Abstract: A solid free-flowing particulate laundry detergent composition can include a particle, wherein the particle includes a continuous phase and a discontinuous phase, wherein the continuous phase includes fatty material selected from: fatty acid and/or salts thereof; fatty alcohol; and any combination thereof, wherein the discontinuous phase includes: non-ionic and/or anionic emulsifier surfactant; hydrophobized polyethylene glycol polymer; silicone and/or petrolatum; and perfume.

Abstract: A fabric freshening composition includes from about from about 1×102 to about 1×109CFU/g of the composition, of bacterial spores; and cyclodextrins.

Abstract: A cleaning composition including from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the composition of a hydrogen peroxide source; from 1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a bleach activator; from about 1×102 to about 1×1011 CFU/g of bacterial spores; and wherein the composition has a pH of from 9.5 to 11.5 as measured in 1% weight/volume aqueous solution in distilled water at 20° C.

Abstract: A surface treatment composition including from about 1×102 to about 1×109 CFU/g of the composition of Bacillus spores; from about 0.01% to about 15% by weight of the composition of a pro-perfume material including a glycoside, a phosphate acid ester, an amino-acid derivative, a carboxylic acid derivative, or a combination thereof; and a perfume.

Abstract: A method of facilitating stain removal from a fabric including treating the fabric directly with bacterial spores prior to a laundry process; and subsequently subjecting the fabric to a laundry process.

Abstract: Cleaning compositions comprising endo-?-1,3-glucanase enzyme and cleaning adjunct. Methods of treating surfaces including fabrics by contacting the surface with an aqueous was liquor having the cleaning composition therein. The compositions and methods are particularly for cleaning cotton fabrics. The compositions and methods are particularly for removal of soils containing callose, curdlan, pachyman, scleroglucan or schizophyllan. The compositions and methods are particularly for improving whiteness of a fabric, improved soil removal from a fabric, for malodour removal from a fabric, for anti-wrinkle benefits and/or for improved drying of a fabric.

Abstract: Cleaning compositions and methods of cleaning comprising endo-?-1,3-glucanase enzyme and surfactant. The weight ratio of surfactant to active endo-?-1,3-glucanase enzyme protein is at least about 1000:1. The compositions and methods are particularly for cleaning cotton fabrics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating fabrics by contacting the fabrics with an aqueous wash liquor at varying pH values that increase from about 7-9 to about 10-13 (optionally down to about 7-9), maintaining such contact at pH 10-13 for about 5-30 minutes, followed by contacting the fabrics with an aqueous rinse liquor at an acid pH value of about 4-6. Such method provides a significantly improved stain removal benefit without any formulation changes. Further, it enables the use of laundry detergent compositions that are essentially free of alkoxylated surfactants, such as alkylalkoxylated sulfates or alkylalkoxylated alcohols, while still delivering satisfactory stain removal results.
