A liquid hand dishwashing detergent composition containing cationic poly alpha-1,6-glucan ether compound, methods of making the liquid hand dishwashing detergent compositions, and methods of using said liquid hand dishwashing detergent compositions, which provide improved rinsing, solution feel, and finished product viscosity control.

Unit dose detergent packs and detergent compositions are provided. A unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch made of a water-soluble film and a detergent composition encapsulated within the pouch. The detergent composition includes a surfactant component including (1) an alcohol ethoxy sulfate having a C.sub.8-C.sub.20 backbone ethoxylated with from about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide, (2) at least one non-ionic surfactant having an alkoxylated alcohol, and (3) at least one anionic surfactant having a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate wherein (1), (2), and (3) are present in a weight ratio of actives of about (0 to 0.5):(0.05 to 0.9):(0 to 0.75). The detergent composition also includes water and a rheology control agent. The rheology control agent is selected from ethylene glycol monohexyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, an ethoxylated ester, polyethylene glycol 400, an alkoxylated amine, and combinations of two or more thereof.

A cleaning product includes a spray dispenser and a cleaning composition. The composition is housed in the spray dispenser. The cleaning composition includes from 5% to 25% of a surfactant system by weight of the composition. The surfactant system includes alkyl polyglucoside surfactant; a co-surfactant selected from zwitterionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, or mixtures thereof; and less than 3% by weight of the cleaning composition of anionic surfactant. The alkyl polyglucoside surfactant and the co-surfactant are present at a weight ratio of from 10:1 to 1:2. The cleaning composition further includes 0.1% to 10% of an organic solvent by weight of the composition. The pH of the composition is less than 8 as measured neat at 20° C.

An antimicrobial composition comprising: a) C2-C8 alkylated polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer; and b) biocidal agent selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorohexidine salts, polymeric biguanides, organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, tertiary alkyl amines, iodophors and mixtures thereof.

An improved cleaning composition in block form is described. The composition addresses the consumer issues of having a clear product that remains clear through the life of the product and also has favorable handling properties such as a high melting point and increased hardness. The improvements are the result of three essential ingredients of particular block copolymer nonionic surfactants, alkanecarboxylic salts, and particular solvents at restricted proportions in the overall composition that are molded into a cleaning composition in block form that exhibits a high melting point, hardness and high optical transmittance.

Suggested is a rim block with improved scent performance, comprising or consisting of: (a) a solid rim block base, (b) at least one non-encapsulated perfume oil, and (c) at least one perfume oil same or different from component (b) encapsulated in a maltodextrin matrix.

Compositions comprising a sugar alkoxylate and processes for preparing said compositions are provided. The compositions can be used as a bio-film inhibitor, rheology modifier, emulsion breaker, and/or emulsion inverter. Additionally, the compositions can be used in methods of breaking and/or inverting an emulsion of water and oil.
