An improved cleaning composition in block form is described. The composition addresses the consumer issues of having a clear product that remains clear through the life of the product and also has favorable handling properties such as a high melting point and increased hardness. The improvements are the result of three essential ingredients of particular block copolymer nonionic surfactants, alkanecarboxylic salts, and particular solvents at restricted proportions in the overall composition that are molded into a cleaning composition in block form that exhibits a high melting point, hardness and high optical transmittance.

Cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes that include a dispersin and a carbohydrase. Said compositions may be used in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic stains.

Provided is a cleaning agent composition that is capable of efficiently performing the substitution of a molding raw material in a hot runner type mold. The cleaning agent composition contains 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin; 1 part by weight to 20 parts by weight of at least one type of fatty acid ester that is selected from glycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, or sorbitan fatty acid ester; and 1 part by weight to 15 parts by weight of a metal salt of a fatty acid and/or a hydroxyfatty acid. The cleaning agent composition is used for cleaning a flow channel for resin in a hot runner type mold.

A unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes at least two surfactants including from about 3 to about 20% by weight of alkyl polyglycoside and from about 15 to about 70% by weight of an additional surfactant, from about 13 to about 34% by weight of a fatty acid thereof, and less than about 30% by weight of water, with all weight percents based on a total weight of the liquid detergent composition.

An article is provided herein which includes an aqueous liquid detergent and a package for the aqueous liquid detergent which is in direct contact with the aqueous liquid detergent, wherein the package is formed from a water-soluble, film-forming material. The aqueous liquid detergent includes at least one non-linear surfactant.

A cleaning agent composition contains 100 parts by weight of polyethylene oxide; 25 parts by weight to 90 parts by weight of at least one type of fatty acid ester that is selected from glycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, or sorbitan fatty acid ester; and 15 parts by weight to 45 parts by weight of a metal salt of a fatty acid and/or a hydroxyfatty acid. The cleaning agent composition is used for cleaning a flow channel for resin in a hot runner type mold.

A method of making an opacified liquid detergent composition is disclosed. The method includes the steps of combining at least one anionic surfactant, a fatty acid, and water to form a mixture having a transparent optical appearance, then adding divalent cations to the mixture, and opacifying the mixture as the divalent cations interact with the fatty acid to form the opacified liquid detergent composition in the absence of a microplastic opacifier. The opacified liquid detergent composition having a turbidity value of greater than about 250 turbidity units (NTUs) measured utilizing a turbidity meter at about 24° C.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a solid free-flowing particulate laundry detergent composition, wherein the process includes the steps of: (a) forming a mixture by contacting: (i) molten fatty acid; (ii) liquid alkaline ingredient, and (iii) non-ionic surfactant, to obtain a mixture, wherein the mixture includes: (i) partially neutralized fatty acid component; (ii) non-ionic surfactant; and (iii) water, wherein the molar ratio of fatty acid to liquid alkaline ingredient contacted together in step (a) is above 1:1; (b) contacting the mixture obtained in step (a) to a detergent powder to form a solid free-flowing particulate laundry detergent composition, wherein in step (b) the mixture is contacted to the detergent powder by spraying the mixture at a temperature of greater than 50° C. onto the detergent powder, wherein the detergent powder includes a detergent ingredient.

The present invention provides a transparent or translucent, self-standing, automatic dishwashing gel, comprising a water-soluble C.sub.14-C.sub.22 fatty acid salt, at least 50 wt % liquid non-ionic surfactant, less than 15 wt % water, and optionally a polar organic solvent.

A cleaning composition, preferably a granular laundry detergent composition, contains 1.5 wt % to 10 wt % of soap particles characterized by a particle size distribution with from 35 wt % to 100 wt % of soap particles having particle sizes ranging from about 125 microns to about 355 microns. Soap particles with such a particle size distribution are surprisingly more effective in boosting suds volume of the cleaning composition during a fabric washing cycle.
