Abstract: A package for an automatic dishwashing cycle, the package comprising at least one detergent composition in the form of a solid and at least one detergent composition in the form of a gel, wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of solid detergent composition to the total amount of gel detergent composition is between about 1.60:1 and about 3.00:1.

Abstract: A method of forming an automatic dishwashing pouch comprising the steps of: providing a sheet of material (10); identifying one or more regions of the material; heating the material with a heating device having a non-uniform heating profile, the non-uniform heating profile arranged to heat the identified region(s) to a greater temperature than other regions of the material; and forming the material in a mould to form the automatic dishwashing pouch, the automatic dishwashing pouch including a plurality of cavities (12).

Abstract: A liquid detergent composition comprising manganese 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (MnTACN) and derivatives thereof, a hydrotrope and a non-ionic surfactant, wherein the composition is contained in a water-soluble film; and wherein the hydrotope is selected from the group comprising salts of cumenesulphonate, xylenesulphonate and/or toluenesulphonate. Use of the composition in an automatic dishwashing process.

Abstract: A multi-compartment package for an automatic dishwashing cycle, the multi-compartment package comprising an external sealing web extending around a periphery of the package, and an internal sealing web which partitions the package to form a first compartment comprising a first detergent composition in the form of a solid, a second compartment comprising a second detergent composition in the form of a non-solid, and a third compartment comprising a third detergent composition in the form of a non-solid having a viscosity lower than the viscosity of the second detergent composition, wherein the internal sealing web comprises at least a first internal sealing region arranged across the package to partition the first compartment and the second compartment, and a second internal sealing region arranged across the package to partition the second compartment and the third compartment, wherein the first detergent composition is separated from the third detergent composition by the first internal sealing region, the s
