A dishwasher composition includes at least one strong chelant, at least one weak chelant, at least one surfactant, and at least one enzyme. The dishwasher composition can be a liquid or a gel and has a pH of from 7.0 to 9.5 and may contain less than 1 wt. % silicates based on the total weight of the dishwasher composition. Methods of washing articles include preparing a wash solution that includes water and the dishwasher composition, and contacting at least one article with the washing solution during at least a portion of a wash cycle of a commercially-available dishwasher.

Provided are compositions and methods for selectively etching hard mask layers and/or photoresist etch residues relative to low-k dielectric layers that are present. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition and process for selectively etching titanium nitride and/or photoresist etch residues relative to low-k dielectric layers. Other materials that may be present on the microelectronic device should not be substantially removed or corroded by said compositions.

A detergent composition having a) from about 1% to about 60%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant system wherein the surfactant system includes: i) at least 35%, by weight of the surfactant system, of nonionic surfactant and ii) from 5% to about 20%, by weight of the surfactant system, of amine oxide. The detergent composition having greater than 3% of fatty acid.

Liquid detergent compositions with polymer blends to provide a stable aqueous use solution of a highly alkaline detergent composition are provided. The liquid detergent composition include concentrates and use solutions with blends of alkali-swellable polymers (ASE) and hydrophobically-modified alkali-swellable polymers (HASE). Methods for washing textiles using the liquid detergent compositions are also provided.

The present invention is for sanitizing compositions for sanitizing surfaces which may contact food. The composition may be provided in liquid form, and may include a quaternary amine, one or more surfactant, a fragrance, and water. At least 90% by weight of the fragrance comprises fragrance components that meet Class I qualifications of the Cramer classification system. All other components of the composition (e.g., the quaternary amine, the surfactants, water, and any optional components) meet the EPA guidelines under CFR 180.940(a). Since the composition only includes components that meet the EPA guidelines under CFR 180.940(a) (reflecting a presumption of low toxicity), and at least 90% of the fragrance itself (e.g., in the case of mixtures of fragrance components) meets the Cramer Class I qualifications, the composition is safe for application to surfaces that come in contact with food, where there is a heightened probability that traces of the composition will be ingested.
