A composition for treating a hard surface. The composition has: (a) at least one adhesion promoter; (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: anionic, non-ionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof; (c) mineral oil; (d) water; (e) optionally, at least one solvent; and wherein the composition is self-adhering upon application to a surface to be treated, and wherein the composition provides a wet film to said surface when water passes over said composition and surface.

The present invention relates to a detergent gel composition. In particular, the invention relates to a packaged detergent gel composition comprising a fatty alcohol ethoxylate; wherein the fatty alcohol ethoxylate has the formula:

RO(CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.xH wherein, R is a linear, saturated fatty alcohol, and x is an integer having a value of at least 25;
wherein the packaged detergent gel composition further comprises at least one builder selected from the group consisting of hydroxycarboxylates, aminocarboxylates, phosphates, or the salts thereof;
and wherein the packaged detergent gel composition further comprises at least one mixed alkoxylate fatty alcohol non-ionic surfactant.

Liquid laundry detergent compositions. Water-soluble unit dose articles that include a gel and a particle.

The present invention relates generally to narrow range alcohol alkoxylates and derivatives thereof, such as alkyl ether sulfates.

The present invention relates generally to narrow range alcohol alkoxylates and derivatives thereof, such as alkyl ether sulfates.

A wireless communication device (UE) may monitor grants received from respective cells associated with one or more first (e.g. licensed) frequency band(s) and one or more second (e.g. unlicensed) frequency band(s). Based on the received grants the UE may determine if an imbalance exists in the radio resource allocation, whereby the UE communicates more than intended in the second frequency band(s). The imbalance may be specified with respect to the ratio or portion of the communications that are conducted in the second frequency band(s) with respect to all wireless communications of the UE. If the UE detects an imbalance, it may transmit a report to the network (e.g. to the base station serving the UE) indicating unfavorable conditions for the UE to be operating in the second frequency band(s). In response, the network may disable the respective cell(s) associated with the second frequency band(s) and/or it may disable carrier aggregation for the UE.

The present invention relates to a surfactant booster for use in high foaming cleaning compositions. In an aspect of the invention, a C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 or C12 linear alcohol in very low amounts is added to increase surface activity, foam and wetting properties of the composition. The alcohol is added in an amount of alcohol to surfactant of about 1:100 to 1:200 and must be linear. In another aspect, the invention relates to novel cleaning compositions such as pot and pan soaking compositions, dishwashing compositions, food and beverage foaming cleaners, vehicle cleaning and the like suitable for use in hard water, which can be solid or liquid. The invention further relates to methods of making these compositions, and to methods employing these compositions.

The present invention concerns the use of C.sub.16-alkyl betaine as a fabric softener, notably for fabric softening compositions. The invention also concerns a method of treating fabric which comprises the step of contacting said fabric in the rinse cycle of a fabric washing machine with an aqueous medium containing a composition as defined herein.

Microbial oil and fat cleaning agent composition block for drainpipes and a method of producing the same. Specifically, such a composition block accommodated in a drain cap for the inlet of a drainpipe so that oils and fats adhered to the drainpipe are biodegraded by powdery microorganisms present in the composition block to maintain smooth flow of sewage, prevent oil and fats from adhering onto the drainpipe from the cleaning agent, thus cleaning the inside of the drainpipe and removing odors. The dissolved cleaning agent is discharged with sewage through the drainpipe and is collected in a water collector, and oils and fats adhered to the water collector are biodegraded by the cleaning agent to remove odor inside the water collector, prevent adhesion of oils and fats to the water collector and thus maintain excellent water quality.

The present invention relates to gels comprising lamellar phase compositions and water-soluble unit dose articles comprising said gels.
