Abstract: A detergent composition dispensing device removable insertable into a washing machine comprises:— (a) a primary chamber to accommodate a detergent composition, (b) a secondary chamber, for releasing same into the wash liquor of the washing machine, (c) a mechanism for transferring detergent from the primary to the secondary chamber, the mechanism comprising: (i) a movable piston disposed within the secondary chamber (ii) a valve arranged between the primary chamber and the secondary chamber, which, when operated, permits flow of the detergent composition there-between.

Abstract: A cleaning composition comprises a dispersion. The dispersion includes an acidic aqueous phase and a suspended particle.

Abstract: A product comprises a pillow made of a plastics sheet material. The material is porous. The product further comprises particles of a support material contained within the pillow. One or more of the particles of support of the plastics sheet material are reversible impregnated with a detergent formulation.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a clothes-conditioning hanger able to condition (e.g. fragrance) clothing on the hanger. The hanger has a socket (9) beneath its apex (4), which can retain a source of conditioning agent. The hanger arms (3) contain passageways and apertures (6) whereby conditioning agent may be delivered to the clothing on the hanger.

Abstract: The present invention provides a detergent composition dispensing device. The device is removably insertable into a washing machine. The device comprises a chamber to accommodate a detergent composition, a detection means to detect the presence of water and/or wash liquor in the machine and a pumping means to pump the detergent composition from the chamber out of the device. The pumping means is influenced by an output signal from the detection means, characterised in that the detection means has an associated algorithm such that water is not deemed to have been detected until water and/or wash liquor has been detected as being present over a certain portion of a per-determined time interval in a wash cycle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to detergent compositions containing incompatible ingredients, like enzymes and bleach, which can be used to clean various surfaces including but not limited to, hard surfaces as well as fabrics, clothes, carpets, wherein a bleach is encapsulated in coating digestible by an enzyme present in the composition.
