A solid, particulate composition including, based on the total weight of the composition, a) 20 to 95 wt. % of at least one water-soluble carrier material selected from hydrous salts of which the water vapor partial pressure corresponds, at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100 C., to the H.sub.2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of the salt; b) 0.1 to 20 wt. % fragrance; and c) 0.01 to 20 wt. % of at least one wash-enhancing compound. The invention further relates to the use and a method for the preparation of a solid, particulate composition.

The present invention relates to a detergent composition for textile products containing the following component (A) and component (B): component (A): an internal olefin sulfonate having 15 or more and 24 or less carbon atoms and including an internal olefin sulfonate having 15 or more and 24 or less carbon atoms with the sulfonate group at position 5 or higher, and component (B): a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of more than 10.5 and 19 or less.

The present invention relates to a method for washing clothing, including washing clothing with a detergent liquid having a pH of 3.5 or more and 8.5 or less at 20 C. obtained by mixing the following component (A) and component (B), and water having a hardness: component (A): an internal olefin sulfonate having 15 or more and 24 or less carbon atoms; and component (B): protease.

The invention provides layered granules comprising a core and a matrix coating surrounding the core. The matrix comprises a biological active and a non-volatile liquid, and may be applied using a fluidized bed spray coater (fluid-bed coating). The granules exhibit reduced release of biological active dust, such as enzyme dust, after subjecting the granules to mechanical stress.

The present invention relates to an ear-cleansing agent for companion animals and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to an ear-cleansing agent for companion animals, which includes distilled Chamaecyparis obtusa water extracted from Chamaecyparis obtusa trees so as to enable antibacterial action, deodorization, and exfoliation and which does not include a surfactant so that the skin is not irritated even when the ear-cleansing agent is not washed away using water, and a method of manufacturing the same.

Detergent compositions comprising a surfactant system which is 10 wt % to 70 wt % soap. Detergent compositions which are easily rinsed. Laundry methods using such compositions.

The present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition for textile products containing the following component (A) in an amount of 10% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less, the following component (B), and water: component (A): an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 or more and 16 or less carbon atoms, wherein the mass ratio of an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 or more and 16 or less carbon atoms with the sulfonate group at position 2 or higher and position 4 or lower (IO-1S) to an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 or more and 16 or less carbon atoms with the sulfonate group at position 5 or higher (IO-2S), (IO-1S)/(IO-2S), is 0.50 or more and 4.2 or less; and Component (B): an organic solvent having a hydroxy group.
