Abstract: A non-aqueous liquid detergent composition comprising a bleaching agent and/or bleach precursor characterized in that said nonaqueous liquid detergent comprises less than 1% of free water.

Abstract: A nonaqueous liquid detergent composition comprising a bleach precursor composition comprising: a) a bleach precursor; and b) a surfactant system; and c) an organic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nonaqueous liquid detergent composition comprising a bleach precursor, said composition having an average particle size of the bleach precursor of less than 600 microns

Abstract: A non-resealable, snap-fitted closure comprises a closure, a drop ring and a container. The closure has a sleeve with a sleeve snap. The drop ring has an internal snap and an external snap wherein the internal snap engages the sleeve snap of the closure when the closure engages the drop ring. The container has a neck and a neck snap, wherein the neck snap and the internal snap of the drop ring engage when the closure and the drop ring engage the neck. The neck snap of the neck and the internal snap of the drop ring are an order of magnitude stronger than the sleeve snap of the sleeve and the external snap of the drop ring. When the closure is removed from the neck, the drop ring remains attached to the neck and is free to move vertically up and down along the neck, thereby preventing reattachment of the closure to the container.

Abstract: Nonaqueous detergent compositions which are in the form of a liquid, paste or gel, wherein the compositions comprise a divalent and/or trivalent metal salt bleach activator are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for inhibiting dye transfer between fabrics during washing. The compositions are specifically selected metallo catalysts; namely, porphyrins and phthalocyanines. Detergent compositions containing such porphyrins and/or phthalocyanines are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detergent composition which is a liquid detergent composition which comprises a surfactant, a proteolytic enzyme, and an enzyme inhibitor which is a peptide aldehyde. Said peptide aldehyde inhibitor contain 4 or 5 amino acids. Said peptide aldehydes are used to enhance the stability of proteolytic enzymes in liquid detergent environments.

Abstract: Treatment of textiles whereby the textiles are contacted with a medium comprising a bleach, anionic species and a neutralizing system for the anionic species, wherein the neutralizing system comprises quaternary ammonium compounds. The composition for textile treatment contains less than 10% by weight of water, and is essentially free of alkanolamines. The composition may further contain a metallo catalyst.

Abstract: Liquid detergent compositions are disclosed which contain conventional detergency ingredients and an enzyme system, wherein the enzyme system comprises a mixture of a lipase, or mixtures thereof, and a modified bacterial serine protease, or mixtures of said proteases.

Abstract: A process for washing or bleaching textiles in which "dye transfer" is inhibited by the use of an oxidizing bleaching agent together with a catalytic compound, such as iron phorphins, haemin chloride or iron phthalocyanines. Compositions for use in this washing or bleaching process are also taught.
