The application describes fragrant water-soluble packaging which contains a liquid laundry detergent or cleaning composition and a water-soluble envelope. The liquid laundry detergent or cleaning composition comprises at least 10% by weight of glycerol, a second solvent, surfactant and a perfume, where the perfume contains particular amounts of perfume constituents.

Disclosed is a liquid composition containing a solvent selected from the group consisting of mono aliphatic alcohols having two to six carbon atoms, mono-, di-, tri- or tetraalkylene glycols having two, three or four carbon atoms in the alkylene moiety, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol or glycerol, whereby each OH group may be optionally, and independently, substituted by a OR group, whereby R is alkyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and whereby the solvent optionally contains 0.01-10 wt-% of an inorganic or organic acid, and dissolved therein a mononuclear or dinuclear Mn(III) and/or Mn(IV) complex salt having a selected non-coordinating counter ion, having a water-solubility of at least 30 g/L at 20 C., and wherein the mononuclear or dinuclear Mn(III) and/or Mn(IV) complex comprises at least one cyclic triamine ligand

The liquid compositions and formulations comprising it are suitable for use in catalysing oxidation, for example as a component of a dishwasher bleaching composition. The invention further relates to cleaning agents comprising the liquid compositions described herein.

This invention refers to a synergistic composition of surfactants containing glycerine, monopropyleneglycol and organosilicone, to the procedure for preparing it and to the use of this composition as a superwetting agent.

The present invention relates to gels comprising lamellar phase compositions and water-soluble unit dose articles comprising said gels.

The disclosed invention relates to a two-part liquid composition for cleaning and disinfecting a substrate, comprising: (A) a disinfectant medium comprising peracetic acid; and (B) a supplemental medium comprising a non-enzymatic cleaner, a corrosion inhibitor, and a chelator. The supplemental medium (B) may further comprise an enzymatic cleaner, a surfactant, a buffer, a pH modifier, or a mixture of two or more thereof. The substrate may be a medical device, for example, an endoscope.

The invention provides a substrate detergent composition used for cleaning a surface of a substrate, comprising: (A) A quaternary ammonium salt: 0.1 to 2.0% by mass; (B) Water: 0.1 to 4.0% by mass; and (C) An organic solvent: 94.0 to 99.8% by mass. There can be provided a substrate detergent composition used for cleaning a surface of a substrate contaminated with a silicone component whose water contact angle is 100 or more.

A detergent emulsifier for laundry and other hard surface cleaning using an APE-free surfactant blend is disclosed. The emulsifier system is efficacious for removal of oily soils and greasy food removal. The compositions according to the invention include linear and branched fatty alcohol ethoxylates and ethoxylate propoxylate block copolymers. Methods of using the same are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a skin or surface disinfectant composition with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity comprising one or more essential oil (and/or one or more component thereof) and one or more fruit acid. The compositions of the invention may be used as non-toxic alternatives to conventional disinfectants or may be added to other antimicrobial agents to enhance their activity. The invention provides effective alternatives to harsher products which may be particularly useful in personal care and household products and where children and/or pet exposure may be a concern.

Provided is a liquid detergent composition for clothing which is formed by blending (a) a nonionic surfactant represented by Formula (1), (b) an anionic surfactant represented by Formula (2), a predetermined amount of (c) an organic solvent having one or more hydroxyl groups, and water in which the mass ratio (b)/(a) of the blending amount of the component (b) to the blending amount of the component (a) is 0.5 or more and 10 or less.

A cleaning liquid contains water, a specific organic solvent, and an acetylene surfactant. The specific organic solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyhydric alcohol and polyalkylene glycol. The specific organic solvent has a percentage content of at least 1% by mass and no greater than 18% by mas to the mass of the cleaning liquid. The acetylene surfactant has a percentage content of at least 0.3% by mass and no greater than 1.0% by mass to the mass of the cleaning liquid.
