A method of adjusting dispense rate of a solid detergent block of a detergent composition is described here. A solid detergent block is produced from this method may have a predetermined dispense rate or a comparable dispense rate as a solid detergent block produced by extruding method. A process for producing a solid detergent block and a solid detergent composition are also disclosed.

The invention provides a cleaning formulation comprising a multiplicity of solid cleaning particles, wherein the solid cleaning particles comprise polymeric particles and at least one cleaning agent, wherein the at least one cleaning agent is immobilised on the surface of the polymeric particles. Typically the at least one cleaning agent is immobilised on the surface of the polymeric particles by means of chemical bonds, typically ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, polar bonds, or bonds formed by virtue of unequal charge distributions between polymeric particles and immobilised materials. The invention also provides a method for the cleaning of a substrate, the method comprising the treatment of the substrate with a formulation according to the invention, and a method for the preparation of the cleaning formulation of the invention which comprises treating a multiplicity of polymeric particles with at least one cleaning agent.

Fibrous structures containing a plurality of wood pulp fibers and a surface having thereon a surface softening composition containing a metathesized unsaturated polyol ester having one or more of the following properties: (i) a weight average molecular weight of from about 5,000 Daltons to about 50,000 Daltons; (ii) an oligomer index from greater than 0 to 1; and (iii) an iodine value of from about 30 to about 200
is provided.

A leuco polymer comprising a polyethylenimine and at least one leuco moiety covalently bound to the polyethylenimine, wherein the polyethylenimine comprises three or more amine nitrogen atoms and 1 mol. % or more of amine hydrogen atoms in the polyethylenimine are replaced with a moiety selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxypropyl, 1-hydroxypropane-2-yl, and polyalkoxy groups. Methods of making the leuco polymer, laundry care compositions comprising the leuco polymer and methods of treating textiles with such laundry care compositions.

A cleaning agent for cleaning polymer processing equipment, a method for producing such cleaning agent and the use of such cleaning agent for cleaning polymer processing equipment or any component thereof. The cleaning agent comprises i) a thermoplastic resin and ii) a foaming agent selected from alkali metal and ammonium bicarbonates.

A process for flushing an oligomerization reactor is described, including flushing the oligomerization reactor with a flushing medium comprising C.sub.6 linear alpha olefins, C.sub.8 linear alpha olefins, C.sub.10 linear alpha olefins, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing, to provide a purge stream comprising the C.sub.6 linear alpha olefins, C.sub.8 linear alpha olefins, C.sub.10 linear alpha olefins, or a combination including at least one of the foregoing, and a polymer byproduct of an oligomerization reaction. A process for the oligomerization of an olefin is also described, wherein the process includes oligomerizing the olefin in the reactor to form a reaction product stream comprising linear alpha olefins, and subsequently flushing the oligomerization reactor according to the process disclosed herein.

A unit dose fabric conditioner that contains a combination of a polyol, alkoxylated alcohol, and dispersing polymer to allow for incorporation of encapsulated fragrance slurries into unit dose fabric conditioners to disperse the encapsulated fragrance and fabric conditioner active during laundering.

A detergent in the form of an envelope including a water-repellent component such that, even when wet laundry is stored, the shape stability of the detergent in the form of the envelope can be maintained.

The present invention relates to treatment compositions containing polymer systems that provide stability and benefit agent deposition as well as methods of making and using same. Such treatment compositions may be used for example as through the wash and/or through the rinse fabric enhancers as well as unit dose treatment compositions.
