Abstract: Stable liquid detergent composition including about 0.25 to about 3% by weight of a polyester type soil release polymer comprising aromatic dicarboxylic acids and alkylene glycols, about 10 to about 30% by weight of an alcohol ethoxysulfate (AES) surfactant, about 1 to about 12% linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) surfactant, and about 12 to about 25% by weight of nonionic surfactant and their methods of use for washing and providing stain resistance to textiles by forming a protective barrier against stains on the textiles.

Abstract: A unit dose detergent product includes a unit dose pouch with a water soluble film, and a liquid detergent encapsulated in the unit dose pouch. The liquid detergent includes a soil release polymer, at least 10% by weight of an alkyl-ether sulfate, an alkoxylated polyamine, less than 30% by weight of water, and, optionally, a polyglycol. A mixture of 2 parts of the liquid detergent composition to 1 part water has a viscosity below 3,000 centipoise.

Abstract: Fabric sheet assemblies for delivering malodor control in wash liquor during a laundering process and methods for forming such fabric sheet assemblies are provided. In one example, a fabric sheet assembly includes one or more substrate layers including a first substrate layer. The first substrate layer is configured to absorb and/or adsorb malodor compounds from the wash liquor. An odor controlling composition is carried by the one or more substrate layers and is configured to be released into the wash liquor.

Abstract: The present invention provides detergent compositions, essentially free of peroxygen or chlorine bleach compounds, containing one or more surfactants, one or more builders, one or more enzymes and one or more low MW (e.g., 0.8-25 kDa) polyethyleneimine (PEI) polymers or salts thereof, and methods of producing such compositions. The compositions of the invention provide certain benefits in cleaning of textiles (particularly fabrics including clothing), hard surfaces and dishware and utensils, including enhanced removal of certain difficult-to-remove stains such as chocolate pudding and grass, as well as of polyphenolic stains such as cherry juice, blueberry juice, red wine, tea and coffee. The invention also provides methods of using these compositions in laundry, hard surface cleaning and dishwashing applications.

Abstract: The present invention concerns compositions that comprise alcohol-free microemulsions and methods for their use that include a surfactant, a lipophilic linker, and/or a hydrophilic linker. These compositions can be used, for example, in cosmetic or hair applications. In certain aspects, compositions of the invention have the ability to microemulsify sebum while providing enhanced cleansing of cosmetic products from the skin or hair. In addition, the compositions have the ability to enhance the penetration of skin or hair active ingredients, such as emollients, humectants, anti-oxidants, lipids, vitamins, botanicals, dyes, tanning compounds, etc.
