser comprises a container and a trigger both of which can be constructed of any of the conventional material employed in fabricating trigger-spray dispensers, including, but not limited to: polyethylene; polypropylene; polyacetal; polycarbonate; polyethyleneterephthalate; polyvinyl chloride; polystyrene; blends of polyethylene, vinyl acetate, and rubber elastomer. Other materials can include stainless steel and glass.
- a preferred container is made of clear, e.g. polyethylene terephthalate.
- the trigger-spray dispenser does not incorporate a propellant gas into the odor-absorbing composition, and preferably it does not include those that will foam the odor-absorbing composition.
- the trigger-spray dispenser herein is typically one which acts upon a discrete amount of the odor- absorbing composition itself, typically by means of a piston or a collapsing bellows that displaces the composition through a nozzle to create a spray of thin liquid.
- Said trigger-spray dispenser typically comprises a pump chamber having either a piston or bellows which is movable through a limited stroke response to the trigger for varying the volume of said pump chamber. This pump chamber or bellows chamber collects and holds the product for dispensing.
- the trigger spray dispenser typically has an outlet check valve for blocking communication and flow of fluid through the nozzle and is responsive to the pressure inside the chamber.
- the trigger For the piston type trigger sprayers, as the trigger is compressed, it acts on the fluid in the chamber and the spring, increasing the pressure on the fluid.
- the bellows spray dispenser As the bellows is compressed, the pressure increases on the fluid. The increase in fluid pressure in either trigger spray dispenser acts to open the top outlet check valve. The top valve allows the product to be forced through the swirl chamber and out the nozzle to form a discharge pattern.
- An adjustable nozzle cap can be used to vary the pattern of the fluid dispensed.
- the spring For the piston spray dispenser, as the trigger is released, the spring acts on the piston to return it to its original position.
- the bellows spray dispenser the bellows acts as the spring to return to its original position. This action causes a vacuum in the chamber. The responding fluid acts to close the outlet valve while opening the inlet valve drawing product up to the chamber from the reservoir.
- a broad array of trigger sprayers or finger pump sprayers are suitable for use with the compositions of this invention. These are readily available from suppliers such as Calmar, Inc., City of Industry, California; CSI (Continental Sprayers, Inc.), St. Peters, Missouri; Berry Plastics Corp., Evansville, Indiana — distributor of Guala® sprayers; or Seaquest Dispensing, Cary, Illinois.
- the preferred trigger sprayers are the blue inserted Guala® sprayer, available from Berry Plastics Corp., or the Calmar TS800-1A sprayers, available from Calmar Inc., because of the fine uniform spray characteristics, spray volume, and pattern size.
- Any suitable bottle or container can be used with the trigger sprayer, the preferred bottle is a 17 fl-oz. bottle (about 500 ml) of good ergonomics similar in shape to the Cinch® bottle. It can be made of any materials such as high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, glass, or any other material that forms bottles. Preferably, it is made of high density polyethylene or clear polyethylene terephthalate.
- a finger pump can be used with canister or cylindrical bottle. The preferred pump for this application is the cylindrical Euromist II®, from Seaquest Dispensing.
- composition for reducing malodor impression herein can be used by distributing, e.g., by placing the aqueous solution into a dispensing means, preferably a spray dispenser and spraying an effective amount onto the desired surface or article.
- An effective amount as defined herein means an amount sufficient to absorb odor to the point that it is not discernible by the human sense of smell yet not so much as to saturate or create a pool of liquid on said article or surface and so that when dry there is no visual deposit readily discernible. Distribution can be achieved by using a spray device, a roller, a pad, etc.
- the present invention does not encompass distributing the solution on to shiny surfaces including, e.g., chrome, glass, smooth vinyl, leather, shiny plastic, shiny wood, etc. It is preferable not to distribute the solution onto shiny surfaces because spotting and filming can more readily occur on the surfaces. Furthermore, the solution is not for use on human skin, especially when an antimicrobial preservative is present in the composition because skin irritation can occur.
