Abstract: The use of an effervescent product to clean soiled dishes and methods of cleaning soiled dishes by hand washing.

Abstract: Bleaching product in the form of a coated substrate comprising a water-soluble film and a coating comprising a bleaching agent.

Abstract: Process for making a functionalized substrate in the form of a water-soluble film carrying a coating of a functional composition, the process comprising applying to at least one side of the film an aqueous solution comprising one or more functional materials to form the coating wherein the coating is formed from a plurality of layers in a stepwise manner and/or the aqueous solution comprises a film insolubilizer agent.

Abstract: A water-soluble film that is resistant to contact with small amounts of water and methods of making the same from water-soluble film-forming compositions, such as polyvinyl alcohols having a salt applied to a surface of the film and a method of making articles made therefrom.

Abstract: Compositions comprising an ionic liquid active composed of an ion active and an ionic liquid-forming counter ion, wherein the ion active is capable of delivering a fabric treating benefit, a surface treating benefit, and/or an air treating benefit. The compositions are substantially free of added water and have a viscosity less than about 5000 mPa·s at room temperature. The compositions are easily diluted with water and/or organic solvent, without formation a gel phase during the dilution process. Various products, especially a unit dose product, made with such compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods for improving the processability of an active concentrate are disclosed. Specifically, an ionic liquid is incorporated into the diluting process to lower the viscosity and avoid the formation of a viscosity-increasing gel phase. Moreover, the ionic liquid may comprise an ion active capable of delivering a desired benefit, which accompanies and/or enhances the benefit provided by the active in the concentrate. The present invention also encompasses a dilution process for forming a product composition from a conventional active concentrate or an ionic liquid containing composition. The present invention further comprises compositions made by these processes.
