A washing agent portion unit includes a solid washing agent or cleaning agent, and a water-soluble wrapping that completely encloses the solid washing agent or cleaning agent, wherein the water-soluble wrapping consists at least in part of a water-soluble nonwoven. The present invention further relates to a method for producing said washing agent portion unit, and to a washing method using said washing agent portion unit.

A granulate for a detergent composition, the granulate comprising a nitrogen-containing builder, wherein the granulate is at least partially coated with a coating material comprising an alkoxy polyalkylene glycol.

Solid detergent compositions designed to maintain solid integrity throughout production of the pressed solid, during mechanical conveying and during ejection from molds, are disclosed. Solid detergent compositions having unexpected immediate block hardness without a curing step are provided by inclusion of a hardness additive composition comprising a synergistic ratio of polycarboxylic acid polymer chelants to aminocarboxylate chelants. Methods of making solid detergent compositions and solid detergent compositions having at least substantially similar cleaning performance to solid detergent compositions without the hardness additive composition are also provided.

A process for making a packaged laundry detergent powder.

Water-soluble unit dose articles that include a water-soluble fibrous non-woven substrate and a particulate treatment composition, the composition including capsules, where the capsules have a shell that includes inorganic material. Related methods of treating a fabric.

Active agent-containing articles, for example fibrous structures, that exhibit consumer acceptable article in-use properties, such as article peel strength, flexibility, article dimensions, and/or dissolvability, and methods for making same are provided.

Disclosed herein are water-soluble films and resulting packets including a water-soluble film coated by a powder, wherein the powder includes a mixture of a powdered lubricant and an active agent. Optionally, the active agent may be encapsulated, e.g. microencapsulated, for release of the active agent through mechanisms including, but not limited to, mechanical rupture, melt, ablation, dissolution, diffusion, biodegradation, or pH-controlled release. Active ingredients described include enzymes, oils, flavors, colorants, odor absorbers, fragrances, pesticides, fertilizers, activators, acid catalysts, metal catalysts, ion scavengers, bleaches, bleach components, fabric softeners and combinations thereof. Examples of packet fills include laundry detergents, bleach and laundry additives, fabric care, dishwashing, hard surface cleaning, beauty care, skin care, other personal care, and foodstuffs.

A granulate for a detergent composition, the granulate comprising a nitrogen-containing builder, wherein the granulate is at least partially coated with a coating material comprising an alkoxy polyalkylene glycol.

Described herein is a household care composition, which delivers active agents onto fabric, in the form of a water-soluble unit dose article comprising a water-soluble fibrous structure and an encapsulated perfume composition, as well as methods for making the article and methods for treating fabrics using the article.

Water-soluble unit dose article comprising a liquid laundry detergent composition, wherein the liquid laundry detergent composition contains an ethoxylated secondary alcohol non-ionic surfactant.
