A method of laundering fabrics includes: a) contacting a laundry detergent to water to form a wash liquor, wherein the laundry detergent includes detersive surfactant, wherein the wash liquor includes detersive surfactant at a concentration in the range of from 100 ppm to 2500 ppm; b) contacting fabric to the wash liquor, and washing the fabric in the wash liquor; c) after a period of time of at least 6 minutes from contacting the fabric to the wash liquor, introducing calcium cations into the wash liquor to form a calcium enriched wash liquor, wherein the calcium enriched wash liquor includes calcium cations at a concentration in the range of from 20 ppm to 400 ppm; d) washing the fabric in the calcium-enriched wash liquor for a period of time of at least 2 minutes; and e) removing the excess calcium-enriched wash liquor from the fabric, and rinsing the fabric in water.

A concentrate aqueous composition for removing Type I and Type III rouge from various stainless-steel items. The liquid composition comprises oxalic acid, a phosphonic acid, and various amines. The use of an amine has been found to provide synergistic results in removal of the noted types of corrosion from various stainless-steel items that include medical instruments, machines, equipment, pipes, tools, mixing and storage vessels, and the like.

Use of a detergent composition comprising a fatty acid-transforming enzyme to impart suds longevity in a washing process. A method for promoting suds longevity in a washing process for washing soiled articles, comprising the step of: delivering a composition comprising a fatty acid-transforming enzyme to a volume of water to form a wash liquor and immersing the soiled article in the liquor.

The present invention relates to a composition for surface treatment including: a phosphonic acid compound containing two or more nitrogen atoms; and water, wherein the pH is 6 or less, and the composition for surface treatment is used for treating a surface of a polishing-completed object to be polished having a tungsten-containing layer. According to the present invention, there is provided a means capable of inhibiting dissolution of the tungsten-containing layer provided on a polishing-completed object to be polished when a surface treatment is performed.

The invention relates to cleaning deposits of various natures from metal, glass and ceramic surfaces of industrial equipment and can be used for the removal of such deposits, as metal oxides (iron, chromium, nickel, etc.), carbonate and salt deposits, asphalt-tar-paraffin deposits and deposits of an oily nature, deposits of organic and biological nature (bacterial deposits). The proposed solution for removing deposits of different natures comprises hydrogen peroxide, complexing agent, calixarene and water in the following quantitative ratio, wt. %: hydrogen peroxide, 2-90; complexing agent, 3-30; calixarene, 0.01-10; water, the balance. EFFECT: increased degree of cleaning off deposits of various natures with simultaneous reduction of solution aggressiveness to structural materials.

The present disclosure provides a polyetheramine alkoxylate compound containing aromatic groups in the hydrophobe allowing the compound to exhibit unique functionality, high performance and low cost, but without the toxicity and/or skin and eye irritation problems associated with conventional polyetheramine compounds.

A high foaming liquid alkaline cleaner comprises one or more alkalinity sources; one or more surfactants comprising a hydrotrope, one or more wetting and soil emulsifying surfactants, one or more foam volume generating surfactants, and one or more foam boosting surfactants and one or more sequestrants. Optionally, an organic solvent can be utilized. The high foaming liquid alkaline cleaning composition is generally prepared in a concentrated form and can be diluted as with water. The alkaline cleaner provides effective cleaning properties, with respect to fats, oils, and organic soils.
