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 disclosure relates a surfactant package for use in hard surface cleaning compositions, preferably floor cleaning compositions which pair an anionic linear alkyl sulfonate surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a ratio of 1:1 to 9:1. This combination provides for synergistic cleaning of both proteinaceous food soils (red soils) and hydrocarbon-based oily soils (black soils) while also reducing foam produced by the composition. Synergistic nonionic surfactants include EO/PO alcohol alkoxylates or EO/PO fatty alcohol surfactants with a propylene oxide to ethylene oxide to ratio of greater than 1.

A composition for use on a hard surface. The composition has: (i) at least 7.5 wt. % of at least one surfactant selected; (ii) a transport rate factor of less than about 55 seconds; and (iii) an adhesion time of greater than about 8 hours.

Provided are surfactant compositions that are useful as alternatives to alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) type surfactants in emulsion polymerization. The surfactant compositions comprise: an alkyl alkoxylate sulfate of formula (I): RO(C.sub.3H.sub.6O).sub.x(C.sub.2H.sub.4O).sub.yS0.sub.3M, wherein R, x, y, and M are as defined herein.

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 need for liquid laundry detergent compositions which provide good removal of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic stains, while also comprising reduced levels of 1,4-dioxane, or even no 1,4-dioxane, is met by formulating the laundry detergent composition with a combination of sulfonate anionic surfactant and an alkyl alkanolamide sulfate anionic surfactant.

Concentrated controlled foaming detergent compositions for cleaning are provided. Concentrated liquid compositions including at least 40% active surfactants in the liquid composition made up of an amine oxide surfactant, an anionic sulfonate surfactant, and an alkoxylated nonionic surfactant in a concentrate that has less than about 1 ppm 1,4-dioxane are provided. Methods of using the concentrated foam-controlled compositions for dishwashing are also provided.

A method of making a liquid laundry detergent formulation is provided, comprising: providing a liquid carrier; providing a cleaning surfactant; and selecting a cleaning booster of Formula (I) ##STR00001##
wherein x is 3 to 10; wherein y is 5 to 20; wherein z is 5 to 30; wherein x+y+z18; wherein xz; wherein each R is a C.sub.7-9 alkyl group, wherein 75 wt % of the R groups are branched; wherein the selected cleaning booster of Formula (I) is selected based its cleaning boosting properties; providing the selected cleaning booster of Formula (I); and combining the liquid carrier, the cleaning surfactant and the selected cleaning booster of Formula (I) to provide the liquid laundry detergent formulation.

The present application relates to a technical field of washing products, and, in particular, to a whitening and stain-removing laundry sheet and a preparation method thereof. A whitening and stain-removing laundry sheet includes: a film-forming agent, an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, a fluorescent whitening agent, an anti-fouling agent, an enzyme preparation, a plant extract, a chelating agent, and an auxiliary; the film-forming agent includes a film-forming agent A and a film-forming agent B; the film-forming agent A is polyvinyl alcohol, and the film-forming agent B is at least one selected from a group consisting of: polyvinylpyrrolidone and a modified polyvinyl alcohol. The whitening and stain-removing laundry sheet of the present application has strong solubility, significant whitening effect on fabrics, and possesses stain-removing ability. The whitening and stain-removing laundry sheet also has advantages of being convenient to carry, easy to use, and leaving no solid residues after use.
