Consumer Products with Improved Aesthetics

A consumer product composed of ≤1% of a High-Performance fragrance composition and a consumer product active is provided. Use of reduced levels of the High-Performance fragrance composition provides for improved aesthetics such as improved clarity and viscosity, and reduced discoloration and caking.

Method for operating a laundry washing machine using a unit dose package and laundry washing machine implementing the method

A laundry washing machine having a cabinet supporting a washing drum adapted to receive laundry, and a washing tub external to the washing drum, and a treating agents dispenser with one or more compartments adapted to be receive treating agents. A first one of the compartments has a predefined zone configured to receive a unit dose package having a pre-measured amount of treating agent incorporated into a water-soluble pouch. The machine has a valve configured to connect to a source of pressurized water, and a water conveying line fluidly connected to the valve and having one or more outlets. The entirety of the water conveying line is water tight except for the outlets. The outlets are configured to direct a respective pressurized flow of water therethrough. At least one outlet is configured to direct a first pressurized flow of water into the first compartment towards the predefined zone.

Proteases with improved enzyme stability in detergents

The present disclosure relates to proteases having an amino acid sequence with at least 70% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID No. 1, across its whole length, and comprising an amino acid substitution on at least one of the positions P9, Q10, Q62, L82, P86, N130, T141, N187, S236 or T253, relating in each case to the numbering according to SEQ ID No. 1. The present disclosure also relates to the production and use thereof. Said type of proteases have a very good cleaning performance.

Glycerin ethoxylate as an active ingredient in removing make-up stain

A composition for removing a cosmetic material from a substrate includes glycerin ethoxylate and linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LABS). An application of the composition to a stain including a deposit of a cosmetic material at a white polyester-cotton blend fabric to provide a stained polyester-cotton blend fabric exhibits an increased stain removal measured as reflectance observed at 460 nm by at least about 35% compared to a reflectance observed at the stained polyester-cotton blend fabric prior to the application. A treatment including the composition applied to the stained polyester-cotton blend fabric provides a reflectance at the stained polyester-cotton blend fabric that is greater than a reflectance observed at a white polyester-cotton blend fabric stained with a deposit of a cosmetic material and that has been treated with either the glycerin ethoxylate alone or that has been treated with the linear alkyl benzene sulfonate alone.

PERFORMANCE GEAR, TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY, AND CLEANING AND PROTECTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20220403294 · 2022-12-22 ·

A cleaning system for cleaning high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry, which includes a washing agent and a protective agent. The washing agent is configured to remove unwanted matter from the high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry. The protective agent is configured to create a bonded barrier comprising organosilane antimicrobial(s) on the high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry for protection against odors from bacteria, mold and mildew and/or the like. The washing agent and the protective agent are configured to be used in a two-step water-based treatment process in which the washing agent is provided in a given first step of the treatment process and the protective agent is provided in a given subsequent second step of the treatment process.
