The need for laundry detergent compositions that provide improved deposition of perfume ingredients onto fabrics comprising synthetic fibres, and especially those perfume ingredients that typically do not readily deposit onto synthetic fibres, is met by incorporating a vinylpyrrolidone polymer and specific perfume ingredients into a laundry detergent composition.

A method of washing glassware is provided including: providing automatic dishwashing apparatus; providing soiled glassware; placing soiled glassware in automatic dishwashing apparatus; providing wash water; providing rinse water; selecting anhydrous mixed powder or mixed granule comprising: 2.5-5 wt % of oxidized maltodextrin, wherein oxidized maltodextrin has Degree of Oxidation of 0.4-1.7; 10-25 wt % of amino acid based builder; 20-75 wt % of additional builder, wherein additional builder includes at least one of sodium citrate, sodium carbonate and sodium percarbonate; 2.5-7.5 wt % of bleach activator; 0.5-10 wt % of nonionic surfactant; 0.5-1 wt % of phosphonate; 1-6 wt % of enzyme; 5-15 wt % of filler; and <1 wt % water; placing selected anhydrous mixed powder or mixed granule in automatic dishwashing apparatus; contacting selected anhydrous mixed powder or mixed granule with wash water to form combination; contacting soiled glassware with combination to provide treated glassware; and then contacting treated glassware with rinse water to provide cleaned glassware.

The present invention relates to a method of removing a landfill residue that includes (a) forming a treatment composition that includes, (i) an acid functional material comprising at least one of carboxylic acid functional materials, phosphoric acid functional materials, phosphonic acid functional materials, or salts thereof, (ii) water, (iii) optionally an oxidizer including a reactive oxygen, and (iv) optionally a surfactant. The method further includes (b) contacting together said treatment composition and said landfill residue, thereby forming a modified treatment composition including the landfill residue, and (c) removing the modified treatment composition. The landfill residue is selected from a landfill gas extraction residue and a landfill leachate collection residue, and the landfill residue includes an organic substance and optionally a scale-forming salt. The present invention also relates to a treatment composition including the acid functional material, and the oxidizer.

Provided are new metal complexes having phenolic and macrocyclic amino ligands as well as to their use, in particular use for bleaching catalyst for detergent compositions and oxidative crosslinking catalyst for resins, containing said metal complexes. A formulation comprises at least a detergent, a metal complex, and optionally a source of hydrogen peroxide.

This disclosure relates generally to bleach activator compositions. This disclosure relates more particularly to tetraacetyldiamine and/or triacetyldiamine derivatives and compositions thereof and to their use as bleach activators, and methods for using them as detergents or biocides.

The present disclosure pertains to surfactants for use in the formulation of detergents, foaming agents, emulsifiers, and degreasers. Some aspects of the invention include formulations suitable for cleaning and/or condition fabrics including upholstery. Some formulations are suitable for in home or commercial dry cleaning. Some of the formulations may be suitable for cleaning hard surfaces including plastic surfaces.
