Provided is a defoaming agent for a liquid detergent, comprising the following components: component A1, a modified polyorganosiloxane formed by reacting a hydrogen-containing polyorganosiloxane, an unsaturated polyether and an α-olefin; component A2, a modified polyorganosiloxane formed by reacting a hydrogen-containing polyorganosiloxane, an unsaturated polyether and a bivinyl-terminated polyorganosiloxane; component B, an organosilicon composition composed of a hydrogen-containing polyorganosiloxane, a polymer composed of an acrylate and an α-olefin, silica and an organosilicon resin; component C, a thickening agent; and component ID, water. An excellent compatibility between the modified polyorganosiloxanes A1 and A2 enables the defoaming agent to exhibit an excellent defoaming performance, stability and clarity in a laundry detergent.

##STR00001## A fabric conditioner composition comprising a branched amine functional silicone, such as an amine functional silicone of structure: The branched amine functional silicone can reduce the time needed for drying fabric and reduce the amount of foam generated during laundering to reduce the amount of water needed for rinsing.

Described herein, are rinse-free laundry care compositions comprising: a surfactant scavenger; an acrylate thickening agent; and a non-ionic surfactant; wherein the non-ionic surfactant and surfactant scavenger are present in a weight ratio of from about 5:1 to about 30:1. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described.

The present application relates to compositions, such as, cleaning and treatment compositions comprising an antifoam and methods of making and using such compositions. Such compositions comprise benefit agents that typically impact the performance of antifoams yet in the present compositions antifoaming properties of antifoams are maintained.

The present application relates to cleaning and treatment compositions comprising a material that reduces foam and methods of making and using such material and compositions. Such compositions comprise benefit agents that typically impact the performance of antifoams yet in the present compositions antifoaming properties of antifoams are maintained.

The present application relates to anti-foam compositions and methods of making and using such compositions as well as consumer products that comprise such compositions and the use of same. Such anti-foam compositions have low viscosities yet are effective antifoamers.

A cleaning composition, preferably a granular laundry detergent composition, contains 1.5 wt % to 10 wt % of soap particles characterized by a particle size distribution with from 35 wt % to 100 wt % of soap particles having particle sizes ranging from about 125 microns to about 355 microns. Soap particles with such a particle size distribution are surprisingly more effective in boosting suds volume of the cleaning composition during a fabric washing cycle.

A method for improving sudsing profile of laundry detergent compositions with a cationic polymer. Related liquid detergent compositions having a cationic polymer. The cationic polymer may be characterized by having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) ranging from 1,000 to 300,000 Daltons and by containing: (i) from 35 mol % to 85 mol % of a first, nonionic structural unit derived from (meth)acrylamide (AAm); (ii) from 10 mol % to 65 mol % of a second, cationic structural unit; and (iii) from 0.1 mol % to 35 mol % of a third, anionic structural unit derived from (meth)acrylic acid (AA) or anhydride thereof, while the total mol % of (i)-(iii) adds up to 100 mol %, and the molar ratio of (ii) to (iii) is greater than 1.

This disclosure relates to compositions containing 1) at least one water soluble polar aprotic organic solvent; 2) at least one quaternary ammonium hydroxide; 3) at least one carboxylic acid; 4) at least one Group II metal cation; 5) at least one copper corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of 6-substituted-2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazines; and 6) water, in which the composition is free of a compound comprising at least three hydroxyl groups. The compositions can effectively strip positive or negative-tone resists or resist residues, and be non-corrosive to bumps and underlying metallization materials (such as SnAg, CuNiSn, CuCoCu, CoSn, Ni, Cu, Al, W, Sn, Co, and the like) on a semiconductor substrate.
