Low-pH compositions are provided for dissolvable solid unit dose formulations that can be used with a wand apparatus to clean a toilet surface. The formulations include surfactants, an organic acid and an organic acid buffering agent, and virgin soap pellets and/or a cellulose filler. Formulations having antibacterial efficacy include an anionic surfactant present at about 15% to about 30% by weight of the composition, an organic acid-buffer system in an amount sufficient to provide toilet water with a pH which is less than 4.6 when the composition is dissolved in toilet water, and virgin soap pellets.

A unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes at least two surfactants including from about 3 to about 20% by weight of alkyl polyglycoside and from about 15 to about 70% by weight of an additional surfactant, from about 13 to about 34% by weight of a fatty acid thereof, and less than about 30% by weight of water, with all weight percents based on a total weight of the liquid detergent composition.

A laundry or fabric cleaning composition that comprises a surfactant blend that includes a nonionic alkyl polyglucoside, and a functionalized alkyl polyglucoside component.

The present invention relates to a chemical product and process for cleaning nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, based on enzymatic action aiming to remove biofouling and inorganic scale quickly. The product mentioned in present invention also proposes elimination of the neutralization step of the chemical product used, given that the enzymatic action allows an adequate pH for disposal to be maintained, which fact increases the speed and efficiency of the process.

A solid hard surface cleaning composition suitable for replacing liquid formulations while providing at least equivalent or enhanced cleaning performance, including at lower concentrations, is provided. The solid hard surface cleaning compositions include alkali metal carbonate alkalinity source(s), aminocarboxylic acid chelant(s), amphoteric surfactant(s), polyacrylate polymer(s) and anionic surfactant(s). The solid hard surface cleaning compositions can include additional functional ingredients, such as corrosion inhibitors. The solid hard surface cleaning compositions do not include hydroxide alkalinity and beneficially provide stable ready-to-use formulations that are safe for contact without the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and are compatible with soft metals.
