The need for an all-purpose hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved removal of greasy soap scum and water-marks, especially on inclined surfaces, is met by formulating an alkaline composition with an alkyl pyrrolidone, and a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of: an amine oxide surfactant; a betaine surfactant; and mixtures thereof.

Described herein are home care compositions (e.g., aqueous liquid compositions), which may be used as a hand dishwashing composition, comprising laureth sulfate having 1 moiety or less of an ethylene oxide group, alkyl aryl sulfonate, a blend of C.sub.9-11 branched primary alcohols, and an amine oxide or betaine amphoteric surfactant. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described.

Described herein is an automatic dishwashing (ADW) composition including as component (A) at least one imidazole-based compound selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or at least monosubstituted imidazole and benzimidazole. The automatic dishwashing composition may include further components, such as polyakylene imines (component (B)), at least one silicate (component (C)) and/or at least one chelating agent (component (D)). Also described herein is a process for cleaning dishware using said ADW composition as well as a method of using said ADW composition, for example, to reduce any corrosion on the items to be dishwashed (dishware). Also described herein is a method of using at least one imidazole-based compound according to component (A) as a corrosion inhibitor in automatic dishwashing processes.

The present disclosure relates generally to cleaning compositions and, more specifically, to cleaning compositions containing an etheramine that is suitable for removal of stains from soiled materials.

Compositions are disclosed that include PEG-modified triglycerides as a surfactant. The mixtures form stable microemulsions with oils and fatty acids which can be the resultant product, such as lubricants, sunscreens, or triglyceride-based products. These emulsions or microemulsions are stable, irreversible, and can be created at low temperature. These can be used in detergents, rinse aids and the like to form microemulsions to remove oils and greasy soils, such as non-trans fats and fatty acids from substrates/surfaces often without the need for linker or other cosurfactants. Methods of making the compositions/microemulsions are included as well as uses thereof.

The need for a liquid hand-dishwashing composition which provides further improved sudsing volume and longevity when washing dishware, especially at elevated temperatures, using diluted liquid hand dishwashing compositions, and especially in the presence of greasy soil and particulate soil, while avoiding unsightly residues on dishware, is met by combining a sudsing surfactant system with an EO-PO-EO triblock copolymer and a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant.

The need for a liquid detergent composition for washing dishes which provides effective removal of both crystalline and polymerised grease, while requiring less time and effort to clean and rinse the dishes, is met when the composition is formulated with a surfactant system having an anionic surfactant, a co-surfactant, and an esteramine.
