Abstract: A process for making substantially anhydrous surfactant compositions which, at room temperature, are shear thinning non-Newtonian pastes with a yield point that allows them to be easily worked in commercial apparatus. The process employs hydrotropes, anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants in a drying step to provide the pastes. The pastes are especially suitable for incorporation into anhydrous liquid detergent products.

Abstract: Visible light reflecting particles comprise one or more detergent ingredients and a light reflecting component, which results in the particle having a specular visible light reflection which is greater in intensity than the specular visible light reflection of the ingredients per se. Preferably, the reflection is greater than the reflection of sodium citrate dihydrate, as defined herein. The reflecting particle preferably comprises the light reflecting component evenly applied on its surface. The particles are particularly suitable for incorporation into laundry or dish washing compositions, fabric conditioning compositions or hard-surface cleaning compositions.
Abstract: Disclosed is a cleaning implement comprising a handle and a removable cleaning pad. The cleaning pad is designed to provide multiple cleaning surfaces each of which contact the soiled surface during the cleaning operation. The cleaning pad also preferably has the ability to absorb at least about 10 g of water per g of pad.
