Abstract: The present disclosure provides water soluble laundry detergent products comprising one or more non-fibrous sheets and at least one solid layer, wherein the at least one solid layer comprises a gel and a solidifying agent and is coated on one or more sides of the one or more non-fibrous sheets, is disposed between two or more of the non-fibrous sheets, or a combination thereof; and methods of their making and using.

Abstract: A unit dose detergent pack is disclosed. The unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes an alkanolamine, an acid, a copolymer formed from first and second monomers with the first monomer being diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), and an alkali metal sulfite or bisulfite. The copolymer and the alkali metal sulfite or bisulfite interact with at least one of the alkanolamine and the acid to reduce discoloration of the liquid detergent composition.

Abstract: A single dose pack and methods for producing and using the same are provided. In one embodiment, a single dose pack includes a wash composition encapsulated within a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble or water-dispersible film. The wash composition includes an ionic detergent surfactant present at from about 5 to about 55 weight percent, water present at from about 5 to about 20 weight percent, glycerol present at from about 3 to about 56 weight percent, polyethylene glycol present at from about 8 to about 56 weight percent, and optionally propylene glycol present at from about 0 to about 35 weight percent, based on a total weight of the wash composition. A sum of the glycerol, the polyethylene glycol, and the propylene glycol is present at from about 22 to about 60 weight percent, based on the total weight of the wash composition.

Abstract: Stable unit dose detergent pacs are provided which are less prone to leakage or breakage and more aesthetically pleasing during handling. The unit dose pacs include a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble or water-dispersible film and a wash composition encapsulated in the container. According to one embodiment, the wash composition includes an anionic surfactant present at from about 2% to about 35%, a non-ionic surfactant present at from about 2% to about 30%, and a solvent system present at from about 37.5% to about 80%, characterized in that the solvent system is composed of water and a single non-aqueous solvent only, or composed of water, a single non-aqueous solvent, and a residual solvent (less than 5%) only.

Abstract: Stable unit dose compositions with high water content are provided. Such unit dose compositions include an aqueous composition having a water activity of from about 0.65 to about 0.95 and a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble or water-dispersible film material. In one embodiment, the aqueous composition includes water in an amount of 25% to 70% by weight, a surfactant system, and a water binding agent. The surfactant system may include: (1) a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and/or an alcohol ethoxylsulfate (AES), (2) a non-ionic surfactant, and (3) a fatty acid. The unit dose compositions can prevent the enclosed liquid detergent composition with a high level of water content from dissolving or pre-maturely dispersing the water-soluble container.

Abstract: A single dose pack and methods for producing and using the same are provided. In one embodiment, a single dose pack includes a container, wherein the container comprises a water-soluble film, and a wash composition encapsulated within the container. The wash composition includes a detergent surfactant, water present in an amount of from about 8 to about 40 weight percent, based on the total weight of the wash composition, and a polyethylene glycol (PEG) blend. The PEG blend includes at least one relatively higher molecular weight (MW) PEG having an average MW of about 1500 Daltons or greater in combination with at least one relatively lower MW PEG having an average MW of about 400 Daltons or less and/or at least one mid-MW PEG having an average MW of between about 400 and about 1500 Daltons.

Abstract: Stable unit dose compositions with high water content are provided. Such unit dose compositions include an aqueous composition having a water activity of from about 0.60 to about 0.95 and a water-soluble container formed from a water-soluble or water-dispersible film material. In one embodiment, the aqueous composition includes water in an amount of 20% to 70% by weight, a structured surfactant system which is in the form of a lamellar structure, and a salt which promotes the formation of the lamellar structure. The surfactant system may include: (1) a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and/or an alcohol ethoxylsulfate (AES), (2) a non-ionic surfactant, and (3) a fatty acid. The unit dose compositions can prevent the enclosed liquid detergent composition with a high level of water content from dissolving or pre-maturely dispersing the water-soluble container due to the lamellar structure of the composition.

Abstract: Water-soluble films, single dose packs, and methods for producing and using the same are disclosed. The water-soluble film includes polyvinyl alcohol and about 9000 ppm to about 150,000 ppm propylene glycol, about 0 ppm to about 230,000 ppm glycerin, and about 3,000 ppm to about 170,000 ppm polyethylene glycol. The single dose pack has a container that includes the water-soluble film. The single dose pack further includes a wash composition encapsulated within the container. The wash composition includes a detergent surfactant, water present in an amount of from about 8 to about 40 weight percent, based on the total weight of the wash composition, and a non-aqueous solvent mixture including propylene glycol, glycerin, and polyethylene glycol in an amount of from about 15 to about 50 weight percent, based on the total weight of the wash composition.
