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

The present invention relates to cleaning compositions suitable for cleaning and disinfecting non-horizontal surfaces. The invention comprises an ether carboxylate or ether sulphate in combination with an amphoteric surfactant and with a non-ionic surfactant at a certain ratio which can be applied preferably in the form of foam at room temperature, preferably for the use in industrial and institutional cleaning products. A cleaning composition comprises: (a) One or more compounds of formula (I)
R.sup.1O(CH.sub.2CH(R.sup.2)O).sub.n(CH.sub.2CH.sub.2O).sub.mX.sup.(A).sub.1/z.sup.z+(I) wherein X.sup. is a CH.sub.2COO.sup. group or a SO.sub.3.sup. group, preferably a CH.sub.2COO.sup. group, R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl or alkenyl chain having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms, R2 is a C1-C3 linear or branched alkyl chain, A is a suitable countercation, n and m are 0 or an integer number between 1 to 30, wherein the sum of m+n is at from 0 to 30, preferably from 1 to 15, and z is 1, 2, or 3; (b) one or more amphoteric surfactants (c) a non-ionic surfactant (d) water up to 100 wt % with respect to the total weight of the composition wherein the molar ratio between the sum of the components (a) and (b) and component (c), that is ((a)+(b))/(c), is from 3 to 16.5, preferably from 3.7 to 15.9.

A cleaning composition, which is self-adhering upon application to a hard surface, is provided. The cleaning composition includes an adhesion promoter, water and a sufficient amount of a basic agent, such that a mixture of the composition with deionized water has a pH of at least about 10. The adhesion promoter typically includes one or more organic compounds, each containing at least one hydrophilic group. The cleaning compositions may also include at least one surfactant selected from the group of: anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, and/or zwitterionic surfactants; where one or more of the surfactants may serve all or in part as the adhesion promoter.

A composition comprising a population of core/shell delivery particles, where the shell includes a polymeric material formed from a cross-linked amine-containing biopolymer, and where the core includes a fragrance material that includes ester-containing perfume raw materials.
