A method for manufacturing gloves includes adding a thickening agent (B) having an oxyethylene group content of 210.sup.2 mol/g or less to an aqueous urethane resin composition containing an aqueous urethane resin (A) having an acid value of 0.01 mgKOH/g or higher in a range of 0.01 to 30 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the aqueous urethane resin (A) to obtain a thickened liquid; and (i) immersing fiber-knitted gloves in the thickened liquid and subsequently performing coagulation in a coagulation bath (C) containing a metal salt (c-1) or (ii) immersing fiber-knitted gloves previously immersed in a coagulation bath (C) containing a metal salt (c-1) in the thickened liquid to perform coagulation. As the thickening agent (B), a cellulose thickening agent, an acryl thickening agent, or a urethane thickening agent can be used. Furthermore, as the metal salt (c-1), calcium nitrate can used.

A solid, particulate composition having at least one water-soluble carrier material, at least one fragrance and at least one rheology modifier, wherein the carrier material is a water-containing salt (hydrate) whose water vapor partial pressure at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100 C. corresponds to the H.sub.2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt, such that the salt melts at this temperature in its own crystal water. The invention further relates to processes for producing the solid composition, and to a washing or cleaning product including the solid composition. In addition, the present invention also relates to the use of a washing or cleaning product of this kind for cleaning of textiles or hard surfaces, and corresponding methods of cleaning textiles or hard surfaces using a washing or cleaning product of this kind.
