A fluid washing composition with four separate components and laundry washing kit thereof is disclosed. The four components are housed in respective independent tanks of a laundry washing machine equipped with a program for selecting, dosing and differentiated delivering. Component 1 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 4.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 40°-60° C., having a specific action on cotton fibers, particularly, whites. Component 2 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 8.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 15°-40° C., having a specific action on synthetic, colored and animal-origin fibers. Component 3 is an enzyme-based stain-removing formulation including protease and lipase and possibly amylase with a pH of 5.0-6.0, stabilized with sorbitol and calcium chloride. Component 4 is an after-wash conditioning formulation, with a pH of 2.0-4.0.

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.

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.

The present invention relates to a liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition including a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system includes an anionic surfactant and a co-surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant includes a mixture of a linear anionic surfactant and a branched anionic surfactant with a defined degree of branching and with the branching predominantly on an unalkoxylated alkyl sulfate surfactant. Such compositions exhibit surprising and unexpected improved sudsing profile, preferably stable suds, especially when the manual dishwashing is performed in a sink full of water with the cleaning composition diluted in it.

The present invention relates to a hand dishwashing cleaning composition. In particular, the composition includes a surfactant system having an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant. The alkyl polyglucoside surfactant component allows for good dissolution profile of the composition during both manual dishwashing conditions with detergents dosed into a full sink or detergents directly dosed onto a sponge and washed under the tap. Process for preparing the composition and methods of use are also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides a method of treating a hydrocarbon-containing reservoir. The method involves introducing into the reservoir a surfactant composition. The surfactant composition includes an alpha olefin sulfonate or an isomerized olefin sulfonate. The alpha olefin sulfonate or the isomerized olefin sulfonate is synthesized by i) oligomerizing a monomer comprising a C.sub.3 to C.sub.6 mono-olefin to form an oligomerization product and ii) sulfonating the oligomerization product.

The present disclosure relates to cleaning compositions that comprise renewable components and fewer components, compared to traditional cleaning compositions, while providing comparable or better performance than traditional cleaning compositions.

The invention provides a detergent composition for the non-oxidative laundering of fabric stains, the composition comprising: (a) from 0.1 to 10% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of ethylenediamine-N,N′-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid (EDDHA) and/or salts thereof, and (b) from 3 to 80% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of one or more detersive surfactants.

The need for a liquid detergent composition, especially a hand dishwashing liquid detergent which provides improved sudsing, especially when used in hard water conditions and in the presence of greasy soils, and providing a desirably viscosity, while not aggravating skin dryness, can be provided by formulating the liquid detergent composition using a hydroxypropylcellulose polymer having a defined molecular weight.

The present invention relates to compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising a mix of enzymes. The invention further relates, use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes.
