Described herein are hard-surface cleaning compositions comprising: an alkyl polyglycoside; an organic solvent comprising a diol having the formula: C.sub.nH.sub.2n(OH).sub.2, wherein n=3 to 10 and mixtures thereof; an alpha hydroxy acid; and a humectant. Methods of making and using these hard-surface cleaning compositions are also described herein.

A method of depositing bacterial spores on a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric, includes contacting the fabric with an aqueous liquor comprising at least 1×10.sup.2 CFU/l of the aqueous liquor, of bacterial spores wherein the aqueous liquor is substantially free of fabric conditioning agent.

A low-viscosity liquid detergent composition comprising an antifoam and a non-ionic surfactant.

Evaporation of water from an aqueous dispersion of a solid peroxide such as benzoyl peroxide is retarded by the incorporation of carboxylic acid salt. The carboxylic acid salt renders the aqueous dispersion less susceptible to explosive decomposition when exposed to external triggering events such as impact, heat, friction or contamination, yet does not interfere with the ability to achieve and maintain a stable, small particle size dispersion having desirable viscosity and flow properties.

Provided are formulations that offer a high cleaning effect on inorganic particles, organic residues, chemical residues, reaction products on the surface due to interaction of the wafer surface with the Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) slurry and elevated levels of undesirable metals on the surface left on the semiconductor devices after the CMP. The post-CMP cleaning formulations comprise one or more organic acid, one or more polymer and a fluoride compound with pH<7 and optionally a surfactant with two sulfonic acid groups.

A system and method for a metal sequestration composition comprising combining a galactaric salt or galactaric acid with a metalloid oxyanion, and an alkali compound. The system and method enable the production of a metal sequestration composition that either alone or in combination with other functional components (e.g. surfactants, solvents, pH modifiers) provide water treatment or cleaning compositions.

The application relates to a shaped detergent product comprising 10-100 wt. % of a solid amorphous phase and 0-90 wt. % of one or more other solid phases, wherein the solid amorphous phase comprises 25-88 wt. % free acid equivalent of aminopolycarboxylate, 10-60 wt. % free acid equivalent of an acid, wherein the acid is not an aminopolycarboxylate, 2-30 wt. % water, and wherein the shaped detergent product contains at least 0.5 wt. % surfactant.

The present application relates to the technical field of daily cleaning and washing products, and particularly to a double layer detergent tablet and a preparation method thereof. The double layer detergent tablet includes a color absorbing fiber and a solid detergent adhered to the color absorbing fiber, the solid detergent includes the following components by mass percentage: 8-30% of polyvinyl alcohol, 10-40% of surfactant, 0.5-5% of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 1-5% of glycerin, 0.5-5% of water softener, 0.1-1% of plant essence, 14-79.9% of deionized water. The surfactant is a mixture of an anionic surfactant and a non-ionic surfactant; the anionic surfactant is a mixture of sodium coco-sulfate and sodium alpha-olefin sulfonate; and the non-ionic surfactant is a mixture of alkyl glycoside, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, isomeric alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and fatty acid methyl ester ethoxy compound.

A solid particulate composition including, based on the total weight of the composition, a) 20 to 95 wt. % of at least one water-soluble carrier material selected from hydrous salts of which the water vapor partial pressure corresponds, at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100° C., to the H.sub.2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of salt; b) 0.1 to 20 wt. % fragrance; and c) 0.1 to 30 wt. % of at least one textile-care compound. The invention further relates to the use and a method for the preparation of a solid particulate composition.

Described herein are complexes comprising a cationic antibacterial agent and a metal salt, personal care compositions comprising same; along with methods of making and using these complexes and compositions.
