The present invention provides a foamable cleaning agent for an air intake system, comprising: a) 6 to 10 wt. % of ?-sulfo-fatty acid methyl ester salt and/or alpha-olefin sulfonate; b) 6 to 10 wt. % of alkyl polyglucoside APG2000; c) 1.5 to 2.5 wt. % of coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide and/or lauric diethanol amide LDEA; and d) 5 to 15 wt. % of water; based on the total weight of the foamable cleaning agent, also provided are an aerosol product comprising: an aerosol can containing the foamable cleaning agent, and a spraying device, through which the foamable cleaning agent can be sprayed out as a foam; and a method for preparing the aerosol product, a method of cleaning air intake system with the aerosol product, and a use of the foamable cleaning agent or the aerosol product for cleaning air intake system.

The invention relates to a syndet bar composition comprising sulfonated methyl ester of a fatty acid having a chain length of 16 to 18 carbon atoms (C16-C18), wherein the sulfonated methyl ester is present in an amount of 5% to 30% by weight of the composition; a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfosuccinate, alkyl sulfate, alkyl ether sulfate, alkyl polyglu-coside, or the combination thereof; a fatty alcohol selected from the group consisting of cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol or cetostearyl alcohol; a saturated fatty acid; a filler; and a humectant/moisturiser. The syndet bar composition is useful as a personal cleaning, laundry or dishwashing bar.

An ancillary laundry composition comprising an ester oil, which is a polyol comprising at least two ester linkages, free perfume and 0 to 0.85 wt. % anionic and/or cationic surfactant. A method of laundering clothes, wherein said composition is added in the wash or rinse stage. A method of preventing colour fade over (10) laundry cycles, wherein fabrics are treated with said composition during each consecutive laundry cycle. The use of said composition to provide an improved colour maintenance or reduced colour fade over consecutive laundry cycles, preferably (10), more preferably (5) laundry cycles.

Disclosed is a self-invertible inverse latex including, as an inverting agent, surfactant species of the polyglycerol ester family, the use thereof as a thickening and/or emulsifying and/or stabilising agent for a detergent or cleaning formulation for industrial or household use, and aqueous liquid detergent compositions including same, for household or industrial use.

The present invention relates to a product for machine dishwashing, comprising a capsule containing two or more compartments. The first compartment contains a solid, powdered first composition; and a second compartment contains liquid or gel second composition. The bleaching performance has been optimised, leading to better removal of tea stains. This has been achieved by an optimal combination of an alkali metal carbonate, a bleach component, sodium silicate and/or sodium disilicate, a bleach catalyst, and a maximum amount of tetraacetylethylenediamine.

Disclosed herein are detergent compositions that comprise at least one (i) glucan derivative and/or (ii) oxidized polysaccharide derivative. A glucan derivative of (i) can be substituted with at least one organic group that comprises a carboxylic acid group or a sulfonate group, and the degree of substitution (DoS) of the glucan derivative with the organic group can be about 0.1 to about 3.0. An oxidized polysaccharide derivative of (ii) can be produced by contacting a polysaccharide derivative under aqueous conditions with at least one agent that is capable of oxidizing the polysaccharide derivative. The polysaccharide derivative for oxidation has a degree of substitution (DoS) up to about 3.0 with at least one organic group. Further disclosed are various applications and products employing detergent compositions.
