A stable composition for removing unwanted molecules from a surface comprises functionally-available cyclodextrin and cyclodextrin-incompatible material. The compositions are suitable for capturing unwanted molecules from inanimate surfaces, including fabrics, including carpets, and household surfaces such as countertops, dishes, floors, garbage cans, ceilings, walls, carpet padding, air filters, and the like, and from animate surfaces, including skin, hair, and the like. The compositions can further comprise cyclodextrin-compatible materials and other optional ingredients.
