A process for making a particle, the particle includes: a) a nitrogen-containing cleaning-active in the form of a salt wherein the salt has a pH in 1% weight aqueous solution measured at 25 C. greater than 9; and b) a malodor-reducing agent including an acid group wherein the process includes the step of adding the malodor-reducing agent to the nitrogen-containing cleaning-active wherein the malodor-reducing agent is added in the absence of water.

The present disclosure relates to an automatic dishwasher detergent which comprises metal complex of formula M.sup.n+L(A.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.

A highly alkaline detergent is described which includes the use of a carboxylic acid terpolymer in combination with an alkali metal hydroxide. The detergent maintains cleaning functions and also prevents hard water scaling at application temperatures, for example at temperatures of between about 145-180 degrees Fahrenheit and, for example, at a pH of 9.5 to about 13.

This invention relates to new formulation aids, as well as to the production thereof, to the uses thereof and to the formulations comprising them.
