Abstract: Aqueous heavy duty liquid laundry detergent compositions useful for laundering fabrics and providing cleaning and softening benefits. Such detergent compositions contain at least 5%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant component; from about 0.1% to about 10% of a quaternary ammonium fabric-softening agent having the formula wherein R1 and R2 are individually selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 hydroxy alkyl, benzyl, and —(C2H4O)xH where x has a value from about 2 to about 5; X is an anion; and (1) R3 and R4 are each a C8-C14 alkyl or (2) R3 is a C8-C22 alkyl and R4 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C10 alkyl, C1-C10 hydroxy alkyl, benzyl, and —(C2H4O)xH where x has a value from about 2 to about 5; and such compositions contain less than 10 ppm of trimethylamine and dimethylamine impurities.

Abstract: The invention is directed to aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for cleaning and imparting fabric care benefits to fabrics laundered therewith. Such compositions comprise (A) at least one detersive surfactant; (B) droplets of a silicone blend comprising a nitrogen-containing amino or ammonium functionalized polysiloxane and a nitrogen-free non-functionalized polysiloxane; and (C) at least one additional non-silicone laundry adjunct selected from detersive enzymes, dye transfer inhibiting agents, optical brighteners, suds suppressors and combinations thereof. The functionalized polysiloxane component of the silicone blend has a relatively low, i.e., less than 30 mol %, content of reactive/curable groups, a nitrogen content which ranges from 0.05% to 0.50% by weight and a viscosity which ranges from 0.00002 m2/s to 0.2 m2/s. The nitrogen-free, non-functionalized polysiloxane material ranges in viscosity from 0.01 m2/sec to 2.0 m2/sec.

Abstract: The invention is directed to liquid laundry detergent compositions for treating non-keratinous substrates under domestic wash conditions, such composition comprise (A) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and combinations thereof; (B) a silicone blend comprising a non-functionalised silicone and a functionalised silicone; and (C) at least one additional non-silicone laundry adjunct selected from the group consisting of detergent builders, detersive enzymes, dye transfer inhibiting agents, and combinations thereof. The claimed compositions are further essentially free of any coacervate phase-forming polymer and essentially free of any cationic deposition aid.
