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

Catechol metal complex compounds of formula (I) ##STR00001##
are colored and can be used to give color to surfactant compositions. Detergents containing these catechol metal complex compounds do not stain the textile even after repeated use.

A liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition having from 15% to 40% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system. The surfactant system has an anionic surfactant and from 5% to 18.4% of a nonionic surfactant package by weight of the composition. The weight ratio of the nonionic surfactant package to the anionic surfactant ranges from 1:1 to 3:1. The nonionic surfactant has a mixture of a first nonionic surfactant and a second nonionic surfactant. The first nonionic surfactant includes an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant. The surfactant system further includes a co-surfactant. The weight ratio of the anionic surfactant to the co-surfactant ranges from 1:1 to 8:1. The composition is free of fatty acid or salts thereof.

The invention relates to solidification of liquid amine oxide, betaine, and/or sultaine surfactants with a binder to form a solidified surfactant composition. In particular, the invention relates to solidification of liquid surfactants utilizing drying device(s), wherein the feed composition contains at least one liquid surfactant and a binder and optional carrier to form a solidified surfactant composition. The solidified surfactant compositions can be useful in various cleaning compositions.
