Water-soluble unit dose article containing solid laundry detergent composition and water-soluble film.

A laundry detergent composition comprising an anti-redeposition agent, a surfactant, and optionally a builder, wherein the anti-redeposition agent is a polymer comprising polymerized units of: (a) from 5 to 40 wt % of at least one nitrogen-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least one pKa value from 6 to 11.5, and (b) from 60 to 95 wt % of at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer.

The present invention relates to a variant of a parent lipase, wherein said variant has at least 60% but less than 100% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 2; has lipase activity; has substitutions corresponding to G91A and N92D in the lid region located from position G82 to position 1100 of SEQ ID NO: 2; has one or more additional substitutions in the lid region; and has at least mutations in positions corresponding to position T231 and position N233 of SEQ ID NO: 2. The present invention also relates to compositions, methods for cleaning a surface using a variant or a composition of the invention; polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, host cells comprising the polynucleotides; methods of using the variants; and methods for obtaining the lipase variant.

The present invention relates to a hand dishwashing cleaning composition including a desirable foam rheology profile. In particular, the composition includes a surfactant system comprising an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant having a mixture of: (a) 60% or more of a first alkyl polyglucoside surfactant material having an average carbon chain length between 10 and 12; and (b) 40% or less of a second alkyl polyglucoside surfactant material having an average alkyl carbon chain length between 12 and 16. Such compositions exhibit surprising and unexpected good sudsing profile, preferably suitable suds rheology and aesthetics, especially when applied onto a cleaning implement upon dilution with wash water during the dishwashing process.

Disclosed is a laundry composition comprising a plurality of particles, wherein the particle comprises 30 to 95% of polyethylene glycol by weight of the particle, disintegrant, and occlusion of gas, wherein the disintegrant is effervescent disintegrant of a combination of carbonate source and acid source and wherein the particle has an average density of 1 to 1.1 g/cm3.

Compositions including an alginate lyase enzyme and anionic surfactant. Methods of treating fabrics by contacting the fabric with an aqueous wash liquor having the detergent composition therein. The compositions and methods are particularly for improving whiteness of a fabric, improved soil removal from a fabric, for malodour removal from a fabric, for anti-wrinkle benefits, anti-redeposition benefits and/or for improved drying of a fabric.

A method of laundering fabric including the steps of: (a) contacting a detergent composition including linear alkylbenzene sulphonate detersive surfactant, C.sub.8-C.sub.24 alkyl sulphate detersive surfactant and phenolic antioxidant with water to form a wash liquor including from 50 ppm to 2000 ppm linear alkylbenzene sulphonate detersive surfactant and from 10 to 750 ppm C.sub.8-C.sub.24 alkyl sulphate, from 0.1 ppm to 200 ppm phenolic antioxidant and from 0.001 ppm to 10.0 ppm iron, and having a pH in the range of from greater than 7.0 to 12.0, and wherein the molar ratio of linear alkylbenzene sulphonate detersive surfactant to C.sub.8-C.sub.24 alkyl sulphate detersive surfactant present in the wash liquor is in the range of from 0.05 to 200; (b) contacting fabric with the wash liquor; and (c) laundering the fabric.

Dishwashing agents may include a surfactant system having at least one alpha-olefin sulfonate and an additional surfactant different from the alpha-olefin sulfonate. The additional surfactant may be at least one anionic and/or non-ionic surfactant. The dishwashing agent may be used for manually washing dishes.
