A water-soluble unit dose article containing a non-soap anionic surfactant, a non-ionic surfactant and a method of use thereof.

A system having a WC basket that has at least one chamber, wherein: a self-adhesive sanitary agent in gel form is present in the chamber of the WC basket and adheres to the chamber sleeve; the chamber sleeve is completely closed on at least one side, and the agent adheres to the completely closed side of the chamber sleeve; the sanitary agent has at least one non-ionic adhesion promoter; the non-ionic adhesion promoter has at least one hydrophobic functional group and also includes a hydrophilic group; and the agent is acidic.

A washing agent portion unit including a) at least one first receiving chamber, b) at least one water-soluble film surrounding this first receiving chamber, and c) at least one first flowable washing agent preparation located in the first receiving chamber, which preparation contains, based on the total weight thereof, i) 40 to 80 wt. % surfactant; ii) 2 to 15 wt. % fatty acid; iii) 0.3 to 8 wt. % of salt of a divalent cation; iv) 8 to 35 wt. % solvent; d) at least one second receiving chamber which is surrounded by a water-soluble film and is filled with a second washing agent preparation which differs from the first flowable washing agent preparation, wherein the first receiving chamber and the second receiving chamber are directly adjacent to one another and separated from one another by a water-soluble film, and washing methods using these washing agent portion units.

A method for producing a liquid, surfactant-containing washing agent containing: i) 20 to 80 wt. % surfactant; ii) 2 to 15 wt. % fatty acid; iii) 0.3 to 8 wt. % of salt of a divalent cation; iv) 8 to 35 wt. % solvent; the method including the steps of: a) providing a first flowable washing agent preparation containing a surfactant, fatty acid and solvent; b) introducing the salt of a divalent cation into the liquid composition so as to form a salt-containing composition; c) mixing the salt-containing composition.

Compositions are disclosed that include PEG-modified triglycerides as a surfactant. The mixtures form stable microemulsions with oils and fatty acids which can be the resultant product, such as lubricants, sunscreens, or triglyceride-based products. These emulsions or microemulsions are stable, irreversible, and can be created at low temperature. These can be used in detergents, rinse aids and the like to form microemulsions to remove oils and greasy soils, such as non-trans fats and fatty acids from substrates/surfaces often without the need for linker or other cosurfactants. Methods of making the compositions/microemulsions are included as well as uses thereof.

The present invention relates to a process for reducing malodors on fabrics using a detergent composition containing a polyalkyleneamine and use of the polyalkyleneamine in the process.

Provided are a cleaning or hydrophilizing agent composition and a method for cleaning or hydrophilizing a hard surface excellent in cleaning power and capable of imparting hydrophilicity to hard surfaces. The cleaning or hydrophilizing agent composition contains (A) an anionic surfactant (hereinafter referred to as component (A)), (B) a nonionic surfactant (hereinafter referred to as component (B)) and water, wherein the composition contains (A1) a branched anionic surfactant as component (A), and (B1) a nonionic surfactant having a hydrocarbon group with 8 or more and 22 or less carbons as component (B).

Water-soluble unit dose article comprising a liquid laundry detergent composition, wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition contains an ethoxylated secondary alcohol non-ionic surfactant.

A water-soluble unit dose article containing a non-soap anionic surfactant and non-ionic surfactant, where the non-ionic surfactant includes first and second alkoxylated alcohol non-ionic surfactants. A related process of laundering fabrics.

The present invention concerns a detergent composition, comprising: a) from 2 to 95 wt. %, preferably from 2 to 50 wt. %, more preferably from 2 to 40 wt. % of an organic acid derivative of mono- and di-glycerides of the form:— (I) wherein one or two, of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently selected from an acyl group of the formula R.sub.4CO—; where R4 is a linear or branched, saturated or mon-unsaturated C.sub.9 to C.sub.21 alkyl chain; wherein one or two, of R1, R2 and R3 is selected from an organic acid of generic formulation (HOOC).sub.nXCO—; wherein X is saturated or monounsaturated organic group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms and n=1 to 3; wherein one or none of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is selected from H; and, b) from 0.5 to 25 wt. %, preferably from 1 to 20 wt. %, more preferably from 1 to 10 wt. % of non-ionic surfactant; and to domestic method of treatment of a textile using said composition.
