The present disclosure relates to an automatic dishwasher detergent which comprises metal complex of formula M.sup.n+L(Am.sup.m−).sub.n/m, wherein M is a metal cation, A is an arbitrary anion, n and m are integers selected from 1 to 6, and L is a neutral ligand of formula (II), wherein each X is as defined herein, and which exhibits improved cleaning performance in the removal of burnt-on soiling, to the use of this dishwasher detergent, and to a method for automatically washing dishes using this dishwasher detergent.

The present invention relates to a method of making a solid cleaning composition. The method can include pressing and/or vibrating a flowable solid of a self-solidifying cleaning composition. For a self-solidifying cleaning composition, pressing and/or vibrating a flowable solid determines the shape and density of the solid but is not required for forming a solid. The method can employ a concrete block machine for pressing and/or vibrating. The present invention also relates to a solid cleaning composition made by the method and to solid cleaning compositions including particles bound together by a binding agent.

A method for manufacturing an automatic dishwashing composition in the form of a non-aqueous gel, the method comprising: (i) combining one or more non-ionic surfactants, a polar non-aqueous solvent and a rheology modifier to form a non-aqueous gel, the non-aqueous gel having a pH of less than 7 when measured as a dilution of 1 part in 100 parts of water by weight, wherein the rheology modifier is an alkali-swellable emulsion polymer or a hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable emulsion polymer; and (ii) adding to the non-aqueous gel one or more active agents selected from the group consisting of builders, surfactants, polymers, enzymes, bleaching agents, bleach activators, bleach catalysts and corrosion inhibitors to form the automatic dishwashing composition.

An automatic dishwashing product comprising a bleaching agent and a compound in accordance with formula (1) or a salt or tautomer thereof, wherein A and B are independently selected from the group consisting of H, OR.sup.1, and NHR.sup.2, wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H and C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl, with the proviso that A and B are not both H and are not both OH.

A tablet for forming a liquid dishwash composition on dissolution in water comprising from 0.1 to 40% wt. surfactant, an effervescent, an acid salt selected from sodium bisulphate, monosodium phosphate and mixture thereof, and a disintegrant.

A novel binder and/or disintegrant for obtaining a compressed solid composition for non-oral use, the binder and/or disintegrant being fermented molasses, a process for preparing the compressed solid composition and also a binding and/or disintegrating composition, which includes at least fermented molasses. The fermented molasses advantageously makes it possible to replace synthetic binders conventionally used in compressed solid compositions, while also being able to act as a disintegrant on contact with a liquid, especially water. Thus, a novel way is proposed for utilizing a product which was hitherto solely used in the field of agriculture and livestock farming.

A cleaning agent portion including a water-soluble wrapping and at least one composition for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher, the composition containing at least i) an acid and/or ii) a buffer system consisting of at least one acid and at least one base, wherein the composition includes at least two parts, at least one part A being a compressed part and at least one part B being a non-compressed part or a further compressed part, an optionally compressed part B being compressed to a lesser extent than part A. The invention also relates to a method for producing the cleaning agent portions. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher using the cleaning agent portion. The invention also relates to the use of and/or a method using the cleaning agent portion for cleaning and/or caring for an automatic dishwasher.
