The present disclosure provides a detergent composition comprising about 10 to about 25 wt % water, about 20 to about 40 wt % of at least one surfactant, and about 30 to about 60 wt % of a non-aqueous solvent comprising glycerin and a non-reducing sugar, wherein the water activity is less than 0.8, and the detergent composition has a pH of about 5 to 7.7. The detergent composition can further comprise additional components, such as a base, a performance polymer, an anti-redeposition agent, an enzyme, a chelating agent, an optical brightener, a corrosion inhibitor, or a combination thereof. The detergent composition comprises surfactants with improved mildness and solvents with reduced allergic components.

Disclosed are unit dose detergent compositions including a pouch having at least one chamber, the pouch made of a water-soluble material, and a detergent composition encapsulated within the at least one chamber, the detergent composition having a sugar amine, a non-aqueous solvent, one or more nonionic and/or anionic surfactants and water.

Disclosed are detergent compositions having a sugar amine, a non-aqueous solvent, an alcohol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant and water. The detergent compositions can have from about 0.01 to about 2 wt % of the sugar amine, from about 20 to about 50 wt % of the non-aqueous solvent, and from about 15 to about 40 wt % of the alcohol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant. Advantageously, the detergent compositions can be free of one or all of propylene glycol, linear alkyl sulfonates and linear alkylbenzene sulfonates.

Single unit dose detergent packs are provided including a pouch formed from a film polymer and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes an alditol as a sustainable solvent ingredient.

The present invention provides a water-soluble laundry sheet comprising a detergent ingredient for laundry, a water-soluble film-forming polymer, and an alkali binder, wherein the laundry sheet comprises any one or more selected from the group consisting of polyols and metal ion chlorides. The present invention provides a water-soluble laundry sheet with enhanced formulation stability, storage stability, and sheet solubility.

Certain booster compositions and methods of using the booster compositions to clean fermentation equipment are disclosed. The booster compositions are useful in environments with variable, changing, unstable, or limited alkalinity sources found within fermentation equipment.

A method for manufacturing a detergent portion unit including a dimensionally stable gel. A mixture of a detergent and a gelling agent is provided and fed to a shaping device, such that the mixture is at least partially solidified in the shaping device and a solid gel strand is discharged. The strand is transported using a transport device and the solid gel strand is cut to length using an ultrasonic blade to form the solid gel unit.

A self-preserved liquid detergent composition useful for laundry applications is disclosed. The liquid detergent composition has a water activity that enables it to be self-preserving, and it does not contain a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, a preservative, or propylene glycol, thus improving mildness. The liquid detergent composition further comprises a saccharide derivative comprising a non-reducing sugar or sugar alcohol such as sorbitol thus enabling the composition to not undergo browning reactions with amines such as found when proteins, amino acids and the like are encountered in laundry applications.

Alkaline sprayable aqueous compositions for cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting are disclosed. In particular, the sprayable compositions include an alkali soluble emulsion polymer, an alkalinity source, a foaming agent, and water. Beneficially, the sprayable cleaning compositions have reduced misting and are environmentally safe for users to apply. Further the compositions exhibit less running on non-horizontal surfaces than acrylamide-based compositions.
