Solid laundry softening compositions and applications of use are disclosed. Solid laundry softening compositions combine quaternary ammonium compounds with an inorganic carrier to provide a flowable powder for solidification in a pressed or extruded solid composition. A high loading of quaternary ammonium compound in the inorganic carrier, including an inorganic salt, can be further combined with softening boosters, processing aids, surfactants, and/or additional functional ingredients to provide stable solid compositions.

The product of the invention allows cleaning products to be obtained by substantially increasing the oil-to-soap conversion rate to minimise the amount of product to be used, with minimum energy use and maximum transformation speed, allowing work with large volumes of oil. For this purpose, the product for obtaining cleaning products from vegetable oils comprises the following composition in % by weight: sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) between 9 and 11%, anhydrous trisodium phosphate between 4.5 and 6%, sodium stearate between 0.1 and 0.3%, xanthan gum between 0.5 and 0.7%, optionally brightener and/or perfume, and the amount of water needed to reach 100%.

The present disclosure describes a peroxide based cleaning composition comprising a peroxide; a builder; a surfactant; a peroxide stabilizer; and remainder water and optional adjuvant. In various embodiments, the cleaning composition comprises hydrogen peroxide, sodium bicarbonate, a vegetable fatty acid potassium soap, glycerin, water and essential oil. The peroxide based cleaning composition exhibits storage stability for up to about 9-months and provides cleaning efficacy on a wide variety of hard surfaces and fabrics.

A cleaner useful in removing undesirable polymeric material deposits adhered within small bore holes of electronic components is provided, as well as apparatus and methods for carrying out cleaning of such components.

Solid rinse aid compositions and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. Solid rinse aid compositions include in a single concentrate composition a pyrithione preservative system to replace conventional preservatives in the isothiazolinone family, such as chloromethylisothiazolinone. Beneficially, the pyrithione preservative systems eliminate the need for any personal protective equipment to handle the solid rinse aid compositions. Methods of making and use using the rinse aids are also disclosed.
