Abstract: Fabric softening compositions are described containing a combination of an anionic surfactant and a complex of certain smectite clays with certain organic amines and their salts and certain quaternary compounds.The compostions provide fabric softening to laundered fabrics during the rinsing operation or can be incorporated into detergent compositions to provide fabric softening through the wash.
Abstract: A granular colored speckle is provided having non-staining qualities comprising a granular, water-soluble, hydratable, inorganic alkaline salt agglomerated with an anionic surfactant paste as the adhesive agent containing the coloring agent. The granular colored speckle is particularly useful in admixture with white or lightly colored detergent granules to provide a speckled composition.
Abstract: Clear, single-phase, heavy-duty liquid detergent compositions are formulated using alkaline earth cations to replace a substantial portion of the alkanolamines commonly used in such compositions, thereby avoiding precipitation of bis(styrylsulfonate)biphenyl brightener.
