| abstract |
A method and composition for deodorizing rugs is provided herein by applying a non-free flowing powder-fragrance composition onto a carpet and subsequently removing the composition, preferably by vacuuming. The invention also includes a package in the form of a shakeable canister for applying to rugs the aforementioned non-free flowing powder-fragrance composition. The non-free flowing powdered composition is made up of essentially an inorganic salt, such as sulfate, a chloride or bicarbonate or mixtures thereof, a fragrance, an antistatic and rheological control agent selected from natural and synthetic zeolites, and a liquid agglomerating agent. The composition exhibits stable non-free flowing properties, even at elevated temperatures, over a long period of time. |
