The present invention relates to a method for washing clothing, including washing clothing with a detergent liquid having a pH of 3.5 or more and 8.5 or less at 20 C. obtained by mixing the following component (A) and component (B), and water having a hardness: component (A): an internal olefin sulfonate having 15 or more and 24 or less carbon atoms; and component (B): protease.

The present invention can provide a cleaning solution containing 0.2-20 mass % of an amine compound (A), 40-70 mass % of a water-soluble organic solvent (B), and water, wherein the amine compound (A) contains at least one selected from the group consisting of n-butylamine, hexylamine, octylamine, 1,4-butanediamine, dibutylamine, 3-amino-1-propanol, N,N-diethyl-1,3-diaminopropane, and bis(hexamethylene)triamine, and the water-soluble organic solvent (B) has a viscosity of 10 mPa.Math.s or less at 20 C. and a pH of 9.0-14.

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.

The need for a liquid detergent composition for washing dishes which provides effective removal of both crystalline and polymerised grease, while requiring less time and effort to clean and rinse the dishes, is met when the composition is formulated with a surfactant system having an anionic surfactant, a co-surfactant, and a non-alkoxylated esteramine.

The need for a liquid detergent composition, especially a hand dishwashing liquid detergent which provides a more consistent sudsing experience, regardless of the hardness of the water used to prepare the cleaning liquor, while also providing improved initial suds formation and suds mileage in the presence of greasy soils, especially under hard water conditions, is met by formulating a liquid detergent composition to comprise an anionic surfactant and a co-surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant comprises an alkyl isosorbide sulphate anionic surfactant.
