The invention relates to a cleaning composition comprising a) from 1 to 30 wt. % of a primary alkyl sulfate surfactant; b) from 1 to 10 wt. % of an amphoteric surfactant selected from betaines, glucamides and sultaines; and, c) from 1 to 10 wt. % of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant surfactant; wherein the ratio of primary alkyl sulfate surfactant to biosurfactant is from 8:1 to 1:10; and, wherein the ratio of primary alkyl sulfate surfactant to amphoteric surfactant is from 8:1 to 1:10; wherein the primary alkyl sulfate is a C.sub.10-C.sub.20 alkyl sulphate; to a method of treatment of a substrate; to a method of treatment of a textile; and to the use of a combination of a biosurfactant and amphoteric surfactant to improve the cold storage stability of primary alkyl sulfate containing formulations.

Methods of dishwashing to remove soils are disclosed, including a first detergent wash step, wherein the detergent is substantially-free of water conditioning agents including polycarboxylic acid polymers and phosphonates, followed by a second step of rinsing under high temperature with a water conditioning agent, namely polycarboxylic acid polymers. The methods result in little to no precipitation forming on the treated ware due to the treating of the hard water before it contacts the alkalinity source which prevents precipitation and/or flocculation from occurring.

A shaped detergent product comprising 10 to 100 wt. % of a first solid phase and 0 to 90 wt. % of one or more other phases, said first solid phase comprising: a) non-crystalline chiral aminopolycarboxylate; b) non-crystalline organic acid other than component a); c) at most 30 wt. % water; d) at most 50 wt. % of non-crystalline water-soluble component other than component a) or component b); e) at most 20 wt. % of homogeneously dispersed crystalline material; wherein the combination of the components a), b) and c) is present in the first solid phase in a concentration of at least 35 wt. % of the total weight of said solid phase; and wherein components a), b) and c) are present in the solid phase in a ratio of from 25 to 88 parts by weight of free acid equivalent of component a): from 10 to 60 parts by weight of free acid equivalent of component b) : from 2 to 30 parts by weight of component c); and wherein the shaped detergent product comprises at least 0.5 wt. % surfactant.

The invention relates to a shaped detergent product comprising 10-100 wt. % of a solid amorphous phase and 0-90 wt. % of one or more other solid phases, said solid amorphous phase comprising: 25-88 wt. % free acid equivalent of aminopolycarboxylate; 10-60 wt. % free acid equivalent of an acid, said acid not being an am inopolycarboxylate; 2-30 wt. % water;
wherein the shaped detergent product contains at least 0.5 wt. % surfactant.

Solid detergent compositions for dishwashing or warewashing compositions and applications of use are disclosed. In particular, solid carbonate-based compositions that do not require a traditional dispenser for controlled rate of release over multiple cycles are disclosed. Compositions, methods of employ and cleaning using the same are disclosed.
