The present disclosure relates to a laundry sheet manufactured using polyvinyl alcohol or a polyvinyl-alcohol-based copolymer and containing a surfactant, in which the surfactant includes a main surfactant and a cosurfactant. The main surfactant includes a first main surfactant and a second main surfactant, and the first main surfactant and the second main surfactant are different from each other, each of the first main surfactant and the second main surfactant independently including a C8-C18 alkyl sulfate alkali metal salt. The cosurfactant includes two or more different surfactants, one of which is fatty acid alkyl ester alkoxylate and the remaining one of which is a nonionic surfactant.

Quaternary ammonium, betaine, or sulfobetaine compositions derived from fatty amines, wherein the fatty amine is made by reducing the amide reaction product of a metathesis-derived C.sub.10-C.sub.17 monounsaturated acid, octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their ester derivatives and a secondary amine, are disclosed. Quaternary ammonium, betaine, or sulfobetaine compositions derived from fatty amidoamines, wherein the amidoamine is made by reacting of a metathesis-derived C.sub.10-C.sub.17 monounsaturated acid, octadecene-1,18-dioic acid, or their ester derivatives and an aminoalkyl-substituted tertiary amine, are also disclosed. The quaternized compositions are advantageously sulfonated or sulfitated. In one aspect, the ester derivative of the C.sub.10-C.sub.17 monounsaturated acid or octadecene-1,18-dioic acid is a lower alkyl ester. In other aspects, the ester derivative is a modified triglyceride made by self-metathesis of a natural oil or an unsaturated triglyceride made by cross-metathesis of a natural oil with an olefin. The quaternary ammonium, betaine, and sulfobetaine compositions and their sulfonated or sulfitated derivatives are valuable for a wide variety of end uses, including cleaners, fabric treatment, hair conditioning, personal care (liquid cleansing products, conditioning bars, oral care products), antimicrobial compositions, agricultural uses, and oil field applications.

A laundry additive composition comprising a) at least one oxylated material chosen from polyoxyalkylene, a poly-oxyalkylene fatty acid ester, and a polyoxyalkylene fatty alcohol ether; b) a polyol; c) a coloring agent; and d) at least one additive chosen from fragrance and a fabric treatment material. The composition can deliver the additive to clothing during washing or rinsing of the clothes, such as to impart a fragrance to clothing.

The present disclosure is directed to a nonwoven product and methods of making the same. The nonwoven product includes a nonwoven material formed of a fibrous material, the nonwoven material comprising one or more plies, the nonwoven material comprising a first side, a second side, a cross direction and a machine direction, wherein the cross direction is substantially perpendicular to the machine direction, the nonwoven material comprising a number of perforations extending substantially in the cross direction and substantially in the machine direction, wherein the number of perforations extending substantially in the machine direction form a first section of the nonwoven material, the first section comprising a soap material.

The disclosure provides a cleaning composition for cleaning a hard surface, comprising: a) an oil and/or fat, wherein the oil and/or fat is from 1% to 20% by weight based on a total weight of the composition; b) a polyol; c) a surfactant, wherein a weight ratio of the surfactant to the oil and/or fat is equal to or greater than 1:5. The disclosure further relates to a method of preparing the cleaning composition and uses thereof.

A low dose of borax and of liquid detergent is delivered to wash water in a multi-chamber single dose unit containing borax in a powder chamber and a liquid detergent in a liquid chamber. The treatment removes proteinaceous stains without a proteinase enzyme.

A process for making a surfactant composition is disclosed. In the process, a mixture comprising a sugar alcohol and fatty is formed. The mixture contains less than 5% by weight of water based on the total weight of the mixture. The mixture is reacted with an alkylene oxide to make a surfactant composition containing an alkoxylated sugar alcohol fatty acid ester and a polyalkylene glycol fatty acid ester. A surfactant composition and use of the surfactant composition to separate an oil phase and/or an aqueous phase from an emulsion is also disclosed.
