(a) from 5 to 15% by weight of isopropanol;

(b) from 2 to 8% by weight of a glycol selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, and butylene glycol;

(c) from 30 to 60% by weight of water;

(d) from 20 to 40% by weight of an emulsifying and surfactant agent selected from the group consisting of sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerol monostearate and alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol;

(e) an effective amount of a binding agent selected from the group consisting of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, and 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose; and

(f) as an active deodorizing agent, from 5 to 15% by weight of said concentrate composition of an essential oil.

Claims

1. A deodorant composition in concentrate form for abating the odor of organic refuse comprising:

(a) from 5 to 15% by weight of isopropanol;

(b) from 2 to 8% by weight of a glycol selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, and butylene glycol;

(c) from 30 to 60% by weight of water;

(d) from 20 to 40% by weight of an emulsifying and surfactant agent selected from the group consisting of sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerol monostearate and alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol;

(e) an effective amount of a binding agent selected from the group consisting of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose; and

(f) as an active deodorizing agent, from 5 to 15% by weight of an essential oil.

2. A deodorant composition as recited in claim 1 wherein the composition contains 8 to 10% isopropanol.

3. A deodorant composition as recited in claim 1 wherein the composition contains from 4 to 6% of propylene glycol.

4. A deodorant composition as recited in claim 1 wherein the composition contains from 25 to 30% by weight of alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanol.

5. A deodorant composition as recited in claim 1 wherein the composition contains from 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of sodium carboxy methyl sulfate.

6. A deodorant composition as recited in claim 1 wherein the composition contains from 8 to 12% of an essential oil selected from the group consisting of eucalyptus oil, lemon grass oil and juniper berry oil.

7. A deodorant composition in concentrate form for abating the odor of organic refuse, said composition being in suitable form for application to said organic refuse in spray form, comprising:

(a) from 8 to 10% by weight of isopropanol;

(b) from 4 to 6% by weight of a glycol selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, and butylene glycol;
