Abstract: A composition for treating or cleaning fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linen and drapery, wherein the composition comprises a lipophilic fluid, a polyalkyleneoxide polysiloxane surfactant, and a second surfactant.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a laundry detergent product comprising (a) a package comprising (1) a container; and (2) a closure; (b) a fluid laundry detergent pourable at ambient storage temperature and comprising at least one material copourable from the package with the fluid laundry detergent, wherein the material is selected from: (1) a detergent-copourable perfume composition; (2) a fabric care additive; (3) a laundry-specific detersive additive; (4) an enzyme; (5) a volatile malodorous compound; and (6) any combination thereof; (c) a headspace; and (d) a detergent-non-copourable perfume composition. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for making or assembling the fluid laundry detergent package.

Abstract: Laundry or cleaning composition comprising: (a) a catalytically effective amount, preferably from about 1 ppb to about 99.9%, of a transition-metal bleach catalyst which is a complex of a transition-metal and a cross-bridged macropolycyclic ligand; and (b) at least about 0.1% of one or more laundry or cleaning adjunct materials, preferably comprising an oxygen bleaching agent. Preferred compositions are laundry compositions and automatic dishwashing detergents which provide enhanced cleaning/bleaching benefits through the use of such catalysts.

Abstract: Laundry treatment compositions having improved consumer acceptance e.g., in relation to phase properties and/or in relation to accomplishing high odor acceptance without over-perfuming.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition in a water-soluble pouch, said pouch comprises at least two compartments, and each compartment contains a different component of said composition, wherein a first compartment contains a first component and said first component comprises a liquid matrix and a source of peracid.

Abstract: A composition for treating or cleaning fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linen and drapery, wherein the composition comprises a lipophilic fluid, a polyalkyleneoxide polysiloxane surfactant, and a second surfactant.

Abstract: Novel fatty acids and derivatives thereof such as salts, new surfactant systems comprising one or more of these compounds, consumer products such as laundry products, personal care products, pharmaceutical compositions, industrial cleaners, and the like comprising said compounds or surfactant systems.

Abstract: A process for fabric article treatment in a single appliance using a substantially aqueous mediumd comprising a first predominant fluid and a substantially non-aqueous medium comprising a second predominant fluid. Specifically, the first and the second predominant fluids are selected to be different in order to deliver more effective results. The first predominant fluid is water and the second predominant fluid is selected from the group consisting of linear or cyclic silicones, hydrocarbons, glycol ethers, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Laundry articles for care of fabrics or combined cleaning and care of fabrics and methods of use of such articles. Multi-compartment containers combined with selected fabric laundering compositions that comprise selected care agents in different compartments or a selected cleaning agent in one compartment and a selected care agent in another compartment. On combining the compositions from the multi-compartment containers, preferred articles provide heavy duty liquid laundry detergents having fabric care benefits.
