An article is provided herein which includes an aqueous liquid detergent and a package for the aqueous liquid detergent which is in direct contact with the aqueous liquid detergent, wherein the package is formed from a water-soluble, film-forming material. The aqueous liquid detergent includes at least one non-linear surfactant.

The present invention is directed to rinse aid compositions and methods for making and using the rinse aid compositions. The compositions of the invention include a sheeting agent, a defoaming agent, and an association disruption agent. The rinse aid compositions of the present invention result in a faster draining/drying time on most substrates compared to conventional rinse aids. The rinse aid compositions of the present invention are especially suitable for use on plastic substrates.

The disclosure relates a surfactant package for use in hard surface cleaning compositions, preferably floor cleaning compositions which pair an anionic linear alkyl sulfonate surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a ratio of 1:1 to 9:1. This combination provides for synergistic cleaning of both proteinaceous food soils (red soils) and hydrocarbon-based oily soils (black soils) while also reducing foam produced by the composition. Synergistic nonionic surfactants include EO/PO alcohol alkoxylates or EO/PO fatty alcohol surfactants with a propylene oxide to ethylene oxide to ratio of greater than 1.

The present invention is a surfactant composition containing (a) a branched alkyl sulfosuccinate ester having a branched alkyl group with 9 or 10 carbons and (b) a surfactant [excluding (a)].

The invention includes ware detergent compositions which provides superior cleaning and removal of oily and fatty soils, without the production of excessive foam. According to the invention applicants have discovered that use of a quaternary cationic surfactant in combination with a nonionic low foaming surfactant can provide oily soil removal from ware that is superior to traditional warewash detergent formulations. Compositions for alkaline, preferably solid, warewash detergents are disclosed, as well as their use in dish machines and methods of manufacture.

The need for a liquid hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved grease removal and low suds is met using a combination of alkyl ethoxylated nonionic surfactant; an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of: an alkyl sulphate, a sulphonic acid or sulphonate surfactant, and mixtures thereof; and a co-surfactant in specific ratios.

The cleaning agent composition for hard surface contains at least one kind of carboxylic acid compound selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, a polycarboxylic acid, and any neutralized salt of these, a specific first alkyleneoxy group-containing compound, a specific second alkyleneoxy group-containing compound, and a specific oxypropylene group-containing compound.

The present disclosure is in the field of enzyme technology, in particular the lipolytic action of enzymes on fats and oils, as used, for example, in washing agents or cleaning agents. The present disclosure relates to an agent, in particular washing or cleaning agent, which contains a lipase as defined herein. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a method for the cleaning of textiles and the use of the agent as contemplated herein for the removal of soilings.

The present invention relates to cleaning compositions with improved rinse suds profile, which comprise an alkoxylated polyalkyleneimine, an organomodified silicone and a siloxane-based diluent.

An aqueous rinse aid solution for use in a dishwashing machine wherein the solution is substantially free of poloxamer type surfactants and wherein the solution produces water sheeting and spot-free dishware drying, the solution consists of food additives permitted for direct addition to food for human consumption and water.
