In one embodiment, a polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate composition is provided which includes a polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate, such as sodium laureth ether sulfate (SLES), water, a mono-alcohol, and a polyol. The two alcohols form a synergistic blend, enabling a significant reduction of the viscosity of the polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate composition. Also provided is an embodiment of a method for modifying the rheology of polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate by use of a mono-alcohol and a polyol simultaneously. Finally provided is an embodiment of a detergent composition which is prepared by use of the polyethoxylated alcohol sulfate composition described herein, in addition to other commonly known ingredients.

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.

A surfactant composition includes a surfactant component including an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C.sub.8-C.sub.20 backbone ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide and is present in an amount of from about 20 to about 80 weight percent actives. The surfactant composition also includes water present in a total amount of about 10 to about 35 weight percent. The surfactant composition further includes an alkyl alcohol present in an amount of from about 3 to about 10 weight percent. The surfactant composition also includes a glycol ether present in an amount of about 2 to about 20 weight percent. The surfactant composition has a viscosity of less than about 5,000 cps measured at 20 C.

A system and method for distributing color-coded dilution ratios of cleaning concentrates at different dilution ratios and flow rates. The system mixes a concentrated cleaning composition with different quantities of water to produce diluted concentrates. A plurality of separate dyes or scented dyes are added to the diluted concentrates, with each color of dye correlating to a unique diluted concentrate. This provides a visual indication of the dilution ratio of the diluted concentrate. A plurality of metering devices selectively dispense the dyed diluted concentrates at different dilution ratios and at multiple flow rates. The metering devices are labeled with identification markings, indicating dilution ratios and flow rates. The dilution ratio and the flow rate are selected based on the type of cleaning that is required, and the type of dispensing means used for cleaning. A plurality of lines carry the concentrated cleaning composition, water, dyes, and dyed diluted concentrate.

Provided herein is a green laundry detergent composition that is pH neutral and comprises a powerful cleansing surfactant, an organic and sustainable broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, a high purity natural, renewable and biodegradable chelate, an emulsion polymer, a pH adjuster, enzymes, and water. Also provided are methods of producing the green laundry detergent composition and methods comprising the use of the green laundry detergent composition.

The invention relates to stable dispersion of negatively-charged aminoplast microcapsules in non-suspending detergent compositions containing an anionic surfactant. The microcapsules are stably dispersed by means of a cationic polyampholyte, which is embedded in the shells of said microcapsules.

A non-aqueous concentrated liquid fabric conditioner composition, the composition comprising; a. 10 to 85 wt. % ester linked quaternary ammonium compound; and b. solvent selected from; i. hydrocarbons comparing 5 to 19 carbon atoms; ii. solvents having a .sub.D dispersion parameter of greater than 16.5 MPa.sup.1/2 and a .sub.P polarity parameter of 2.5 to 8 MPa.sup.1/2; and iii. mixtures thereof.

Liquid consumer product compositions that include delivery particles and a consumer product adjunct, where the delivery particles include a graft copolymer and a benefit agent, and where the graft copolymer includes a polyalkylene glycol, vinyl acetate moieties, and N-vinylcaprolactam moieties. Methods of making and using such particles and compositions.

The need for a liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition that is less hazy, while also provides reduced surface tension between the detergent composition and the soiled plate, and hence improvements in cleaning, is met when the liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition is formulated with a surfactant system and a polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of hydrolysis of from about 40% to about 86%.

An aqueous composition, a sprayable composition containing the aqueous composition, and a method of making the aqueous composition are provided. The aqueous composition includes an aqueous phase and liquid benefit agent droplets discontinuously dispersed throughout the aqueous phase. The aqueous phase has a structurant system including a first polysaccharide and a second polysaccharide that is different from the first polysaccharide. The aqueous phase comprises less than 10,000 ppm surfactant. The aqueous composition exhibits a yield stress as determined by the RHEOLOGY TEST METHOD.
