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.
Unit dose detergent packs with anti-yellowing and anti-efflorescence formulations
Unit dose pack and methods for preventing efflorescence and yellowing of a wash composition for unit dose packs are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, a unit dose pack includes a wash composition and a film encapsulating the wash composition. The wash composition includes an ionic surfactant, water, sodium sulfite, and a chelating compound. The sodium sulfite is present in the wash composition at a concentration of from about 0.5 to about 3 weight percent, and the chelating compound is present in the wash composition at a concentration of from about 0.01 to about 1.5 weight percent, where weight percents are based on a total weight of the wash 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.
