A multi-chamber single dose pack includes a first water-soluble film, a second water-soluble film adhered to the first film, a first chamber and second chamber formed by the first film and the second film, a first detergent wash composition in the first chamber, a second detergent wash composition in the second chamber, a perforated tear line between the two chambers allowing separation of the two chambers by hand without opening either chamber, and a water-soluble adhesive disposed along an outward-facing portion of either or both of the first and second films. The water-soluble adhesive is configured to allow the attachment of at least one further chamber including a further wash composition.

A water-soluble film for a liquid detergent-packaging capsule does not cause discoloration, can prevent precipitate of inorganic salts such as sulfites and sulfates contained in the packaging capsule or the liquid detergent, can prevent whitening due to precipitate, can maintain the haptics of the packaging capsule containing the liquid detergent and keep a good appearance over time. A liquid detergent is sealed in the water-soluble film. The film contains an anionic-group modified polyvinyl alcohol resin, a plasticizer including glycerin and sorbitol at a mass ratio of 1:2.1 to 5.3, and a sulfite, and is characterized in that the total contained amount of the glycerin and the sorbitol is 21-39 parts by mass, and the contained amount of the sulfite is 0.1-1.9 parts by mass, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the anionic-group modified polyvinyl alcohol resin.

The present disclosure relates to pouches made from a combination of chemically different water-soluble films and optionally containing a composition (e.g. a household care composition or non-household care composition) that is at least partially enclosed by the water-soluble films in at least one compartment.

Methods for making films including a water-soluble polymeric material and a vapor-deposited inorganic coating are disclosed. The method comprises providing a layer of water-soluble polymeric material and vapor depositing an inorganic coating to at least one surface of the layer of water-soluble polymeric material, wherein the inorganic coating comprises a metal oxide. The method further comprises forming a plurality of microfractures extending along the surface of the inorganic coating.

A multi-compartment package for an automatic dishwashing cycle, the multi-compartment package comprising an external sealing web extending around a periphery of the package, and an internal sealing web which partitions the package to form a first compartment comprising a first detergent composition in the form of a solid, a second compartment comprising a second detergent composition in the form of a non-solid, and a third compartment comprising a third detergent composition in the form of a non-solid having a viscosity lower than the viscosity of the second detergent composition, wherein the internal sealing web comprises at least a first internal sealing region arranged across the package to partition the first compartment and the second compartment, and a second internal sealing region arranged across the package to partition the second compartment and the third compartment, wherein the first detergent composition is separated from the third detergent composition by the first internal sealing region, the second compartment and the second internal sealing region.

A package for an automatic dishwashing cycle, the package comprising at least one detergent composition in the form of a solid and at least one detergent composition in the form of a gel, wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of solid detergent composition to the total amount of gel detergent composition is between about 1.60:1 and about 3.00:1.

Disclosed herein are methods for removing spores from skin, the method including dispensing an effective amount of a composition into or onto an article, wherein the composition includes water and from about 0.04 wt % to about 4 wt % polymeric cationic antimicrobial, nonionic antimicrobial or combinations thereof; contacting a skin surface with the composition; mechanically acting on the skin surface for at least one (1) second while the skin surface is in the presence of the composition; and removing at least a portion of the composition from the surface of the skin, wherein removing the composition also removes spores from the skin surface.

Articles and methods for treating textiles and other materials with an antimicrobial compound during laundry and/or drying cycles. The articles include a porous substrate and a core composition that is releasably associated with the substrate and that includes a metal ion having antimicrobial activity. Methods include the use of the articles in laundry and/or drying cycles to provide antimicrobial treatment of the textiles and materials.

Fabric treatment compositions that include benefit agent capsules and biphenyl brightener. Methods of using the same. Wash water that includes such compositions.

A water-soluble film is provided, which is less susceptible to curling even after long-term storage. The water-soluble film includes a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A) , and has a first surface, which has a crystal Unity index Xa, and a second surface, which is opposite to the first surface and has a crystallinity index Xb, where: Xa≥Xb; Xa−Xb is from 0.015 to 0.10; and the crystallinity indexes Xa and Xb are measured through an infrared spectroscopic analysis by an attenuated total reflection method and represented by: ABS.sub.1141/ABS.sub.1093, wherein ABS.sub.1141 and ABS.sub.1093 are absorbances at wavenumbers of 1141 cm.sup.−1 and 1093 cm.sup.−1, respectively.
