Abstract: A bleaching composition is provided comprising a) a bleach-effective amount of a low-active oxygen bleaching agent; b) a bleach-compatible solvent c) 0 to 10 wt % of a surfactant; d) less than 10 wt % of a modifier; and e) an effective dry cleaning amount of densified carbon dioxide, said composition being essentially free of carbon dioxide soluble organic peracid.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a surfactant comprising a heterocyclic group that results in superior cleaning in a dry cleaning system. The surfactant can have one or more heteroatom and can result in reverse micelle formation in a densified gas like densified carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A dry cleaning system and process for improving the characteristics of fabrics is disclosed. The system and process utilize an additive having a silicon atom, and the additive does not enhance the cleaning process but does impart a lubricious soft hand on the fabrics after cleaning.

Abstract: The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

Abstract: A bleaching composition is provided for effective bleaching with a bleach catalyst at low temperatures. The bleaching composition comprises of a) from 0.05 microM to 50 mM of an organic substance which forms a complex with a transition metal; b) a source of active oxygen corresponding to 0.05 to 100 mM of active oxygen; and c) an effective amount of liquid carbon dioxide, preferably held at 25° C. or less.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a surfactant comprising a carbohydrate group that results in superior cleaning in a dry cleaning system. The surfactant has a hydrocarbon group that is more solvent-philic than a carbohydrate group, and can result in reverse micelle formation in a densified gas like densified carbon dioxide.

Abstract: A system for dry cleaning soils from fabrics comprising densified carbon dioxide and a surfactant in the densified CO2. The densified carbon dioxide is in a temperature range of about −78.5° C. to about 100° C. and a pressure range of about 14.7 to about 10,000 psi. At least 0.1% by volume of a modifier is preferably present. The surfactant has a polysiloxane a branched polyalkylene oxide or a halocarbon group which is a functional CO2-philic moiety connected to a CO2-phobic functional moiety. The surfantant either exhibits an HLB of less than 15 or has a ratio of siloxyl to substituted siloxyl groups of greater than 0.5:1.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a care booster composition effective for reducing wrinkles in a fabric being washed. The care booster composition enhances the performance of laundry detergents and fabric conditioners and may be used in processes for cleaning cloths.

Abstract: The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry fabric softening product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item either during the rinse step of the washing procedure or in the dryer. The need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying are thereby reduced.

Abstract: A dishwashing composition having a silicon comprising surfactant, a dialkyl ester of an alpha, omega-alkyl dicarboxylic acid surfactant or both is described. The dishwashing composition unexpectedly results in dishware that does display improved starch soil removal and does not display starch buildup after multiple washes.

Abstract: A process for making a transparent/translucent HDL composition capable of suspending relatively large size particles while remaining readily pourable. The composition is stable, even in the presence of relatively large amounts of electrolyte/surfactants.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a surfactant comprising a carbohydrate group that results in superior cleaning in a dry cleaning system. The surfactant has a hydrocarbon group that is more solvent-philic than a carbohydrate group, and can result in reverse micelle formation in a densified gas like densified carbon dioxide.
