Formulations for dissolvable solid unit dose toilet cleaning compositions containing an anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, a water-soluble filler and an organic acid, wherein the ratio of anionic surfactant to filler is 1:6 to 5:1. The filler includes clay, a sugar or a salt. The solid unit dose can be a tablet or compressed solid that engages with a wand to clean a toilet. The solids dissolve and can be flushed after use.

A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The unit dose contains surfactant, organic acid, and an organic acid buffering agent and is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning. The tablet has a top surface, a bottom surface, a height extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, and a diameter. The top surface has an indentation adapted to receive and engage with a wand. A ratio of the height to the diameter of the tablet is between 0.2 and 0.3. A kit contains a plurality of the tablets and a wand.

Silica microcapsules, each of which includes a shell, and a core containing one or more organic compounds inside the shell, a softener composition containing the silica microcapsules, and a method of producing the silica microcapsules is described. In the silica microcapsules, the shell contains silica as a constituent component, and the organic compound contains a primary alcohol.

A cleaning product includes a spray dispenser and a cleaning composition. The composition is housed in the spray dispenser. The cleaning composition includes from 5% to 25% of a surfactant system by weight of the composition. The surfactant system includes alkyl polyglucoside surfactant; a co-surfactant selected from zwitterionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, or mixtures thereof; and less than 3% by weight of the cleaning composition of anionic surfactant. The alkyl polyglucoside surfactant and the co-surfactant are present at a weight ratio of from 10:1 to 1:2. The cleaning composition further includes 0.1% to 10% of an organic solvent by weight of the composition. The pH of the composition is less than 8 as measured neat at 20° C.

Cleaning compositions and methods of making and using the same are provided. The cleaning composition includes an ethyl or methyl ester of a vegetable oil and an emulsifying agent consisting of isopropylamine alkylbenzene sulfonate. The cleaning compositions of the present invention are useful in a variety of domestic or industrial applications including removal of paint from paint brushes, removal of chewing gum from surfaces, and removal of graffiti from surfaces.

A dissolvable toilet cleaning solid tablet includes an anionic surfactant; virgin soap pellets; and borax, and desirably, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt; and an acid. The borax comprises about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of the composition, and the virgin soap pellets comprise about 12% to about 25% by weight of the composition.

An improved cleaning composition in block form is described. The composition addresses the consumer issues of having a clear product that remains clear through the life of the product and also has favorable handling properties such as a high melting point and increased hardness. The improvements are the result of three essential ingredients of particular block copolymer nonionic surfactants, alkanecarboxylic salts, and particular solvents at restricted proportions in the overall composition that are molded into a cleaning composition in block form that exhibits a high melting point, hardness and high optical transmittance.

Suggested is a rim block with improved scent performance, comprising or consisting of: (a) a solid rim block base, (b) at least one non-encapsulated perfume oil, and (c) at least one perfume oil same or different from component (b) encapsulated in a maltodextrin matrix.

An automatic dishwashing composition comprising polyepoxysuccinic acid (PESA) or derivatives thereof.

component (A): 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene

component (B): a hydrofluoroolefin of the following general formula:

C.sub.nF.sub.2n−1—O—C.sub.mH.sub.2m+1.

n is an integer of 5 to 10, and m is an integer of 1 to 5.
