Abstract: A process of reducing malodors on fabrics includes combining fabrics having at least one source of malodor with a wash liquor having metal ions. The wash liquor is prepared by diluting a laundry detergent composition in water by a factor of between 100-fold and 3000-fold. The process further includes washing the fabrics in the wash liquor using an automatic wash operation, a manual wash operation or a mixture thereof; separating the fabrics and the wash liquor from one another; and drying the fabrics. The laundry detergent composition includes from 0.001% to 5% of an alkylated phenol antioxidant, a hindered phenol antioxidant, or mixtures thereof, and at least one of said antioxidants has a log D value at pH 7 equal to or greater than 1.50.

Abstract: A dissolvable sheet having a water-soluble substrate, and one or more cleaning actives disposed uniformly throughout the water-soluble substrate. The water-soluble substrate is formed from a first substrate builder comprising polyvinyl alcohol, a second substrate builder, such as starch, and sodium laurylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate, and is sized and shaped to form a sheet, and hold a premeasured amount of the cleaning active. The substrate dissolves when contacted with a sufficient amount of water, thereby releasing the cleaning active into the water, which also dissolves in the water. A method of making the dissolvable sheet is also disclosed.

Abstract: To obtain a water-soluble film that is excellent in cold water solubility and is useful as a chemical agent package, provided is a water-soluble film, which is a polyvinyl alcohol water-soluble film including a carboxylic acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol resin (A) as a main component, wherein a lactonization rate of a carboxylic acid modifying group in the carboxylic acid-modified polyvinyl alcohol resin (A) is from 20% to 70%.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solid granule for use as or in a cleaning agent includes providing an anionic surfactant component having at least one anionic sulfonate surfactant and at least one anionic fatty alcohol-based sulfate surfactant; providing a granule-forming agent; mixing the anionic surfactant component and the granule-forming agent into a solid mixture; receiving the solid mixture in a granulation device, the granulation device having a first roller cutter and a second roller cutter, the first roller cutter includes a plurality of first blades and a plurality of first grooves, the second roller cutter having a plurality of second blades and a plurality of second grooves; cutting the solid mixture into a rough granule by cooperating the first blades with the second blades; and polishing the rough granule into the solid granule by friction rubbing between the first grooves and the second grooves.

Abstract: A novel binder and/or disintegrant for obtaining a compressed solid composition for non-oral use, the binder and/or disintegrant being fermented molasses, a process for preparing the compressed solid composition and also a binding and/or disintegrating composition, which includes at least fermented molasses. The fermented molasses advantageously makes it possible to replace synthetic binders conventionally used in compressed solid compositions, while also being able to act as a disintegrant on contact with a liquid, especially water. Thus, a novel way is proposed for utilizing a product which was hitherto solely used in the field of agriculture and livestock farming.
