Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid detergent composition comprising anionic surfactants, optionally one or more nonionic surfactants, polyethylene glycol, and water, and wherein the liquid detergent composition has a pH of 7.0 to 7.5, wherein the liquid detergent composition has a viscosity at 25° C. and 20 s?1 in the range of 5 to 100 mPa s?1, and wherein the liquid laundry composition has stable viscosity between a temperature range of 10 and 40° C., and wherein the composition is adapted for application with a hand-held dispensing device used for washing by hand. The liquid detergent composition has a low constant viscosity throughout the temperature range of normal use and produces a stable foamy lather.

Abstract: The present invention relates to personal wash compositions, in particular shampoo compositions comprising beneficial oils. It has been a long felt need to solubilise beneficial oils such as mineral oil in wormlike micelles in surfactant systems. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a personal wash composition comprising functional levels of beneficial oil such as mineral oil. It has been found that mineral oil can be solubilised in wormlike micelles in a surfactant system with specific hydrophilic or lipophilic linker molecules.

Abstract: The present invention is in the field of household cleaning tools. The invention further relates to the use of an air-water jet for the cleaning of hardsurfaces. It is an object of the present invention to provide easier cleaning of hard surfaces. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a process of easier cleaning of hard surfaces, especially by means of a device that uses a relatively low water flow rate. Surprisingly it has been found that an external mix air-water jet device may be used for cleaning hard surfaces.
