The present invention relates to a hand dishwashing cleaning composition. In particular, the composition includes a surfactant system having an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant. The alkyl polyglucoside surfactant component allows for good dissolution profile of the composition during both manual dishwashing conditions with detergents dosed into a full sink or detergents directly dosed onto a sponge and washed under the tap. Process for preparing the composition and methods of use are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a hand dishwashing cleaning composition including a desirable foam rheology profile. In particular, the composition includes a surfactant system comprising an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant having a mixture of: (a) 60% or more of a first alkyl polyglucoside surfactant material having an average carbon chain length between 10 and 12; and (b) 40% or less of a second alkyl polyglucoside surfactant material having an average alkyl carbon chain length between 12 and 16. Such compositions exhibit surprising and unexpected good sudsing profile, preferably suitable suds rheology and aesthetics, especially when applied onto a cleaning implement upon dilution with wash water during the dishwashing process.

Provided is a method of producing a three-dimensional object, including: a first step of placing and laminating a water-insoluble structural material and a support material each containing a water-soluble material and a fiber material to form a material layer; and a second step of bringing a portion of the shaped object including the support material into contact with a liquid containing water and a bipolar surfactant to remove the portion.

Described are compositions and methods relating to the removal of oily stains from fabrics and other surfaces using a lipase in combination with a selected surfactant to mediate the release of fatty acids generated by the lipase. The compositions and methods have application in, e.g., laundry cleaning and dishwashing.

A photosensitive microcapsule having a shell encapsulating a core material. The core material can comprise a benefit agent and the shell can comprise a photosensitive polymer. The photosensitive polymer can include one or more photosensitive moieties having a substituted amine and a 1,3 dione moiety. The core material can be released from the photosensitive microcapsule upon exposure to an electromagnetic radiation field selected from the group consisting of infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation and mixtures thereof.

Methods of cleaning equipment such as hand tools dirtied by bituminous mixture. A biodiesel emulsion comprising biodiesel, water and emulsifier(s), is applied to the surface of the equipment for a period of time (e.g., at least about 15 minutes) and optionally agitated. The biodiesel emulsion produces cleaning properties comparable to straight biodiesel, at a cost reduction, due to the replacement of biodiesel with water.

A system, non-transitory computer readable medium, and method are provided for determining patient care services for a patient being treated for a life-threatening or life-limiting progressive illness. Patient symptoms are identified by receiving data comprising personal health information of a patient. The level of distress of the patient is determined by analyzing the data comprising personal health information of the patent. A score is established based on criteria comprising the level of distress of the patient and a severity of the patient symptoms. The score correlates the level of distress of the patient with a clinical course of the life-threatening or life-limiting progressive illness. One or more patient care services appropriate for the clinical course of the life-threatening or life-limiting progressive illness and the level of distress of the patient is determined based on the score.

Disclosed is a surfactant composition in which at least one of surface tension and interfacial tension is superior, the composition including a fluorinated surfactant and a phospholipid-based surfactant, and optionally further including a sulfosuccinate-based surfactant.
