The present invention is directed to a cleaning composition for sanitizing or disinfecting hard surfaces containing a cationic biocide, surfactant and low levels of VOC solvents. The cleaning composition is adapted to clean a variety of hard surfaces without leaving behind a visible residue and creates low levels of streaking and filming on the treated surface. The cleaning composition contains less than 5% by weight of VOCs. The cleaning composition may be used alone as a liquid or spray formulation or in combination with a substrate, for example, a pre-loaded cleaning wipe.

The invention provides for the use of specific microemulsions comprising quaternary ammonium compounds for production of clear fabric softener formulations having improved performance properties, and also the corresponding formulations and a process for production thereof.

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.

Surfactants based on a newly discovered class of compounds include a hydrophobic lipid oligomer covalently linked to a peptide or peptide-like chain and a carbohydrate moiety, and a serine-leucinol dipeptide linked to the lipid oligomer. Such surfactants can be used to create an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion by mixing together a polar component; a non-polar component; and the surfactant. Biosurfactants of the newly discovered class can be made by isolating and culturing a microorganism which produces the biosurfactant, and then isolating the biosurfactant from the culture. A microorganism can be engineered to produce biosurfactant of this newly discovered class by expressing a set of heterologous genes involved in the biosynthesis of the biosurfactant in the microorganism.

A laundry liquid composition in a container, the composition comprising a surfactant, said surfactant comprising C18 alkyl-containing anionic or non-ionic surfactant, a free fragrance and wherein the container comprises at least 50% wt. post-consumer recycled resin (PCR) comprising polyolefin or polyester.

The present disclosure relates to cleansing compositions that are free of sulfate-based surfactants and free of sodium chloride. The cleansing compositions include: (a) one or more non-sulfate anionic surfactants; one or more amphoteric surfactants; one or more nonionic surfactants; (d) one or more hydrophobically modified poly(meth)acrylates; one or more silicones; and water. The cleansing compositions are particularly useful for cleansing hair and providing conditioning benefits to the hair.

A structured liquid detergent composition includes water, an anionic detergent surfactant, and a nonionic detergent surfactant. A ratio of the anionic detergent surfactant to the nonionic detergent surfactant is from about 0.5 to about 20. The structured liquid detergent composition further includes a zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactant and a bacterial-derived cellulose network. The structured liquid detergent composition exhibits improved rheological properties.
