Disclosed herein are cleaning compositions, e.g., dishwashing compositions, comprising one or more anionic surfactants comprising sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), one or more amphoteric surfactants, and an additive selected from caprylyl glycol, ethanol, and a combination thereof, wherein the composition contains less than 1 ppm. The cleaning compositions may further comprise a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). Methods of making and cleaning a hard surface using such compositions are also provided.

A disinfectant cleaning composition, substantially free of quaternary ammonium antimicrobial actives, the composition comprising: a bispyridinium alkane antimicrobial active and a specific polymer.

A biomarker detection and detergent compound for use in a toilet. The biomarker detection and detergent compound comprises a biomarker detecting component and a detergent combined as a solid tablet. The tablet is positional in the tank of a toilet similar to other toilet cleaner tablets and will slowly dissolve over several weeks. The biomarker detecting component comprises at least one molecular marker configured to visually show the presence of compounds in urine that indicate a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes, and ovulation and pregnancy. The detergent is configured to clean the toilet bowl with each flush without disrupting the urinalysis.

Described herein are fabric care compositions comprising an esterquat, and a carbodiimide; along with methods of making and using same.

A disinfectant cleaning composition, substantially free of quaternary ammonium antimicrobial actives, the composition comprising: a bispyridinium alkane antimicrobial active and a specific polymer.

An antimicrobial cleaning composition having a pH of from about 2 to about 4 wherein the composition comprises a bispyridinium alkane antimicrobial active, a surfactant and an acid.

Described herein are fabric care compositions comprising an esterquat, and a carbodiimide; along with methods of making and using same.

Compounds, compositions and methods are provided as surfactants, fabric softening agents, corrosion inhibitors, bio-film inhibitors, biocides, and rheology modifiers. The multi-ionic surfactants are compounds having a structure corresponding to Formula 1, or a salt thereof:
