A cleaning composition that comprises a nonionic sorbitan alkyl polyglucoside crosspolymer, at least one functionalized alkyl polyglucoside, a water conditioning agent, water, and an acid source.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition having a new protease.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition having a new protease.

Water-soluble refill dose articles have a water-soluble film defining a first compartment enclosing a concentrated cleanser composition. The concentrated liquid cleanser composition comprises an anionic surfactant, 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight water, and 20% or less by weight glycol. The anionic surfactant contributes to the % by weight water, and adding the article to water at a 1:1 to 1:20 ratio defines a cleanser volume and produces a liquid cleanser that is dispensable through a pump that forms foamed cleanser and has a viscosity within a range of 1 cps to 1000 cps. Kits having a dispenser and the water soluble refill dose article are disclosed that have a pump that can foam the liquid cleanser.

An aqueous caustic composition comprising: a caustic component; a surfactant; and an amino acid; wherein said composition has an advancing contact angle (θ.sub.A) of less than 80 degrees and a receding contact angle (θ.sub.R) of less than 20 degrees and processes associated therewith.

Described is a dual function cleaning tablet comprising: a first portion comprising an alkaline cleaning formulation; and a second portion comprising an acidic cleaning formulation.

Described is a dual function cleaning tablet comprising: a first portion comprising an alkaline cleaning formulation; and a second portion comprising an acidic cleaning formulation.

A detergent composition for metal product, which contains an amine (component A) represented by a general formula (I), a salt (component B′) of a dicarboxylic acid (component B) represented by a general formula (II): HOOC—R.sup.4—COOH (II) and the amine (component A), a salt (component C′) of a monocarboxylic acid (component C) represented by a general formula (III): R.sup.5—COOH (III) and the amine (component A), a nonionic surfactant (component D) represented by a general formula (IV): R.sup.6—O-{(EO)n/(PO)m}-H (IV), and water (component E) and has a pH of more than 7 and 10 or less. The detergent composition for metal product exhibits excellent detergency and metal corrosion suppressing performance.

A cleaning agent portion including a water-soluble wrapping and at least one composition for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher, the composition containing at least i) an acid and/or ii) a buffer system consisting of at least one acid and at least one base, wherein the composition includes at least two parts, at least one part A being a compressed part and at least one part B being a non-compressed part or a further compressed part, an optionally compressed part B being compressed to a lesser extent than part A. The invention also relates to a method for producing the cleaning agent portions. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher using the cleaning agent portion. The invention also relates to the use of and/or a method using the cleaning agent portion for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher.
