The present invention relates generally to compositions containing an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkoxylated alkyl sulfates, and mixtures thereof, and a solvent, particularly a solvent comprising one or more diols.

A method of cleaning dishware in a domestic dishwasher using a program having a cleaning cycle and a rinse cycle, the method includes the steps of placing the dishware in the dishwasher; delivering a cleaning composition into the cleaning cycle to form a wash liquor and subjecting the dishware to the wash liquor; and delivering a rinse composition to form a rinse liquor, the composition includes an amphiphilic graft polymer based on water-soluble polyalkylene oxides as a graft base and side chains formed by polymerization of a vinyl ester component, wherein said amphiphilic graft polymer is water-soluble or water-dispersible and has a weight average molar mass (Mw) of from about 3,000 to about 100,000 and subjecting the dishware to the rinse liquor.

A low dose of borax and of liquid detergent is delivered to wash water in a multi-chamber single dose unit containing borax in a powder chamber and a liquid detergent in a liquid chamber. The treatment removes proteinaceous stains without a proteinase enzyme.

Treatment compositions, such as fabric care or dish care compositions, that include poly alpha-1,6-glucan ether compounds, which include poly alpha-1,6-glucans substituted with at least one positively charged organic group, the compounds being characterized by, for example, a degree of substitution of about 0.001 to about 3.0, and optionally, where about 3% or more of the backbone glucose monomer units have branches via alpha-1,2- and/or alpha-1,3-glycosidic linkages. Methods related to making and using such compositions.

A water-soluble container made up of two halves that seal together, each containing a plurality of chambers that may receive a cleaning substance, commonly a liquid or powder. This container is formed from four, water-soluble, flexible membranes with each half made up of two of the four membranes; a shaped membrane, and a non-shaped membrane, wherein the shaped membrane seals to the non-shaped membrane to form the plurality of physically distinct chambers. Each half is sealed independently to the other half and are subsequently sealed together at their non-shaped membranes to form the water-soluble container resulting in the outer surface of the container to be shaped on both opposing sides.

A system and a related method for forming a multi-chamber package are disclosed. The system includes a single web of a film material extending in a machine direction and defining a plurality of lateral lanes extending contiguously in a cross-machine direction, orthogonal to the machine direction. The system also includes a forming arrangement configured to interact with the web to form chambers along a second lane of the plurality of lateral lanes in the machine direction, a first filling device configured to deposit a first substance into one or more of the formed chambers of the second lane, and a first folding mechanism configured to form a fold between the lateral lanes in the machine direction such that a first lane of the plurality of lateral lanes is directed to overlie the one or more formed chambers of the second lane.

Films including a water-soluble layer and a vapor-deposited organic coating are disclosed. The films can optionally further include a vapor-deposited inorganic layer. The films exhibit enhanced barrier properties.

Cleaning agents, preferably dishwashing detergents, in particular the automatic dishwashing detergent, having at least one low-water, preferably substantially anhydrous gel-like phase which contains at least one water-soluble zinc salt, preferably zinc sulfate and/or zinc acetate, particularly preferably zinc acetate.
