Claims

1. A method for the elimination or mitigation of malodor(s) on surfaces comprising contacting said malodor(s) with an aqueous liquid deodorizing composition, in which said composition comprises about 0.1-3% water soluble/dispersible film-forming polymer, about 0.01-5% fragrance, about 1-15% water soluble/dispersible volatile solvent, about 0.01-1% of a surfactant, and, the remainder, water.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said composition further comprises at least one aesthetic or functional additive other than said perfume and said surfactant, or mixtures thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said polymer is selected from the group consisting of water soluble to dispersible polymers having a molecular weight of below about 2,000,000 daltons.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein said polymer is an acrylate polymer.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said solvent is selected from C1-6 alkanols and C1-24 glycol ethers.
