A process for making a particle, the particle includes: a) a nitrogen-containing cleaning-active in the form of a salt wherein the salt has a pH in 1% weight aqueous solution measured at 25° C. greater than 9; and b) a malodour-reducing agent including an acid group wherein the process includes the step of adding the malodour-reducing agent to the nitrogen-containing cleaning-active wherein the malodour-reducing agent is added in the absence of water.

A detergent composition including permethrin is disclosed that is particularly adapted to launder clothing or other personal fabrics. Laundering clothing with composition provides effective insect repellant properties to the clothing for at least 14 days. The detergent composition is especially useful for control of mosquitoes and other insects, thereby reducing the incidence of malaria, zika virus, and other diseases.

Process for making a granule containing (A) at least one chelating agent selected from alkali metal salts of methyl glycine diacetic acid (MGDA) and of iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), and, optionally, (B) at least one homo- or copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid, partially or fully neutralized with alkali,
said process comprising the steps of (a) providing an aqueous solution or slurry containing chelating agent (A) and, if applicable, (co)polymer (B), (b) removing most of said water by spray granulation in a fluidized bed, (c) treating the resultant granule in a vessel of which at least one part rotates around a horizontal axis and wherein said vessel is selected from paddle mixers, free-fall mixers and plough share mixers.

The present invention relates to laundry powder detergent compositions comprising: Z1) one or more surfactants on magnesium carbonate carrier and Z2) one or more anionic surfactants which are not present on a carrier. These laundry powder detergent compositions may be used for cleaning of textiles which can be carried out in an automatic washing machine or as manual cleaning.

A method for formulating a cleaning composition contains the step of coating a granular absorbent material with a coating agent to produce a coated absorbent material and mixing the coated absorbent material with a sanitation agent, wherein the coated absorbent material absorbs the sanitation agent to form the cleaning composition. The resulting cleaning composition may be used for cleaning up pathogens or hazardous materials. The cleaning composition may also functions as a liquefiable dry cleaning powder for public areas in response to bodily fluid incidents. A coating method of a non-toxic bio static film on a high surface area solid is disclosed.

A process for making a particulate laundry detergent composition, the process includes the steps: (a) contacting water, starch, acid and perfume to form a concentrated aqueous acidic mixture, the concentrated acidic mixture includes: (i) from about 20 wt % to about 60 wt % starch; (ii) from about 10 wt % to about 50 wt % acid; (ii) from about 2 wt % to about 20 wt % perfume; (iv) from 10 wt % to less than about 45 wt % water; the concentrated acidic mixture has a pH of less than about 4.5; (b) subjecting the concentrated acidic mixture to a perfume emulsification step to emulsify the perfume to form an emulsified perfume mixture in fluid form; and (c) spraying the emulsified perfume mixture in fluid form onto base detergent particles so that the emulsified perfume mixture at least partially coats the base detergent particles to form the particulate laundry detergent composition, the base detergent particles includes from about 4 wt % to about 60 wt % detersive surfactant.

A method for formulating a composition contains the step of coating a granular absorbent material with a coating agent to produce a coated absorbent material and mixing the coated absorbent material with a sanitation agent, wherein the coated absorbent material absorbs the sanitation agent to form the liquid loading composition. Liquid-loading compositions that can absorb liquids in many applications, including clean-up and farming, are also disclosed.

A cleaning composition comprising a particle said particle comprising: (a) from 30 to 70% by weight thereof of a polymer having a softening point in the range from about 20° C. to about 60° C.; (b) from 20 to 60% by weight thereof of a first material having a BET surface area greater than 100 m2/g and a D50 from about 5 to about 20 μm; (c) from 3 wt % to 15% by weight thereof of a second material having a BET surface area from about 0.01 to about 5 m2/g and a D50 from about 30 to about 100 μm.
