Abstract: Compositions that contain a co-particle, a bleach catalyst, and optionally, a detergent adjunct material are disclosed. The disclosed co-particles contain a binder, a hydrogen peroxide source, such as sodium percarbonate or the like, and a bleach activator such as TAED. Methods of making and using these compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: Method of laundering soiled fabrics in an automatic washing machine, which method having the steps of: a) forming an aqueous laundering solution by mixing from 11 to 40 l of water and a solid detergent composition comprising a surfactant system, the aqueous laundering solution having from 200 ppm to 5,000 ppm of the detergent composition; b) putting in contact soiled fabrics with the aqueous laundering solution; and c) washing the fabrics in the solution, wherein the solid detergent composition is such that at least 30% of the detergent composition dissolves in 60 seconds in water and wherein the surfactant system has a micellar stability (?2) of at most 30 seconds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising multiple catalysts and water-soluble electrolyte, wherein the ratio of (i) the total reduction in activation energy in kilojoules per mole achieved by the catalysts to (ii) the electrolytic strength of the laundry detergent composition at a concentration of 1 g/l in de-ionized water and at a temperature of 25° C. in mScm?1 laundry detergent composition is at least 1000.

Abstract: A composition for disinfecting contaminated drinking water. The composition can include a disinfecting agent for disinfecting or sanitizing the water and a masking agent for masking or minimizing undesired characteristics of the disinfecting agent, such as taste and odor. The disinfecting agent can be a halogen-based disinfecting agent, such as a chlorine-based disinfecting agent. The masking agent can be a chlorine-compatible masking agent or flavorant, such as a citrus fruit derived flavor. The composition can also include a substrate. The substrate can be a clay, zeolite, water-soluble carrier, water-insoluble carrier, or mixtures thereof. The flavorant can be loaded onto the substrate. The composition can include other components, such as a primary coagulant, a coagulant aid, a bridging flocculant, a polymeric material, an alkali agent, an autocatalytic oxidant, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Compositions, methods and kits for purifying, clarifying nutrifying and any combination thereof, contaminated drinking water, which contain a primary coagulant material and a bridging flocculent material. The levels and ratios of coagulant to flocculent preferably fall within certain ranges. Highly preferred compositions also contain one or more of a cationic coagulant aid, especially chitosan, a microbiocidal disinfectant, a water-soluble alkali, a water-insoluble silicate, and a food additive or nutrient source.

Abstract: A kit for purifying water comprises a first container for receiving untreated water, and a second container for receiving purified water and having a dispensing spigot. A water purification composition, when mixed with water in the first container, produces partially purified water having solid matter. A first filter held in a filter holder at an upper end of the second container removes the solid matter when the partially purified water is poured from the first container. A second filter in the second container comprises carbon.
