Catalyst compositions are disclosed, as well as their methods of manufacture and their uses in detergent formulations, such as powdered laundry and dishwash formulations. The catalyst composition may be readily incorporated into powder and/or solid detergent formulations, wherein they exhibit remarkable stability properties and may enhance the bleaching action and thus cleaning capabilities of the detergent formulation.

Described herein, are dishwashing paste compositions comprising: an abrasive; a pH modifying agent in an amount effective to provide a pH greater than 7; a structuring agent; and a source of polyvalent cations. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described.

A consumer product composition comprises a non-porous dissolvable solid structure comprising a carrier material, and hydrophobic conditioning agent and particulate spacer material disposed within the carrier material, wherein the hydrophobic conditioning agent has a mean particle size of from about 1 m to about 500 m and the particulate spacer material has a mean particle size of from about 55 m to about 750 m.

Methods and related systems include applying a first fluid to a hard surface, grinding the hard surface using at least one structured-abrasive pad while removing the first fluid, applying a second fluid to the hard surface, and scrubbing the hard surface using a floor bristle brush while removing the second fluid. Some surface enhancement compositions include a first nonionic surfactant including alcohol alkoxylate, a second nonionic surfactant including a different alcohol alkoxylate, and a third nonionic surfactant having an amide functional group. Other compositions include a nonionic surfactant having alcohol alkoxylate, a polymer, and a siloxane.

Cleaning compositions may include polypeptides having hexosaminidase activity. The cleaning compositions may include a polypeptide having one or more of the motif(s) [IV]P[ED][LVI]DXP[AN]H (SEQ ID NO 21), the conserved motif II NYN[AS]Y[SY]LY (SEQ ID NO 22), the conserved motif III GXDE (SEQ ID NO 41), or combinations thereof. The cleaning compositions may be or include laundry detergents, fabric finishers, acidic cleaning agents, neutral cleaning agents, alkaline cleaning agents, hand dishwashing agents, automatic dishwasher compositions, or combinations thereof.

Provided herein are solid salt base or sugar base compositions for delivering encapsulated fragrance to textiles, and processes of making and using the compositions for treating textiles. It has been discovered that, during the manufacturing process, premixing a silicon compound and a salt base or sugar base before incorporating an encapsulated fragrance slurry to the salt base or sugar base significantly decreases the encapsulate breakage rate of the solid compositions. Solid encapsulated fragrance compositions prepared by the process allows consumers to experience a long-lasting freshness of their clothes after treating their clothes with the encapsulated fragrance compositions.

Compositions include a water-soluble polymer, silica nanoparticles, and a combination of a nonionic and anionic dispersed in an aqueous liquid phase. The polymer is a water-soluble copolymer of acrylic acid and an acrylamide, or a salt of the same. Methods of using the compositions to clean and coat a substrate are also disclosed.

Process for producing a formulation that is solid at up to a temperature of at least 60 C., wherein (a) at least one nonionic surfactant of the general formula (I)

R.sup.1CH(OH)CH.sub.2-(AO).sub.xR.sup.2(I) in which the variables are defined as follows: R.sup.1 is selected from C.sub.4-C.sub.20-alkyl, R.sup.2 is selected from C.sub.8-C.sub.20-alkyl, AO are in each case identical or different and selected from C.sub.2-C.sub.4-alkylene, x is in the range from 5 to 100, is mixed in the molten state (b) with at least one second substance selected from polyethylene glycol and nonionic surfactants which are different from surfactants of the formula (I), confectioned, mixed and ground in a mill in the solid state with (c) silica or silicate and (d) at least one auxiliary selected from alkali metal citrate, alkali metal carbonate or at least one chelating agent selected from compounds of the general formula (II)

R.sup.3CH(COOM.sup.1)-N(CH.sub.2COOM.sup.1).sub.2(II) in which the variables are defined as follows: R.sup.3 is selected from C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, CH.sub.2OH and CH.sub.2CH.sub.2COOM.sup.1, M.sup.1 is an alkali metal or a combination of at least two alkali metals.

Furthermore granules and their use.

The invention relates to a granulate comprising an inorganic solid carrier with at least one biosurfactant contained thereon, as well as to formulations containing this granulate and to the use of same.

The invention includes ware detergent compositions which provides superior cleaning and removal of oily and fatty soils, without the production of excessive foam. According to the invention applicants have discovered that use of a quaternary cationic surfactant in combination with a nonionic low foaming surfactant can provide oily soil removal from ware that is superior to traditional warewash detergent formulations. Compositions for alkaline, preferably solid, warewash detergents are disclosed, as well as their use in dish machines and methods of manufacture.
