The present invention relates to a method of washing textile articles that can be carried out, for example, in a continuous batch tunnel washer. Embodiments of the present method can include treating the textile with an aqueous composition including cleaning agent and bleaching agent for a time sufficient to remove soil from the textile and contacting the halogen-treated textile with an aqueous composition including a peroxycarboxylic acid. The concentration of bleach after the sufficient time can be at a level that does not result in adverse interaction between the bleaching agent and the peroxycarboxylic acid.

The present invention relates to a method of washing textile articles that can be carried out, for example, in a continuous batch tunnel washer. Embodiments of the present method can include treating the textile with an aqueous composition including cleaning agent and halogen-containing bleaching agent for a time sufficient to remove soil from the textile and contacting the halogen-treated textile with an aqueous composition including a peroxycarboxylic acid. The concentration of halogen after the sufficient time can be at a level that does not result in adverse interaction between the halogen-containing bleaching agent and the peroxycarboxylic acid.

Embodiments of the present method can clean textiles with the results of more effective stain removal and less waste through destruction of the textile article. Further, the present invention can clean a textile contacted soiled by a composition including chlorhexidine gluconate without resulting staining of the textile, which staining could have been permanent.

A solid free-flowing particulate laundry detergent composition, wherein the composition including a detersive surfactant, an iron-based bleach catalyst and a peroxygen-based bleach, and the composition having an equilibrium pH at 20 C. at a concentration of 10 g/l in deionized water of 10.0 or less.

A method for treating dishware in a domestic automatic dishwashing appliance is provided. The method uses order of addition of chemistry into the washing zone of the domestic automatic dishwashing appliance.

Water disintegrable, foam producing articles comprise a soluble fibrous structure encasing a particulate effervescent cleaning composition comprising an effervescent agent, a particulate foaming surfactant, an effervescent activator, optionally an effervescent protection agent, and optionally an active agent. Methods of using the articles to clean surfaces are also provided.
