Described herein are natural cleaning compositions comprising fermented fruit solutions, methods for making the same, and methods for using the same. The fermented fruit solutions can contain fruit, sugar and water. Further described herein are methods of making fermented fruit solutions for use with cleaning compositions. The fermented fruit solutions described herein can be used in cleaning compositions including laundry detergents, stain removers, fabric softeners, floor cleaners, bathroom cleaners, dishwashing products, kitchen cleaners, liquid soap, multi-purpose cleaners and the like.

A cleaning solution is provided which can effectively clean and remove bacteria from a coffee maker. The cleaning solution can comprise from about 0.04 weight percent to about 0.06 weight percent hypochlorous acid, with the balance being electrolyzed oxygenated water, and wherein the cleaning solution has a pH of from about 6.1 to about 7.2. There is also provided a method of cleaning a coffee maker and dispenser therefore. The method comprises providing at least 16 fluid ounces of the cleaning solution into a reservoir of a substantially empty coffee maker, starting a brew cycle on the coffee maker, and then optionally flushing the coffee maker with water.

Laundry detergent builder additives are described. Laundry detergent builder additives are water softeners that work to maintain detergent stability and improve the cleaning efficiency of the detergent formulation. These detergent additives also maintain alkalinity that assists cleaning, provides anti-corrosion properties, and helps keep soil from redepositing during washing. The laundry detergent builder additives are functionalized glycerol and soybean meal-based derivatives.

A detergent composition for machine dishwashing comprising Z1) one or more ethoxylated glycerol esters of formula (I), ##STR00001##
prepared from ethylene oxide and one or more triglycerides of formula (II) in the presence of a calcium catalyst (C), characterized in that R1, R2 and R3 in formulae (I) and (II) are equal or different and are independently selected from saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C7-C24 alkyl chains; m, n and o in formula (I) are equal or different and are each independently an integer number from 1 to 200 with the proviso that the number-average of the sum of m+n+o is greater than 5; and the calcium catalyst (C) is a catalyst obtainable by a reaction involving (A) calcium hydroxide and (B) a carboxylic acid comprising 3 to 40 carbon atoms, wherein the molar ratio of calcium hydroxide (A) to carboxylic acid (B) in the preparation of the catalyst (C) is from 1:1 to 1:5.

Composition for multi-purpose cleaning wherein said composition comprises a product of: (a) one or more amine oxide-based surfactant; and (b) one or more glycerol ketal derivative. Process for preparing said product, wherein the process comprises the product of one or more amine oxide with one or more glycerol ketal derivative as solvent under stream of carbon dioxide and addition of peroxide oxide under semi-batch or batch reaction. Use of said composition, wherein the composition is used for preparing multi-purpose cleaning products, detergents, homecare or industrial cleaning products, washing products, as base preparations for homecare cleaning products and as base preparations for industrial cleaning products.
