Abstract: The invention relates to an article of manufacture minimally comprising a wash soluble composition having at least one laundry benefit on a water-insoluble first substrate such as a nonwoven fabric, and a second laundry wash insoluble substrate adhered the first substrate by means of mutual contact with the wash soluble composition, for use in the laundering process, first in the washer and subsequently at least one substrate carried along with the wet fabrics in the tumble dryer. In this manner, a single article can assist in delivery of multiple laundry benefits to the washed and dried fabrics. The present invention further relates to methods for manufacturing such a laundry article.

Abstract: A laundry article of manufacture is described that may be used to both wash and condition fabrics when used sequentially first in the washer and then carried along with the wet fabrics into the dryer. The laundry article preferably comprises at least one detergent and at least one softener composition each solidified into geographical zones onto a nonwoven substrate. The optimized article comprises a nonwoven substrate with sidedness, and although the softener composition is solidified within the fibers of the lofted side of the substrate, the softener is unexpectedly found to subsequently express out from the flat side of the substrate while in the heated clothes dryer.

Abstract: Liquid laundry detergent compositions are provided that show remarkable performance even though they utilize only eco-friendly ingredients and have a sustainability index of greater than 3. Some embodiments include a liquid laundry detergent composition comprising alkyl polyglycoside (APG) with fatty alcohol sulfate, at least two detersive enzymes, an enzyme stabilization system (e.g. borate and/or citrate and/or calcium salts), d-limonene or other natural essence, water and adjuvant. In another exemplary embodiment, APG is combined with fatty acid soaps, at least two detersive enzymes, an enzyme stabilization system (e.g. borate and/or citrate and/or calcium salts), d-limonene or other natural essence, water and adjuvant. Such compositions show remarkable performance, good viscosity, physical storage stability, enzyme stability, and have a sustainability index of greater than 3.
