Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid block comprising a solidified material, characterized in that the solid block comprises one or more domains of prismatic or cylindrical shape extending between two parallel surfaces of the solid block from one surface to the other, wherein the solidified powder inside the one or more domains and the solidified powder outside the one or more domains each comprises one or more chemical substances, and wherein the chemical composition of the solidified powder inside the one or more domains is different from the chemical composition of the solidified powder outside the one or more domains. The present invention further relates to methods for producing such solid block. The present invention also relates to the use of such solid block as detergent in warewashing applications.

Abstract: A method for treating laundry is provided. The method includes steps of applying a bleaching and antimicrobial composition to laundry in a laundry washing machine at a first pH that favors bleaching properties and at a second pH that favors antimicrobial properties, wherein the first pH and the second pH are different, and draining the bleaching and antimicrobial composition from the laundry. The step of applying a bleaching and antimicrobial composition to laundry can include a step of washing the laundry with a detergent composition for the removal of soil. In addition, the step of applying a bleaching and antimicrobial composition to laundry can preceed or follow a step of washing laundry with a detergent composition for the removal of soil. A bleaching and antimicrobial composition and a laundry washing machine are provided.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of the invention include: providing a wet fabric; contacting the wet fabric with a compound of formula (I): where X? is an anion, R, R1 and R2 are independently selected from (C1-C4)alkyl, or (C1-C4)alkoxy, R3 is a polyoxyalkylene chain of formula: where, n is 35-45; or a compound of formula (II): where R is a (C1-C25)alkyl, (C1-C25)alkoxy, (C1-C25)alkenyl, n is 1-50, m is 1-50; and removing water from the wet fabric.
