The invention relates to drain cleaning compositions including relatively high concentrations of a hypochlorite oxidizing agent and a hydroxide (e.g., 4 to 12% and 2.5 to 10%, respectively. The composition further includes a surfactant (e.g., a surfactant blend, water, and exhibits a very high pH (e.g., at least 13). The composition is monophasic, even at high oxidizing and hydroxide concentrations. The surfactant may include a blend of an uncharged surfactant (e.g., an amphoteric surfactant or nonionic surfactant) and a charged surfactant (e.g., anionic, cationic, or a surfactant that becomes so under the high pH conditions of the composition). The ratio of charged to uncharged surfactant may be at least 1:10, e.g., from 1:10 to about 1:50.

The invention relates to the field of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular peptide-containing detergents and cleaning agents, and relates to the use of a peptide, in particular an antimicrobially active peptide, in a detergent and cleaning agent for cleaning textiles and/or hard surfaces, in particular dishes, and/or household surfaces. The detergent and cleaning agent according to the invention preferably comprises an antimicrobially active peptide, at least one surfactant, a builder system, and optionally at least one enzyme. Furthermore, the invention relates to corresponding agents and methods.

A composition of which the main surfactant content is mainly bio based shows a high cleaning capability in the cleaning of textiles or fabrics. Biosurfactants and fatty acid salts further support the cleaning capability for cleaning of fatty stains. A method for cleaning a surface of an article includes combining the composition and the article with water, maintaining a temperature of the water of from 15 C. to 100 C., over a period of from 15 minutes to 240 minutes, while tentatively moving the article in the water, separating the article from the water, and optionally rinsing the article with further water.

The present invention relates to a core-and-shell laundry composition, wherein the shell comprises: at least one amphoteric surfactant, at least two anionic surfactants, wherein a first anionic surfactant comprises or consists of at least one alkanolamine soap, and at least one polar organic solvent; wherein the shell is in the form of a self-standing gel or a solid at a temperature lower than 50 C. The invention also relates to a method of cleaning a stain on a laundry item and optionally washing the laundry item and to the use of the composition according to the invention for the removal of stains form a garment and/or the removal of malodour form a garment and/or the reduction or elimination of bacteria, viruses and/or fungi from a garment.

The disclosure provides a liquid antiadhesive composition for unvulcanized rubber having excellent anti-adhesion properties and an excellent balance between liquid transferability and stability. The liquid antiadhesive composition for unvulcanized rubber of the disclosure includes: components (A) to (D) below; and water, in which a mass ratio (A)/(D) of the following component (A) to the following component (D) is 5 to 500. (A): Water-soluble polymer other than component (D) (B): Metal soap (C): Surfactant (D): One or more kinds of compounds selected from water-soluble polymers in which thixotropic index (2 rpm/20 rpm) of 2 mass % aqueous solution at 20 C. is 4.0 or more.
