A dissolvable unit dose toilet cleaning composition for use with a wand. The unit dose contains surfactant, an organic acid, an organic acid buffering agent, and a dye system including a desiccant, a water-soluble dye, and optionally a colorant. The composition is compressed into a tablet or puck wherein at least 30% dissolves in 10 minutes when submerged in toilet water. Upon exposing a surface of the unit dose composition to water in the toilet, the water-soluble dye colors the water in the toilet. Pressing the wetted surface of the unit dose composition to a surface of the toilet, the water-soluble dye colors the surface of the toilet.

A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The composition contains an anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, an organic acid, and about 10% to about 40% by weight polyethylene glycol having molecular weight greater than 3,350. A unit dose of the composition is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning.

A compressed unit dose toilet cleaning tablet for use with a wand. The unit dose contains at least 20% by weight anionic surfactant, organic acid, and an organic acid buffering agent, and desiccant and is compressed into a tablet or puck that dissolves in toilet water after cleaning. A kit contains a plurality of the tablets and a wand.

A composition for use in reducing splashing on excretion into a toilet, and optionally, the composition may be used to reduce noise and/or odor and/or to disinfect and/or to prevent accumulation of dirt on the walls of the toilet.

Composition comprising mixtures of glucam ides, process for their preparation and their use

Disclosed are compositions comprising a) 20 to 84% by weight of specific N-hydrocarbon-N-acylglucamide blend, b) 15 to 50% by weight of water, and c) 1 to 30% by weight of one or more other additives.

The compositions may be present, at a temperature of 20 C., in the form of a gel or in the form of a paste, and furthermore e.g. in the form of a monodose product.

The compositions are suitable for cleaning, scenting, conditioning or disinfection purposes, preferably in home or personal care applications.

A self-adhering cleaning block is disclosed. In some embodiments, the self-adhering cleaning block includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a handle extending out from a part of the second surface, where the material composition of the block may be essentially uniform, and where the material composition of the block may further comprise a non-ionic surfactant and a liquid component. In addition, a cleaning article including a self-adhering cleaning block is disclosed. Moreover, a method is disclosed. In certain examples the method comprises mixing a non-ionic surfactant and a liquid component to form an essentially uniform cleaning composition, and then extruding, pressing or casting the cleaning composition to form a cleaning block having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a handle extending out from a part of the second surface.

A warewashing detergent composition is provided for use for in cleaning of alkaline sensitive metals such as aluminum or aluminum containing alloys. The compositions include alternatives to sodium tripolyphosphate and/or other phosphorous containing raw materials, while retaining cleaning performance and corrosion prevention. According to the invention, high molecular weight polyacrylates (polyacrylic acid homopolymers) with a molecular weight of at least about 5000 are used as corrosion inhibitors and can be included for aluminum protection in a number of different detergent compositions.

A method for reducing water consumption in a toilet system comprises adding a water-soluble pellet to the toilet bowl prior to or following use of said toilet for urination, the pellet comprising a colourant and a fragrance for masking the colour and odour of urine residing in the toilet bowl, and preferably also disintegrant and/or an effervescent system that effervesces on contact with water, and refraining from flushing said toilet until after said toilet has been used at least one further time. The use of such water-soluble pellets serves to reduce the perceived need to flush the toilet after every use and drives positive change against wasteful water usage. The pellets are small, for example 8 mm or less in diameter and weigh 0.1-0.3 g, and can be stored in a re-sealable, refillable, reusable dispenser for personal or larger scale use. The method also serves to reduce carbon emissions and chemical usage arising from treatment of fresh and waste water.

A composition for treating a hard surface. The composition has: (a) at least one adhesion promoter; (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: anionic, non-ionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof; (c) mineral oil; (d) water; (e) optionally, at least one solvent; and wherein the composition is self-adhering upon application to a surface to be treated, and wherein the composition provides a wet film to said surface when water passes over said composition and surface.

Solid detergent compositions according to the present invention include at least one alkali metal silicate, at least one polycarboxylic acid, at least one saccharide or sugar alcohol and water. Suitable saccharides include sucrose, fructose, inulin, maltose and lactulose, and may be present in the composition in a concentration of at least 0.5 wt %. Compositions according to certain embodiments form stable solid block detergent compositions that do not swell significantly even when subjected to elevated temperatures.
