Abstract: A perfume-containing water-in-oil microemulsion is provided which is capable of being mixed with an aqueous fabric softener base composition to provide perfume thereto. The use of the defined microemulsion enables the addition of perfume as well as other cosmetic attributes to an aqueous base composition under conditions of low shear while avoiding any problems of gelation or physical instability in the finished fabric softener product.

Abstract: Stable fabric softening compositions are disclosed comprising: (a) a cationic softening compound; (b) a non-confined fragrance oil; (c) at least one fabric or skin beneficiating ingredient free of any water-insoluble polymer or non-polymeric carrier material and which beneficiating ingredient is contained within friable microcapsules comprising an aminoplast polymeric shell with the proviso that when the beneficiating ingredient is a fragrance oil, the fabric softening composition is prepared by adding sequentially or in combination (i) said non-confined fragrance oil of (b); and (ii) the encapsulated fragrance oil of (c) to said cationic softening compound in the absence of any suspending agent; and (d) balance water whereby the ordinary manipulation of fabric during wearing or handling is capable of rupturing the polymeric shell of said microcapsules to release said fabric or skin beneficiating ingredient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a aqueous liquid automatic dishwashing composition disposed in a water soluble package that can be added directly into an automatic dishwasher.

Abstract: A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising (a) a compacted granular fabric softener composition or (b) an encapsulated liquid and/or granular fabric softener composition, the amount of (a) or (b) being sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine.

Abstract: A dishwashing cleaning wipe comprising a fabric wherein the fabric is impregnated with a cleaning composition.

Abstract: A water soluble container having disposed therein a liquid cleaning composition containing at least one nonionic surfactant, a perfume, glycerine or of ethylene glycol and a fatty acid.

Abstract: A stable fragrance-containing gel is provided which is capable of being mixed with a fragrance-free base composition comprised of a homogeneous aqueous structured liquid detergent composition to form a pourable fragrance-containing homogeneous aqueous structured detergent composition.

Abstract: A cleaning composition with desirable cleansing properties to the human skin comprising at least one surfactant, a preservative system and water.

Abstract: A method of treating fabric which provides improved benefits to treated fabrics relating to moisture absorption, fragrance deposition, soil removal, reduced wrinkling prior to ironing and better appearance after ironing, said process comprising applying to the fabric a dryer sheet comprising a substrate and a coating composition comprising: (a) from about 0.1% to about 30%, by weight, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactants, and wherein said surfactant is not derived from hydrazine; (b) from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of (i) a polymer derived from a polycarboxylic acid; and (ii) a compound derived from urea; and (c) balance water and adjuvants.

Abstract: A light duty, liquid cleaning composition comprising: a C8-C18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate surfactant, a magnesium salt of a C8-C18 linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, a sodium salt of a C8-C18 linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, an amine oxide, a polyalkylglucoside, a zinc inorganic salt, and water.

Abstract: A light duty, liquid comprising: two sulfonate surfactants, an ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate, an amphoacetate, an alpha hydroxy aliphatic acid, a sulfoacetate and water.

Abstract: A light duty, liquid comprising: a C8-C18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate surfactant, a magnesium salt of a C8-C18 linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, a sodium salt of a C8-C18 linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, a C12 and C14alkyl amido propyl dimethyl, an amine oxide, a polyalkylglucoside, a perfume and water.

Abstract: A light duty, liquid comprising: a paraffin sulfonate, an alpha olefin sulfonate, an amine oxide, lauryol ethylenediaminetriacetate, a zinc inorganic salt and water.
