The present disclosure provides compositions for use as in-rinse softeners for textiles. The compositions can be in the form of liquid fabric softeners that can be configured to substantially avoid build-up on treated fabrics. In particular, the compositions can comprise predominately water and at least a conditioning agent, such as a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt, that will provide conditioning and softening effects to a treated fabric without leaving behind undesired build-up. The compositions optionally may include further components, such as anti-static agents, chlorine scavengers, preservatives, and acidifying agents.

A liquid laundry detergent formulation is provided, comprising: a liquid carrier; a cleaning surfactant; and a cleaning booster, wherein the cleaning booster is of Formula (I)

##STR00001##

wherein x is 3 to 10; wherein y is 5 to 20; wherein z is 5 to 30; wherein x+y+z≥18;
wherein x≠z; wherein each R is a C.sub.7-9 alkyl group and wherein ≥75 wt % of the R groups are branched.

Disclosed are a composite glass composition for washing and cleaning and a method for producing composite glass powder using the same, in which a silicate-based glass composition containing an alkali oxide for activating water into alkaline water and a bleaching agent having bleaching performance are mixed or coated. Accordingly, since the silicate-based glass composition containing an alkali oxide can ionize water in place of a surfactant contained in existing synthetic detergents, washing and cleaning capacity equivalent to or greater than existing synthetic detergents can be secured with alkaline water ionized from water.

The invention relates to a flowable washing agent preparation containing, based on the total weight thereof, a) 2 to 20 wt. % anionic surfactant from the group of C.sub.8-18 alkylbenzene sulfonates; b) 0.05 to 2 wt. % of a preparation of a pectinolytic enzyme; c) less than 20 wt. % water, to washing agent portion units containing these washing agent preparations and to washing methods using these washing agent preparations or washing agent portion units.

Disclosed herein are phenolic compositions and laundry care compositions comprising such phenolic compositions. The laundry care compositions may reduce malodor of fabrics or articles laundered with the same.

Disclosed are fusion polypeptides comprising at least two carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs), wherein the polypeptide has carbohydrate binding activity. Also disclosed is the use of such polypeptides for reducing the wrinkles in laundry, as well as detergent compositions and laundry booster compositions comprising the same. Also disclosed are polynucleotides encoding the variants, nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the variants and methods of making the variants.

A laundry scent additive having polyethylene glycol and perfume. The laundry scent additive enables consumers to control the amount of scent imparted to their laundry.

The present disclosure relates to a liquid surfactant composition containing a surfactant mixture, water and at least one amylase as defined herein. The present disclosure also relates to a method for cleaning textiles including providing a washing liquor by dosing a liquid surfactant composition, mixing this dosage into at least one solvent, and bring the resulting mixture into contact with the textiles.

A flowable washing agent preparation containing, based on the total weight thereof, i) 20 to 80 wt. % surfactant; ii) 2 to 15 wt. % fatty acid; iii) 5 to 25 wt. % organic solvent; iv) 0.3 to 8 wt. % of a salt of a divalent cation; v) less than 20 wt. % water, and washing methods using this preparation.

An article is provided herein which includes an aqueous liquid detergent and a package for the aqueous liquid detergent which is in direct contact with the aqueous liquid detergent, wherein the package is formed from a water-soluble, film-forming material. The aqueous liquid detergent includes at least one non-linear surfactant.
