Abstract: The invention concerns a washing composition for washing a surface to deposit thereon substantially water-insoluble particles. The aqueous washing composition of the invention comprises an anionic surfactant, the particulate substance to be deposited and a water-soluble cationic non-cellulosic polymer which enhances the deposition of the particulate substance onto the surface but which cationic polymer does not form in the composition a water-insoluble complex with the anionic surfactant, the cationic charge density of the polymer being from 0.0001 to 0.0017; the concentration of the cationic polymer in the washing composition being from 0.0001% to 0.01% by weight; and the concentration of the surfactant in the washing composition being from 0.01% to 5% by weight.

Abstract: An aqueous shampoo containing a hair conditioning agent comprises an alkyl sulfate or alkyl ether sulfate detergent, a polyglycol-polyamine condensation resin and a phosphate mono- or di-ester. The deposition onto hair of the polyglycol-polyamine condensation resin from the shampoo is enhanced by the presence of the phosphate esters.

Abstract: The invention concerns an aqueous shampoo comprising an alkyl sulphate or alkyl ether sulphate detergent, a cationic derivative of a polygalactomannan gum as a hair conditioning agent and, for enhancing the deposition of the conditioning agent onto the hair during shampooing, a defined carboxylate, sulphate or phosphate ester anionic additive.
