The method includes: providing ingredients for a dishwashing cleaning composition; providing a polymer selected from the group of: at least one first monomer and at least one second monomer, the first monomer being selected from the group of acrylate, substituted acrylate, maleate, or substituted maleate, and the second monomer being selected from styrene or substituted styrene, wherein the weight ratio of the first monomer to the second monomer is from 80:20 to 20:80; polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyvinyl pyridine N-oxide; lignin-sulphonate; polyethylene-imine alkoxylates; and mixtures thereof; and combining the ingredients and the polymer to form a dishwashing cleaning composition that is capable of removing grease and oil from plastic dishware. In addition, a dishwashing cleaning composition is disclosed that comprises from 0.

Abstract: A dishwashing wipe having a nonwaven hydroentangled polymer fiber topsbeet; a polymeric membrane; a nonwoven batting layer; and a polymeric scrim, with a dishwashing composition having an amine, a polymeric suds stabilizer, or enzymes incorporated in the wipe, wherein the dishwashing composition is in the form of stripes on the wipe.

Abstract: A disposable dish care and hard surface cleaning wipe is disclosed. In one embodiment, the wipe is comprised of a water insoluble substrate that includes a partially hydrophobic nonwoven first layer, and a low density nonwoven second layer that is adjacent to the said first layer and has melded onto the side facing away from the said first layer an abrasive coating of thermoplastic material nubs or hooks, and a cleaning paste containing a surfactant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising a photosensitizer that can be used to provide aqueous fluids with bleaching capabilities, aqueous fluid photobleaching compositions having bleaching capabilities and processes of making and using same. Such compositions can provide bleaching and/or cleaning benefits that are similar to or better than hydrogen peroxide bleaching systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to photochemical singlet oxygen generators useful as bleaching agents or anti-microbial agents in laundry detergent compositions or in hard surface cleaning compositions. The singlet oxygen generators described herein have enhanced singlet oxygen generation due to aromatic moieties teed to the molecules, said aromatic moieties absorbing ultra violet radiation then re-emitting the radiation as fluorescence at a wavelength absorbable by the singlet oxygen producing photosensitizer unit. The increase in the number of photons having an absorbable wavelength provides an increase in the production of singlet oxygen.

Abstract: Photosensitizing compounds suitable for use as laundry detergent photobleaches are disclosed. The disclosed compounds are phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanines comprising axial moieties selected for their hydrophobic character as measured by their ClogP. Also disclosed are methods for bleaching fabrics and methods for disinfecting hard surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to photochemical singlet oxygen generators useful as bleaching agents for laundry detergent compositions or in hard surface cleaning compositions and as anti-microbials. The photochemical singlet oxygen generators comprise a heavy atom unit-containing axial unit wherein the heavy atoms overlap with the &pgr; electron cloud of the photosensitizer unit and enhance the quantum efficiency of the transition of an electron from exited singlet state to triplet state.
