A dissolvable solid article is provided, which is characterized by a multilayer structure formed of two or more flexible and dissolvable sheets that each comprises a water-soluble polymer. Such dissolvable solid article is at least 2 mm thick and contains one or more through-apertures or through-holes with a width or diameter of 0.2-0.8 mm.

Washing and/or care articles may include a substrate containing polyvinyl alcohol and starch and one or more perfume compositions comprising fragrance precursor compounds. Furthermore, such articles may be used for washing, cleaning and/or care purposes, such as for textiles. A method for washing, caring for or conditioning textiles using such an article is also disclosed.

A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, having at least two phases which are different from each other. The detergent or cleaning agent includes at least one first phase and at least one second phase that is different, with the at least one first phase being solid and the at least one second phase having at least one polymer and at least one polyvalent alcohol.

A laundry washing machine having a cabinet supporting a washing drum adapted to receive laundry, and a washing tub external to the washing drum, and a treating agents dispenser with one or more compartments adapted to be receive treating agents. A first one of the compartments has a predefined zone configured to receive a unit dose package having a pre-measured amount of treating agent incorporated into a water-soluble pouch. The machine has a valve configured to connect to a source of pressurized water, and a water conveying line fluidly connected to the valve and having one or more outlets. The entirety of the water conveying line is water tight except for the outlets. The outlets are configured to direct a respective pressurized flow of water therethrough. At least one outlet is configured to direct a first pressurized flow of water into the first compartment towards the predefined zone.

The invention relates to surfactants of general formula (I) in which R represents a linear or branched alkyl, alkenyl, alkylaryl or alkenylaryl group having 5-25 C atoms and X.sup.+ represents a charge-balancing cation. The surfactants can be incorporated into detergents or cleaning agents, have excellent technological application properties and can be produced based on renewable raw materials.

A dissoluble film comprising a slip agent wherein said film has biased distribution of the slip agent towards one surface of the film.

Disclosed herein are unit dose articles comprising one or more compartments, the one or more compartments comprising a nonwoven web and a water soluble film.

The present invention provides formulations comprising a suspension of nanocellulose (NC) elements and a drying/dispersal additive selected from the group consisting of temperature-responsive polymers, small molecule additives in volatile systems, and blocking agents and methods of preparing such formulations, and further provides NC-containing materials, composite materials and useful articles of manufacture made therefrom.

A gel which is based on polysaccharide and which includes glass protection additives selected from zinc salts, polyvinyl amide, polyvinyl amine, or combinations thereof. The invention additionally relates to the use of the gel for the corrosion protection of glassware during cleaning and/or rinsing processes, in particular in a dishwasher, and to a method for preventing the corrosion of glassware during cleaning and/or rinsing processes, in particular in a dishwasher.

The present invention relates to an active substance wafer and methods for producing such an active substance wafer. Further, the present invention relates to the use of such an active substance wafer as/in a laundry care agent, a hand laundry washing agent or a dishwashing agent and to a product selected from these agents consisting or comprising an active substance wafer.
