Effective defoamer compositions contain two different aryl-substituted organopolysiloxanes and filler particles, and show high defoaming capability.

The present invention relates to gels comprising lamellar phase compositions and water-soluble unit dose articles comprising said gels.

Cleaning formulations and methods of use thereof are described. Embodiments of the cleaning formulation comprise (a) an effective amount of citrus based compounds and mixtures thereof; (b) an effective amount of a surfactant selected from primary and secondary nonionic surfactants, co-surfactants and mixtures thereof; (c) an effective amount of a wetting agent; (d) an effective amount of an emulsifier; and (e) optimally, an effective amount of an environmental impurity resistance mixture with an effective amount of soy bean, palm and coconut derived surfactants. Embodiments are particularly effective, mild and non-hazardous for cleaning solar panels, glass, glass composites, polymers and the like.

Oligo(-amino ester)s, obtainable by aza-Michael addition of primary monoamines or primary or secondary diamines to diesters from monoethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids and diols, is included in a surfactant-containing aqueous detergent solutions in order to prevent the transfer of textile dyes from colored textiles to uncolored textiles or textiles of other colors when washing textiles in the detergent solutions.
