The invention provides a detergent composition for the non-oxidative laundering of fabric stains, the composition comprising: (a) from 0.1 to 10% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of ethylenediamine-N,N′-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid (EDDHA) and/or salts thereof, and (b) from 3 to 80% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of one or more detersive surfactants.

Enzymes are disclosed that have anti-pilling properties and may be used in washing or cleaning agents. A washing or cleaning agent, in particular a liquid detergent, may include a cutinase. A method for cleaning textiles using such a washing or cleaning agent may be useful for removal of soiling, for reducing the pilling effects on textiles, for improving the anti-greying effects, for improving the cleaning performance of such a washing or cleaning agent, and combinations thereof. The cutinase may have at least 65% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 over the entire length thereof and have at least one or more amino acid substitutions at positions 61, 63, 66, 89, 90, 92, 155, 177, 208 and 211.

The invention concerns a surfactant composition comprising: (a) from 10 to 90 wt. % of an alcohol ethoxylate of formula R1-(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.mOH where R.sub.1 is oleyl and/or elaidic and where m is from 6 to 16; and, (b) from 10 to 90 wt. % of an alcohol ether sulfate of formula R.sub.2—(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.nOSO.sub.3H where R.sub.2 is saturated or monounsaturated linear C16 and C18 alkyl chain and n is from 5 to 20; wherein the total level of (a)+(b) is greater than 80 wt. %; a detergent composition comprising said surfactant composition; and a domestic method of treating a textile, the method comprising the step of: treating a textile with an aqueous solution of 0.5 to 20 g/L of said detergent composition.

The disclosure relates to compositions comprising a polysaccharide derivative, wherein the polysaccharide derivative comprises a polysaccharide substituted with a) at least one hydrophobic group, and b) at least one hydrophilic group, wherein the polysaccharide is poly alpha-1,3-glucan, poly alpha-1,6-glucan, or poly alpha-1,3-1,6-glucan.

The present disclosure provides liquid and unit dose laundry detergent compositions. Provided herein is a laundry detergent composition including: (a) at least one anionic surfactant, (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant, (c) at least one cationic cellulosic polymer, (d) at least one dye transfer inhibitor polymer, (e) at least one anti-redeposition polymer, and (f) water. The present disclosure also provides a unit dose laundry detergent product including: a water-soluble polymeric film; a detergent composition encapsulated by the water-soluble polymeric film, the detergent composition including: (a) at least one anionic surfactant, (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant, (c) at least one cationic cellulosic polymer, (d) at least one dye transfer inhibitor polymer, (e) at least one anti-redeposition polymer, and (g) water. Methods of making and using the disclosed laundry detergent compositions are also provided.

Detergent compositions comprising a deoxyribonuclease (DNase) and uses of DNase in the detergent are provided. The use of DNase in the detergent provides improved whiteness and anti-redeposition effects, and may reduce the use level of conventional anti-redeposition polymers.

A liquid laundry composition comprising: (i) one or more anionic surfactants; and (ii) a non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant with a degree of ethoxylation in the range of 1 to 10; wherein the total amount of anionic surfactant in the composition is in the range of 3 to 18 wt % of the total composition and the weight ratio of the total amount of anionic surfactant to the non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant is in the range of 6:1 to 60:1. Use of a liquid laundry detergent composition including said non-ionic ethoxylated C10 Guerbet alcohol surfactant for laundering textiles wherein effective foam is maintained during a main wash step and an easy rinse of the textiles is provided during a rinse step.

A fabric care composition is provided including water; a cleaning surfactant; a fabric softening silicone; and a deposition aid polymer, wherein the deposition aid polymer is a dextran polymer functionalized with quaternary ammonium moieties; wherein the deposition aid polymer enhances deposition of the fabric softening silicone from the fabric care composition onto a fabric.

Detergent compositions with improved sustainability where the level of antiredepostion polymer is reduced by use of cellulase, optionally in combination with a DNase.

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.
