A method and composition for removing contaminant material from industrial equipment are disclosed herein. The method includes providing a solvent composition having methyl soyate, N-methylpyrrolidinone, an additional solvent, and a cationic surfactant. The method also includes contacting the contaminant material with the solvent composition and allowing the solvent composition to react with the contaminant material such that at least a portion of the contaminant material is no longer attached to the industrial equipment.

The present invention relates to a 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 on an alkyl ethoxy 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 disclosure is directed to providing a moldable solid washing agent composition and an article molded from the same. The composition of the present disclosure can be stored easily at room temperature for a long time. It is applicable to a system that can be manufactured on site and can satisfy customer needs because it can be molded immediately by a simple method and the shape, size, etc. can be controlled. In addition, the solid washing agent composition disclosed in the present specification has superior compatibility with water.

A cleaning liquid, usable for cleaning of an ink-jet recording apparatus, includes: a nonionic surfactant, solubility of the nonionic surfactant in water at 20° C. being less than 0.2% by mass; a first water-soluble organic solvent of which solubility parameter is not less than 13; a second water-soluble organic solvent of which solubility parameter is less than 12; and water. The cleaning liquid satisfies the following conditions (1) to (4):

X≥0.1;  Condition (1):

A−B≥0;  Condition (2):

B/X≥15;  Condition (3):

10≤A+B≤60.  Condition (4):

X: a content amount (% by mass) of the nonionic surfactant, A: a content amount (% by mass) of the first water-soluble organic solvent, and B: a content amount (% by mass) of the second water-soluble organic solvent.

The present invention comprises a hard surface cleaning composition including an environmentally friendly alkyl amide solvent, derived from renewable bio-based resources that works at least as well as d-limonene. In one embodiment, the present invention is a cleaning composition including an anionic surfactant salt, a saturated C.sub.8 to C.sub.10 alkyl amide solvent, a cosolvent and water. The composition is substantially free of d-limonene and can remove red food soils with up to 20 percent protein, and also functions as an asphalt removal composition.

A container system including a closeable container with at least one pouch in an interior space of the container, where the pouch includes a water-soluble film including a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) resin blend, and a perfume and organic solvent containing household care composition at least partially enclosed in a compartment by the water-soluble film.

A detergent or cleaning agent, in particular a cleaning agent for hard surfaces, especially an automatic dishwasher detergent, having a water-soluble envelope with a continuously encircling sealing seam and two phases which are different from one another.
