Related methods of using and making such compositions.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing greying of a fabric when using a composition comprising a quaternary ammonium compound, for example, a fabric conditioning composition comprising a quaternary ammonium compound. The invention involves the use of a nonionic polysaccharide and reducing the amount of quaternary ammonium compound used.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: (a) a bis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-dimethylammonium methyl-sulphate fatty acid ester having an average chain length of the fatty acid moieties of from 12 to 30 carbon atoms; (b) a cationic poly saccharide; and (c) a nonionic polysaccharide. The present invention also relates to the method of use of the composition.

A composition including a plurality of particles, the plurality of particles including: about 25% to about 94% by weight a water soluble carrier; about 5% to about 45% by weight a quaternary ammonium compound; and about 0.5% to about 10% by weight a cationic polymer; wherein the plurality of particles comprises individual particles, each individual particle having a mass from about 1 mg to about 1 g.

The invention relates to compositions and methods of treatment employing compositions comprising polyelectrolyte complexes. The compositions include a water-soluble first polyelectrolyte bearing a net cationic charge or capable of developing a net cationic charge and a water-soluble second polyelectrolyte bearing a net anionic charge or capable of developing a net anionic charge. The total polyelectrolyte concentration of the first solution is at least 110 millimolar. The composition is free of coacervates, precipitates, latex particles, synthetic block copolymers, silicone copolymers, cross-linked poly(acrylic) and cross-linked water-soluble polyelectrolyte. The composition may be a concentrate, to be diluted prior to use to treat a surface.

The disclosure relates to poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivatives comprising poly alpha-1,6-glucan substituted with at least one organic group linked to the poly alpha-1,6-glucan through a linkage moiety selected from ether, sulfonyl, carbonate, or carbamoyl/carbamate, and having a degree of substitution of about 0.001 to about 3.0. The poly alpha-1,6-glucan comprises a backbone of glucose monomer units wherein greater than or equal to 40% of the glucose monomer units are linked via alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages, and optionally at least 5% of the backbone glucose monomer units have branches via alpha-1,2 and/or alpha-1,3 glycosidic linkages. Compositions comprising a poly alpha-1,6-glucan derivative can be useful in various applications.

The invention aims to improve the cleaning performance of washing agents when washing textiles. This was substantially achieved by the use of N-carboxy-sulfoalkylated or N-sulfoalkylated chitosan.

A gel which is based on polysaccharide and which includes glass protection additives selected from zinc salts, polyvinyl amide, polyvinyl amine, or combinations thereof. The invention additionally relates to the use of the gel for the corrosion protection of glassware during cleaning and/or rinsing processes, in particular in a dishwasher, and to a method for preventing the corrosion of glassware during cleaning and/or rinsing processes, in particular in a dishwasher.

Consumer and industrial 2-in-1 cleaning compositions providing both detergency and rinseability in a single cleaning composition are disclosed. Alkaline-based cleaning compositions containing a surface modification polymer and an alcohol alkoxylate nonionic surfactant, and methods of using the same provide user-friendly, solid, detergent compositions without the need for using a separate rinse aid composition.
