A gellable vehicle surface cleaning composition is provided that includes a non-ionic surfactant combined with gelling components of an inorganic gel forming substance and at least one water soluble polymer in a ratio of the inorganic gel forming substance to the hydrophilic polymer of between 0.1-1:1. The non-ionic surfactant and the gelling components are provided in an aqueous solvent system. The aqueous solvent system includes a first solvent having a Kamlet-Taft solvent polarity α (K-T α) value of zero, a second solvent having a K-T α 0.6-0.85 value, and water present at more than 50 total weight percent. A process of for cleaning a vehicle surface with a stain is also provided that includes the composition to the stain on the vehicle surface a composition and after allowing sufficient time for the composition to lift the stain, the stain and the composition are removed from the vehicle surface.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaning product comprising a spray dispenser and a cleaning composition housed in the spray dispenser, where the cleaning composition comprises an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant, a surfactant selected from amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof, and one or more quaternary ammonium surfactants, and where the product provides good initial and sustained sudsing during the wash, as well as improved rinsing.

Provided are a wiping detergent composition for textile products capable of, when wiping a stain derived from food or the like attached to a textile product using a detergent liquid, not only reducing the degree of soiling of the stain portion, but also reducing the spread of the stain around the stain portion, and a method for removing a stain attached to a textile product using the same. A wiping detergent composition for textile products containing the following component (a1) in an amount of 0.3 mass % or more and 10 mass % or less, the following component (b) in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more, and water, wherein the mass ratio of the content of component (a1) to the content of component (b), (a1)/(b), is 0.6 or more and 50 or less, component (a1): one or more surfactants selected from a nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 9 or more and 16.0 or less and an anionic surfactant, and component (b): an organic solvent having a hydroxyl group with a ClogP of −2.0 or more and less than 1.0.

The invention relates to a wetting composition comprising a surfactant selected from a non-ionic, cationic, anionic and amphoteric surfactant in combination with from 10 to less than 50 wt % of at least one C10 to C14 alcohol and 10 to 30 wt % of a C4-C6 oxygen containing co-solvent, to methods for using the wetting composition and products containing the wetting composition.

A process for fermenting and recycling food waste that is fully enclosed, eliminating noxious odors, and therefore installable in a wide variety of urban settings at scale. Generally the steps of the process include intake, shredding and grinding, inoculation and acceleration, heterolactic fermentation, separation of solids and liquids, drying and distillation, and post-processing of liquid and solid byproducts. The result of the process includes useful goods such as nutrient-rich soil fertilizer, household cleaning agent, energy in the form of current or hydrogen, and treated water. The process is energy efficient and self-contained, resulting in the processing of food waste within 7 days, thus dramatically reducing the time of traditional fermentation processes to produce desired byproducts.

Detergent compositions effective for controlling hard water scale accumulation are described herein. In particular, the compositions combine a tetrapolymer with an alkaline composition to effectively prevent or remove calcium carbonate scale formations. Methods of employing the detergent compositions and of preventing scale accumulation are provided for use in alkaline warewash and other applications.

An underwater cavitation jet cleaning system provided with an automatic metering feeder for cleaning solution organically integrates a cavitation jet technology with the improvement of cleaning solutions, which can not only increase bubbles can be during jet, but also is beneficial for removing hull dirt. An eddy segment of a nozzle is arranged as a spiral passage, and the eddy segment is gradually reduced from a water inlet to a water outlet, so that a speed of fluid becomes further faster. A volume of an in-pipe chamber of a barrel is different, and the fluid is pulsed while flowing through the barrel, so that the fluid is finally ejected from the nozzle of a cleaning gun, which efficiently improves the cavitation rate, and increases the generation of cavitation nucleus.

The present invention is related to a sodium and potassium soap sponge and method of making it.

A blade rinse composition comprising about 0.0001 to 0.01 wt. % disodium tetraborate decahydrate, about 0.0001 to 0.01 wt. % cationic surfactant, up to 5 wt. % anhydrous alcohol, and deionized water is disclosed, together with methods of making and using the same. The composition may prevent oxidation and/or contamination of metal blades and premature dullness of the blades.
