A composition for an organic cleaning product comprises distilled water; borax; distilled white vinegar; yucca root soap; and optionally, lavender essential oil, peppermint essential oil; and eucalyptus. Also disclosed is a process for the production of yucca root soap which is used in producing the organic cleaning product of the invention.

Provided is a liquid detergent that includes a liquid carrier, at least one surfactant, such as at least one anionic surfactant, and at least two chelating agents. A first of the two chelating agents includes citric acid monohydrate. A second of the two chelating agents includes iminodisuccinic acid. A use of the liquid detergent composition for the washing of fabrics. A method of making a cleaning composition comprising combining a liquid carrier, at least one surfactant, and at least two chelating agents, wherein a first of the two chelating agents comprises citric acid monohydrate and a second of the two chelating agents comprises iminodisuccinic acid.

The present invention provides a multi-compartment laundry detergent water-soluble pouch, wherein the pouch comprises a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein the first compartment comprises a benefit delivery composition, wherein the second compartment comprises a detergent ingredient, wherein the benefit delivery composition comprises a lamellar phase composition and a viscous hydrophobic ingredient, wherein the lamellar phase composition comprises a mixture of surfactant and fatty amphiphile in lamellar phase, wherein the viscous hydrophobic ingredient comprises silicone and/or petrolatum.

The invention relates to a method for producing liquid compositions that have a yield point and contain one or more surfactants, in which a basic formulation comprising at least one surfactant and at least one solvent is produced in a batch process in a first step, and this basic formulation is differentiated in a continuous method in a subsequent second step. The invention also relates to the compositions obtained in this manner.

In a process of making a liquid cleaning composition, adding a gel breaker upstream of an anionic surfactant addition in the recirculatory loop of a recirculatory batch processor mitigates the viscous hexagonal phase whilst providing maximum flexibility in formulating various ingredients in the composition.

The disclosure provides a cleaning composition for cleaning a hard surface, comprising: a) an oil and/or fat, wherein the oil and/or fat is from 1% to 20% by weight based on a total weight of the composition; b) a polyol; c) a surfactant, wherein a weight ratio of the surfactant to the oil and/or fat is equal to or greater than 1:5. The disclosure further relates to a method of preparing the cleaning composition and uses thereof.
