The present disclosure is in the fields of household and industrial cleaning, particularly in applications for cleaning laundry. In one aspect the present disclosure provides liquid unit dose detergent product, having: (a) a container formed from a water-soluble or water-dispensible film material; and (b) a liquid composition having: (i) at least one surfactant; (ii) at least one encapsulated fragrance; and (iii) a solvent system that includes at least one low density organic solvent having a density less than 1.0 g/mL and at least one high density organic solvent having a density greater than 1.0 g/mL; wherein the water-soluble or water-dispensible film material forms a container that entraps the liquid composition.

A method is used for cleaning heat exchanger systems. The method is performed at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. The method determines component percentages of a cleaning solution based, at least in part, on operational parameters of a heat exchanger system. The operational parameters include chemical composition of fluids passing through the heat exchanger system and operating temperatures of the fluids passing through the heat exchanger system. The component percentages of the cleaning solution include: (1) hydrogen peroxide, 2-90 wt. %; (2) a complexing agent, 3-30 wt. %; (3) water-soluble calixarene, 0.01-10 wt. %; and (4) water. The complexing agent includes a polybasic organic acid or a sodium salt thereof, or a derivative of phosphorous acid.

A liquid laundry detergent composition suitable for formulation into a water-soluble unit dose article, wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition includes a. an anionic surfactant, b. 1,2-propanediol; c. dipropylene glycoland a water-soluble unit dose article including said liquid laundry detergent composition.

Water-soluble unit dose article including a water-soluble film and a liquid laundry detergent composition, wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition includes; a) an anionic surfactant; b) a non-ionic surfactant; c) 1,2-propanediol; d. dipropylene glycol.

An aqueous formulation includes a) one or more proteolytic enzymes, b) one or more anionic surfactants, c) one or more non-ionic surfactants, d) one or more corrosion inhibitors, e) one or more multivalent aliphatic alcohols, f) one or more complexing agents, and g) one or more of para-hydroxybenzoic acid and esters thereof. The pH value of the formulation is in the range of from 9. to 12.5. The formulation is used in the mechanical cleaning of hard surfaces, in particular of medical instruments, and is preferably silicate free.

The present invention provides a transparent or translucent, self-standing, automatic dishwashing gel, comprising a water-soluble C.sub.14-C.sub.22 fatty acid salt, at least 50 wt % liquid non-ionic surfactant, less than 15 wt % water, and optionally a polar organic solvent.

The present invention provides a transparent solid detergent containing (A) N-acyl acidic amino acid salt, (B) acylglycine salt and (C) polyvalent alcohol, at a proportion of (A) 4.5-5000 parts by weight and (C) 2.5-2400 parts by weight, per 1 part by weight of (B), which suppresses coloration by heating during production, is superior in preservation stability at low temperature and high temperature, is low irritant, and shows good sense of use.

The present invention relates to processes for the preparation of compounds of the formula (Ia) ##STR00001##
by reacting styrene with a secondary alkanol and the hydrogenation of the resulting phenyl-substituted tertiary alkanol. In addition, the invention relates to compounds of the formula (Ia) and to the use of such compounds as fragrances, and also to compositions which comprise compounds of the formulae (Ia) and (Ib).

A composition for treating a hard surface. The composition has: (a) at least one adhesion promoter; (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: anionic, non-ionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof; (c) mineral oil; (d) water; (e) optionally, at least one solvent; and wherein the composition is self-adhering upon application to a surface to be treated, and wherein the composition provides a wet film to said surface when water passes over said composition and surface.
