Liquid cleaning agent concentrate comprising: a. at least one phosphonate, b. a first complexing agent selected from aminopolycarboxylic acids, hydroxycarboxylic acids, hydroxypolycarboxylic acids and their salts, and c. at least one enzyme, preferably proteolytic enzyme, a pH of the liquid cleaning agent concentrate being 9 or >9). The invention also relates to a ready-to-use solution; to uses thereof for cleaning and/or disinfecting objects and to cleaning methods.

Disclosed is the use of a preservative composition comprising or consisting of glycolipids, said glycolipids being selected from at least one spirostan-3-glycosides according to formula (I), A to D.

A dissolvable solid structure with a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes from about 20% to about 100%, by weight of the first layer, of a first water-soluble polymer. The second layer includes from about 1% to about 50%, by weight of the second layer, of a second water-soluble polymer, a high melting point fatty material having an average carbon chain length C12-C22 and a melting point above 25 C., and a cationic surfactant. The dissolvable solid structure can provide improved flexibility and solubility in a composition, such as water, while having a sufficient structural integrity during manufacturing.

A laundry composition is disclosed comprising a plurality of particles, wherein the particle comprises from 20 to 95% by weight of a water-soluble carrier selected from a carbohydrate, an inorganic alkali metal salt, an organic alkali metal salt, an inorganic alkaline earth metal salt, an organic alkaline earth metal salt, a urea and mixtures thereof; from 5 to 15% by weight of an anionic surfactant selected from alkyl sulfate, alkyl ether sulfate, soap, and mixtures thereof; and from 0.1 to 30% by weight of benefit agents; wherein the water-soluble carrier comprises a carbohydrate selected from sugar, sugar alcohol, and mixtures thereof; and wherein the composition comprises less than 1.5% by weight of alkylbenzene sulfonates.

Disclosed herein are aqueous detergent compositions including: (A) at least one polymer including: (a) a backbone that is derived from an aliphatic compound with at least 4 amino groups per molecule of which at least one amino group is a (CH.sub.2).sub.aNH.sub.2 group, the variable a being selected from 2 to 4, where at least 40 mol-% of the (CH.sub.2).sub.nNH.sub.2 groups are converted with (b) a sugar based on a mono-, di- or polysaccharide under formation of a secondary amino group of the general formula (CH.sub.2).sub.aNHCH.sub.2.
