Abstract: This invention relates to a general purpose household cleaner or cleaning composition in granular, powdered aggregated, agglomerated, pasty or liquid form, to be diluted in water, but which can be applied as such when in liquid form, effectively removing both organic- and inorganic-, acidic- and alkaline soil without requiring any additional rinsing step or steps and/or wiping, containing a specific organic, anionic surface-active detergent and a lower polypeptide having a molecular weight below 600, and an isoelectric point of at least 5.5, or mixtures of said polypeptides, or a protein hydrolysate containing mainly lower polypeptides, having an isoelectric point of at least 5.5, and a neutral carrier.

Abstract: Stable, homogeneous, easily dispensable, liquid household cleaning compositions containing a mixture of specific, synthetic, organic, anionic detersive surfactants; the Ca- and Mg salts of which are hardly soluble in water; a relatively low level of builder salts; fatty acid soap and fatty ester; and water.

Abstract: A granular, agglomerated, powdered or liquid detergent composition comprising a surface-active quaternary ammonium compound, a slightly water-soluble nonionic polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide condensation product, and either a surface-active betaine or a sultaine. The detergent composition is designed particularly for washing glassware, china, and glazed or vitreous articles. It provides not only good cleaning, especially fat removal and suspension, but also imparts to the washed articles persistent rinse water drainage characteristics which substantially minimize the filming, streaking, spotting of the washed, rinsed and air-dried articles.
