Microplastic-free, opacified liquid laundry detergents
A microplastic-free, in-vitro opacified detergent composition includes a surfactant component present in an amount of about 8 to about 65 weight percent actives and including (1) an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C.sub.8-C.sub.20 backbone that is ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, (2) at least one non-ionic surfactant having an alkoxylated alcohol, and (3) at least one anionic surfactant having a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 5 to about 90 weight percent, free fatty acids in a total amount from about 1 to 15 weight percent and a magnesium cation in a total amount of from 0.005 to 0.3 weight percent. The composition has a turbidity value of at least 250 NTU at 75° F.
DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS
The need for laundry detergent compositions that provide improved deposition of hydrophilic perfume ingredients onto fabrics comprising cotton fibres, and especially those perfume ingredients that deposit less readily onto cotton fibres, is met by incorporating certain cationic polymers and specific perfume ingredients into a laundry detergent composition.

PERFORMANCE GEAR, TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY, AND CLEANING AND PROTECTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A cleaning system for all laundry, high performance textiles, and sports gear, 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.
