A laundry detergent formulation is provided that is formed as an aqueous blend of surfactants, enzymes, builders, and soil release polymers to inhibit soil re-deposition back onto other clothing or elements of the washing machine. The detergent formulation also contains additives with properties that impart a treatment to fabrics that inhibits future soil deposition onto the clothing with continued use. The detergent formulation provides cleaning of heavy duty grease and automotive soils from clothing surfaces that is superior to current detergent products.

Acidic viscoelastic cleaning compositions are disclosed which use non polymer thickening agents. According to the invention, cleaning compositions have been developed using viscoelastic surfactants in acidic cleaning formulations. These provide the dual benefit of thickening as well as an additional cleaning, thereby improving performance. Applicants have also identified several pseudo linking agents which when, used with viscoelastic surfactants provide enhanced viscoelasticity and cleaning.

A liquid detergent composition having a perfume oil comprising perfume raw material selected from the group consisting of: aldehyde, ketone, ketals, and mixtures thereof, and a hindered primary amine, having improved colour and odour.

A method of eliminating odor by utilizing a tablet that is formed from sodium carbonate, sodium percarbonate, polyethylene glycol, and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The tablet is dissolved within water in order to form a scent neutralizing solution and then applied to an individual's clothing to eliminate the scent of the individual for hunting purposes.

A multi-component detergent, including at least two components, that is contained in a container having at least two chambers, wherein a first component K1 is a first liquid composition, containing at least one catechol metal complex compound of formula (I) ##STR00001##
and at least one free catechol compound of formula (II) or the salt thereof ##STR00002##
with the proviso that the catechol compound of formula (II) and the salt thereof are different from the compounds of formula (I), and a second component K2 is a second liquid composition, containing at least one surfactant. The present invention further relates to the use of the multi-component detergent for removing bleachable stains and a method for washing textiles using the multi-component detergent.

A low-viscosity liquid detergent composition comprising an antifoam and a non-ionic surfactant.

A flowable detergent preparation including, based on the total weight thereof, a) 0.5 to 10 wt. % of a polyalkoxylated amine having a weight-average molecular weight Mw in the range of 600 g/mol to 10000 g/mol, which is obtainable by reacting ammonia or primary alkyl or hydroxyalkylamines having a molecular weight less than 200 g/mol, with alkylene oxides; b) 0.5 to 5 wt. % polyalkoxylated polyalkyleneimine, which is obtainable by reacting polyalkyleneimines with alkylene oxides; c) 5 to 15 wt. % alkyl ether sulfate; and a textile washing method using these detergent preparations.
