Buildup in a plumbing fixture is removed by providing a bag containing a quantity of concentrated fixture cleaning chemicals and then securing the bag to the fixture to be cleaned. After securing the bag to the fixture, the bag is filled with water from the fixture which mixes with the concentrated chemicals to create a cleaning solution that covers the fixture, and then the fixture is allowed to soak in the created cleaning solution to thereby dissolve the buildup.

A method for manufacturing a dye scavenging substrate which comprises the steps of: (a) providing an absorbent substrate; (b) passing the substrate through a bath containing an alkaline solution of a dye scavenging compound selected from: (i) a N-trisubstituted ammonium-2-hydroxy-3-halopropyl compound having the general formula (I), or (ii) a salt of epoxy propyl ammonium having the general formula (II), or a combination thereof; (c) subjecting the substrate to a pressure of from about 0.04 MPa to about 0.40 MPa; (d) wrapping the substrate in a water impermeable material and rotating the substrate for a period of from about 12 hours to about 60 hours; (e) removing the water impermeable material and passing the substrate through a bath containing an acid solution; (f) subjecting the substrate to a pressure of from about 0.15 MPa to about 0.40 MPa; and (g) drying the substrate.

A composition including: a plurality of first particles including: (i) about 30% to about 95% by weight of the first particles a water soluble first carrier, wherein the first particles have a first particles onset of melt from about 25° C. to about 120° C.; and perfume; and (ii) a plurality of second particles including: about 30% to about 95% by weight of the second particles a water soluble second carrier, wherein the second particles have a second particles onset of melt from about 25° C. to about 120° C.; and silicone; wherein the first particles and the second particles are in a package.

The disclosure relates a surfactant package for use in hard surface cleaning compositions, preferably floor cleaning compositions which pair an anionic linear alkyl sulfonate surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a ratio of 1:1 to 9:1. This combination provides for synergistic cleaning of both proteinaceous food soils (red soils) and hydrocarbon-based oily soils (black soils) while also reducing foam produced by the composition. Synergistic nonionic surfactants include EO/PO alcohol alkoxylates or EO/PO fatty alcohol surfactants with a propylene oxide to ethylene oxide to ratio of greater than 1.

The need for a light duty maintenance cleaning spray for hard surfaces, which result in less over-spray during application, especially when using spray applicators which provide large coverage angles, and provides more uniform coverage, especially on inclined surfaces, is met when the spray composition is formulated with low surfactant levels and thickener, and is applied as spray droplets having the desired particle size.

The present application relates to silicone compounds, compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such silicone compounds, and processes for making and using such compositions, packaged products and displays comprising such compositions. Such compositions have improved deposition and retention properties that may impart improved benefit characteristics to a composition and/or situs yet which changes its hydrophilicity/charge when desired.
