Abstract: A process of imparting transparency or translucency to a liquid or gel type automatic dishwashing detergent product is disclosed. The process includes the steps of providing a liquid or gel type automatic dishwashing detergent composition expressly free from (i) potassium tripolyphosphate and (ii) mixture of sodium tripolyphosphate and potassium tripolyphosphate, adding one or more of potassium sources to the liquid or gel type automatic dishwashing detergent composition, the potassium sources being expressly free of potassium tripolyphosphate, and maintaining a K:Na weight ratio greater than at least about 0.5:1.

Abstract: A bag or other flexible container for the disposal of food wastes and scraps contains inside an absorbent material on which is deposited an odor-neutralizing composition. Solid and liquid food wastes are placed inside the bag, which is then sealed and placed in a home trash receptacle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bleach catalyst-containing composite particles suitable for incorporation into granular detergent compositions, said composite particles comprising:(a) from about 1% to about 60% of bleach catalyst (preferably a cobalt catalyst); and(b) from about 40% to about 99% of carrier material that melts within the range of from about 38.degree. C. to about 77.degree. C. (preferably selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycols, paraffin waxes, and mixtures thereof), and to processes for making these particles. These particles are particularly useful components of detergent compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions, hard surface cleaners, and especially automatic dishwashing detergent compositions.
