A clothing processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a cabinet having a receiving space formed therein, in which clothing is received, a holder configured to be located in the receiving space to hold a clothing supporter configured to support the clothing, a steamer configured to spray steam toward the clothing while moving inside the receiving space in the vertical direction, an elevating motor configured to provide an elevating power of the steamer, a spreader configured to move in a left and right direction to move into a body of the clothing and apply a mechanical force so as to spread the body of the clothing, and a spreader moving motor configured to move the spreader in the left and right direction.

A detergent dispensing cartridge for use in a washing machine. The washing machine is for cleaning a soiled substrate. The treatment of the moistened substrate is with a formulation comprising a multiplicity of polymeric particles. Said formulation is free of organic solvents.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance having a treating chamber for receiving laundry for treatment and a dispensing system for dispensing treating chemistry for use in treating the laundry comprises, determining an amount of laundry in the treating chamber, setting at least one of a dilution and a delivery rate for the treating chemistry based on the determined amount of laundry to define a dispensing parameter and controlling the dispensing system to dispense the treating chemistry according to the dispensing parameter.

Linen treatment compositions and linen processes are disclosed which help to prevent iron deposition from wash water, and/or redeposition after iron containing stain (such as blood) removal by alkaline detergents. The linen treatment composition is a combination of a hydroxycarboxylic acid and an acid source, which may be organic or inorganic. The invention provides for effective iron control in a phosphorus-free formula that is also free of toxic or hazardous chemicals and includes sustainable, environmentally friendly ingredients, while still providing effective iron control.

High active, high caustic liquid laundry detergent compositions which provide excellent stability are disclosed, including methods of making and using the same. The compositions generally comprise a source of alkalinity, a rheology modifier, one or more sequestering agents, one or more low mole ethoxylated nonionic surfactants, and an alkylpolysaccharide surfactant. The liquid detergent emulsions, provided as a concentrate, water-in-oil use solution emulsion, or oil-in-water use solution emulsion beneficially demonstrate improved stability even under high pH and high temperature conditions.
