A bio resin agent cleaner and protectant for painted automotive surface finishes, clear coat finishes, fiberglass, chrome, rubber, plastic, gel coat, aluminum, steel, and glass surfaces. In addition to cleaning and protecting the product leaves a semi permanent gloss on most all surfaces. The bio resin agent cleaner and protectant may be a soy bio resin, a grapeseed bio resin, a sunflower bio resin, a vegetable based bio resin, or any equivalent bio resin, for example a soy methyl ester based from soy oil. In one embodiment the bio resin agent cleaner and protectant is a bio resin combined with surfactants and emulsifiers. The bio resin agent addresses the needs for cleaning and protecting painted automotive surfaces.

The invention provides a polymer providing soil release properties (also termed a soil release polymer or SRP) when incorporated in a laundry detergent composition, the polymer comprising a capped polyoxyalkylene end block connected to a polyester segment; the polyester segment comprising alternating B.sup.1-A-B.sup.2 and R units; in which B.sup.1 and B.sup.2 are each independently selected from OC(O) and C(O)O groups; A is a 2,5-furanylene ring and R is a divalent alkylene radical. The polymer provides good compatibility, stability and cleaning performance when incorporated into a laundry detergent composition, preferably a liquid laundry detergent composition, comprising one or more detersive surfactants.

Polysaccharides can be used to provide a liquid composition with desirable rheological properties while being compatible with other ingredients, such as enzymes, that may be used in formulating the liquid composition. The polysaccharides can be i) a colloidal dispersion of poly alpha-1,3-glucan, ii) poly alpha-1,3-glucan fibrids, iii) soy polysaccharide; or iv) a combination thereof.

The present disclosure relates to detergent compositions that comprise renewable components and exhibit good performance, as compared to both traditional detergent formulations that contain non-renewable ingredients and known detergent formulations that contain renewable components.

Liquid detergent compositions with polymer blends to provide a stable aqueous use solution of a highly alkaline detergent composition are provided. The liquid detergent composition include concentrates and use solutions with blends of alkali-swellable polymers (ASE) and hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable polymers (HASE). Methods for washing textiles using the liquid detergent compositions are also provided.

Alkoxylated polycarboxylic acid esters are provided obtainable by first reacting an aromatic polycarboxylic acid containing at least three carboxylic acid units or anhydrides derived therefrom, preferably an aromatic polycarboxylic acid containing three or four carboxylic acid units or anhydrides derived therefrom, more preferably an aromatic polycarboxylic acid containing three carboxylic acid units or anhydrides derived therefrom, even more preferably trimellitic acid or trimellitic acid anhydride, most preferably trimellitic acid anhydride, with an alcohol alkoxylate and in a second step reacting the resulting product with an alcohol or a mixture of alcohols, preferably with an alcohol.

The present invention relates to a method for treating fabrics by contacting the fabrics with an aqueous wash liquor at varying pH values that increase from about 7-9 to about 10-13 (optionally down to about 7-9), maintaining such contact at pH 10-13 for about 5-30 minutes, followed by contacting the fabrics with an aqueous rinse liquor at an acid pH value of about 4-6. Such method provides a significantly improved stain removal benefit without any formulation changes. Further, it enables the use of laundry detergent compositions that are essentially free of alkoxylated surfactants, such as alkylalkoxylated sulfates or alkylalkoxylated alcohols, while still delivering satisfactory stain removal results.

Provided herein are solid textile treating compositions; compositions containing colorants stabilized with one or more colorant stabilizers; compositions containing colorants that do not need to be stabilized by one or more colorant stabilizers; solid wash cycle conditioning agents; liquid textile treating compositions; cleaning agent compositions containing these; methods of making these; methods of treating textiles with these; textiles treated by these; containers containing the compositions; and methods of visually designating when a composition has reached or passed its pull date.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a spray-dried laundry detergent particle, wherein the process includes the step of contacting zeolite to monomeric organic carboxylic acid in an aqueous mixture, wherein the aqueous mixture has a pH of 4.2 or less, wherein the aqueous mixture includes detersive surfactant, wherein the aqueous mixture is substantially free of silicate salt, and wherein the aqueous mixture is substantially free of carbonate salt, wherein the zeolite reacts with the monomeric organic carboxylic acid to form silica, wherein the aqueous mixture is spray-dried to form a spray-dried laundry detergent particle, wherein the particle includes: detersive surfactant; monomeric organic carboxylic acid; and silica, wherein the particle is substantially free of silicate salt, and wherein the particle is substantially free of carbonate salt.

Cleaning compositions which can be used to clean surfaces and treat materials.
