Abstract: The present invention relates to a pouched cleaning composition wherein the pouch is constructed from a water-soluble film and contains a liquid composition comprising less than 5% by weight of the liquid composition, of water; an anionic surfactant; and at least 0.5% by weight of the liquid composition of a builder/chelant free of C8-22 alkyl or alkenyl chains characterized by a solubility in said liquid composition of less than 0.3% by weight. Such pouched cleaning compositions provide better cleaning performance and better pouch solubility while avoiding the formation of residues.

Abstract: Processes for making particularly branched, especially monomethyl-branched or nongeminal dimethyl-branched surfactants used in cleaning products; preferred processes comprising particular combinations of two or more adsorptive separation steps and, more preferably, particular alkylation steps; products of such processes, including certain modified alkylbenzenes, modified alkylbenzenesulfonate surfactants, and consumer cleaning products, especially laundry detergents, containing them. Preferred processes herein more specifically use specific, unconventional sequences of sorptive separation steps to secure certain branched hydrocarbon fractions which are used in further process steps as alkylating agents for arenes or for other useful surfactant-making purposes. Surprisingly, such fractions can even be derived from effluents from current linear alkylbenzene manufacture.
