The present invention relates to cleaning compositions with improved rinse suds profile, which comprise an alkoxylated polyalkyleneimine, an organomodified silicone and a siloxane-based diluent.

A method for producing a liquid, surfactant-containing washing agent containing: i) 20 to 80 wt. % surfactant; ii) 2 to 15 wt. % fatty acid; iii) 0.3 to 8 wt. % of salt of a divalent cation; iv) 8 to 35 wt. % solvent; the method including the steps of: a) providing a first flowable washing agent preparation containing a surfactant, fatty acid and solvent; b) introducing the salt of a divalent cation into the liquid composition so as to form a salt-containing composition; c) mixing the salt-containing composition.

Provided are formulations that offer a high cleaning effect on inorganic particles, organic residues, chemical residues, reaction products on the surface due to interaction of the wafer surface with the Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) slurry and elevated levels of undesirable metals on the surface left on the semiconductor devices after the CMP. The post-CMP cleaning formulations comprise one or more organic acid, one or more polymer and a fluoride compound with pH<7 and optionally a surfactant with two sulfonic acid groups.

The invention meets the needs above by providing a surfactant system, mixture or blend that can be used as a part of a soaking composition. The surfactant system is capable of forming emulsions with, and thus removing, oily and greasy stains. In a preferred embodiment the surfactant compositions of the invention can remove non-trans fat and fatty acid stains. The invention involves foaming soaking compositions that have some or part of the anionic surfactant present in the same replaced with an extended chain anionic surfactant.

A viscoelastic, solid-state surfactant composition for textile treatment, containing based on the total weight thereof (i) a total amount of 10% to 70% by weight of at least one surfactant, (ii) a total amount of more than 1% by weight of at least one benzylidene alditol compound of formula (I), and (iii) water, constitutes an easily soluble, aesthetically pleasing and storage-stable form of a solid-state composition for providing surfactant-containing liquors.

The present invention relates to a surfactant booster for use in high foaming cleaning compositions. In an aspect of the invention, a C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 or C12 linear alcohol in very low amounts is added to increase surface activity, foam and wetting properties of the composition. The alcohol is added in an amount of alcohol to surfactant of about 1:100 to 1:200 and must be linear. In another aspect, the invention relates to novel cleaning compositions such as pot and pan soaking compositions, dishwashing compositions, food and beverage foaming cleaners, vehicle cleaning and the like suitable for use in hard water, which can be solid or liquid. The invention further relates to methods of making these compositions, and to methods employing these compositions.

The present invention relates to a detergent or cleaning composition, preferably a liquid laundry detergent composition, comprising a sulfonate group-containing copolymer, which is useful in improving anti-soil redeposition in high water hardness conditions and whiteness maintenance benefit of such detergent or cleaning composition. Processes for making and methods of using the detergent or cleaning composition are also encompassed by the present invention.
