A process of manufacturing a composition suitable for capturing unwanted molecules comprising the steps of: (a) providing cyclodextrin, a cyclodextrin-compatible material, and a cyclodextrin-incompatible material; (b) combining said cyclodextrin-compatible material and said cyclodextrin-incompatible material to form a first mixture; and (c) subsequently combining said cyclodextrin with said first mixture to form said composition suitable for capturing unwanted molecules. The resulting stable composition for removing unwanted molecules from a surface comprises functionally-available cyclodextrin and cyclodextrin-incompatible material.
