Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry composition for the removal of stains, which comprises at least one bleaching agent, at least one bleach activator, and a dye transfer inhibitor system comprising a copolymer of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and 1-vinylim-idazole, and a homopolymer of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone: wherein the weight ratio between the copolymer of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and 1-vinylimidazole and the homopolymer of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone is of between 1:1 to 5:1. It also relates to a method of washing a garment using the laundry composition and to the use of the laundry composition for the removal of stains from a garment and dye transfer reduction or inhibition from a garment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to laundry composition comprising one or more non-ionic surfactants and a combination of enzymes, wherein the combination of enzymes comprises at least one amylase, at least one mannanase, at least one lipase, at least one endocellulase, and at least one exocellulase. The invention also relates to a method for washing a garment. The invention further relates to the use of the laundry composition according to the invention as an auxiliary of a laundry detergent composition. The further relates to the use of the laundry composition according to the invention for the washing of clothes in a washing machine, wherein the clothes comprise at least 50 wt. % of cotton, based on the total weight of the clothes.

Abstract: A shelf stable laundry or hard surface composition comprising hydrogen peroxide is disclosed. The composition can be in the form of a thickened liquid or a gel that can support solid particles and is stable over a normal product shelf life against both precipitation of the particles and degradation of the peroxide and can tolerate a wide range of additional cleaning ingredients.

Abstract: A method of washing in an automatic laundry machine having a wash tank, including the following steps: delivering a first composition comprising a bleach composition to the tank in a first step; delivering a second composition comprising at least one surfactant composition to the tank in a second step; delivering a third composition comprising at least one enzyme to the tank in a third step; wherein water is added to the wash tank at the same time or after the first step but prior to the third step; the temperature of the water in the wash tank is elevated before, during or after the first step and/or the second step; and the temperature of the water in the wash tank is subsequently reduced before the third step.

Abstract: A fabric treatment applicator comprises a housing and an application member. The housing includes a fabric treatment composition. The application member has a frictional stress value of less than 0.05 Nmm?2.

Abstract: A product comprises separate first and second compartments. The first compartment contains a first component of a composition in a stable environment. The second compartment contains a second component of the composition in a stable environment. In use, the said two components are combined together to form a composition. The temperature of the composition is elevated when compared to the temperature of the components prior to said combination. The product comprises a low molecular weight polymer.

Abstract: A multi-compartment liquid dispenser comprising first and second liquid containing compartments, wherein present in at least one compartment is a first component that generates a gas upon the mixing of the liquid contents of the first and second compartments and a second component that foams when gas is generated by the first component and the foam subsequently quickly breaks.

Abstract: A two-compartment dispenser comprising a first compartment containing an aqueous composition comprising hydrogen peroxide or an organic peracid and a second compartment containing an aqueous composition comprising an enzyme.

Abstract: A two-compartment dispenser comprising a first compartment containing an aqueous composition comprising a source of active oxygen and a second compartment containing an aqueous composition comprising an alkalising agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to solid laundry additive compositions in tablet form. More particularly, it relates to enzyme-containing bleaching compositions for use primarily in home laundering.

Abstract: The present invention discloses dry effervescent granules comprising an acid, carbonate source and optionally a binder, wherein said acid, carbonate source and optionally binder are in close physical proximity. The invention also discloses granular compositions, containing effervescence material comprising an acid and a carbonate source, which has an effervescence index (EI) of at least 50. The granular compositions may be obtainable by incorporating said pre-formed dry effervescent granules into said granular compositions, especially detergent compositions. Improved effervescence is obtained when diluting these granular detergent compositions with water to obtain a washing/soaking liquor, resulting thereby in improved dissolution/dispensing characteristic and improved stain removal performance on soiled fabrics.
