A single unit dose article includes a water-soluble core substrate comprising a water-soluble resin. The water-soluble core substrate contains a carrier solvent with an active cleaning formulation, wherein upon contact of the carrier solvent with the water-soluble core substrate, the water-soluble core substrate exhibits shrinkage or swelling. Also disclosed are methods of making the single unit dose article.

A unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes at least two surfactants including from about 3 to about 20% by weight of alkyl polyglycoside and from about 15 to about 70% by weight of an additional surfactant, from about 13 to about 34% by weight of a fatty acid thereof, and less than about 30% by weight of water, with all weight percents based on a total weight of the liquid detergent composition.

A film: (a) 50 to 85 wt % polymer comprising: (i) 30 to 70 wt % hard polymer with T.sub.g from 40 to 70° C. and 40 to 80 wt % (C.sub.1-C.sub.10)alkyl (meth)acrylate; 10 to 40 wt % C.sub.3-C.sub.8 carboxylic acid; and 0 to 25 wt % hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate; and (ii) 30 to 70 wt % soft polymer with T.sub.g from −20 to 20 ° C. and 50 to 90 wt % (C.sub.1-C.sub.10)alkyl (meth)acrylate; 5 to 30 wt % C.sub.3-C.sub.8 carboxylic acid; and 0 to 25 wt % hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate;
hard T.sub.g minus soft T.sub.g is at least 30° C.; (iii) 0 to 10 wt %, of (C.sub.12-C.sub.24)alkyl (meth)acrylate polymer containing crystallizable portion with T.sub.m from 0° C. to 37° C.; (b) 10 to 40 wt % of polyethylene oxide having M.sub.w from 250,000 to 4,000,000; and (c) 0 to 10 wt % of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) having M.sub.w from 25,000 to 2,000,000.

Liquid detergent compositions, single dose packs including the same, and methods of forming single dose packs are provided herein. In an embodiment, a liquid detergent composition includes an ionic surfactant, an alkoxylated linear fatty acid structurant, and, optionally, a particulate component. The structurant is solid at ambient temperature of about 21° C. and ambient pressure of about 100 kPa. The particulate component is different from the structurant. The detergent composition exhibits non-Newtonian fluid behavior at 24 hours following shear mixing cessation.

The invention relates to a flowable washing agent preparation containing, based on the total weight thereof, a) 2 to 20 wt. % anionic surfactant from the group of C.sub.8-18 alkylbenzene sulfonates; b) 0.05 to 2 wt. % of a preparation of a pectinolytic enzyme; c) less than 20 wt. % water, to washing agent portion units containing these washing agent preparations and to washing methods using these washing agent preparations or washing agent portion units.

An article is provided herein which includes an aqueous liquid detergent and a package for the aqueous liquid detergent which is in direct contact with the aqueous liquid detergent, wherein the package is formed from a water-soluble, film-forming material. The aqueous liquid detergent includes at least one non-linear surfactant.

A water-soluble film for a liquid detergent-packaging capsule does not cause discoloration, can prevent precipitate of inorganic salts such as sulfites and sulfates contained in the packaging capsule or the liquid detergent, can prevent whitening due to precipitate, can maintain the haptics of the packaging capsule containing the liquid detergent and keep a good appearance over time. A liquid detergent is sealed in the water-soluble film. The film contains an anionic-group modified polyvinyl alcohol resin, a plasticizer including glycerin and sorbitol at a mass ratio of 1:2.1 to 5.3, and a sulfite, and is characterized in that the total contained amount of the glycerin and the sorbitol is 21-39 parts by mass, and the contained amount of the sulfite is 0.1-1.9 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the anionic-group modified polyvinyl alcohol resin.

The present disclosure relates to pouches made from a combination of chemically different water-soluble films and optionally containing a composition (e.g. a household care composition or non-household care composition) that is at least partially enclosed by the water-soluble films in at least one compartment.

A water-soluble film is provided, which is less susceptible to curling even after long-term storage. The water-soluble film includes a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A) , and has a first surface, which has a crystal Unity index Xa, and a second surface, which is opposite to the first surface and has a crystallinity index Xb, where: Xa≥Xb; Xa−Xb is from 0.015 to 0.10; and the crystallinity indexes Xa and Xb are measured through an infrared spectroscopic analysis by an attenuated total reflection method and represented by: ABS.sub.1141/ABS.sub.1093, wherein ABS.sub.1141 and ABS.sub.1093 are absorbances at wavenumbers of 1141 cm.sup.−1 and 1093 cm.sup.−1, respectively.

Water-soluble film and unit dose articles made therefrom, where the water-soluble film includes a water-soluble polymer, where the water-soluble polymer includes a blend of a caseinate polymer and a polyvinyl alcohol homopolymer.
