Abstract: A unique liquid laundry detergent with enhanced stain removal capacity on bleachable stains is described that comprises linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, alkyl ether sulfate, alcohol ethoxylate, alkali metal silicate, polyacrylate, and optionally carbonate. The composition is remarkably effective at stain removal although the composition is entirely devoid of enzymes and the wash conditions devoid of any bleach additives.

Abstract: A unique laundry detergent composition is described that comprises linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, alkyl ether sulfate, alcohol ethoxylate, fatty acid, an alkali metal silicate, polyacrylate, and optionally carbonate, that is low sudsing and that shows improved whiteness retention over other fatty acid soap containing detergents in the absence of silicates.

Abstract: This invention relates to a aqueous liquid laundry composition which both cleans and conditions fabrics. The composition includes certain alcohol ethoxylates as a nonionic surfactant component, certain alkyl ether sulfates as an anionic component and a quaternary ammonium fabric softening agent. All of the foregoing are in specified proportions.

Abstract: Phase-stable concentrated liquid fabric softener compositions having controlled viscosity are possible through the use of borate salts as processing aid, stabilizer and viscosity control agent.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to enzymatic detergent compositions having high water content, and more particularly to highly aqueous detergent compositions comprising an amylase enzyme and one or more surfactants. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a HDL laundry detergent composition is provided. The detergent composition includes an amylase enzyme component, a nonionic surfactant component, an anionic surfactant component and a liquid carrier. In accordance with various aspects of the invention, an enzymatic liquid laundry detergent is provided with improved storage stability and enhanced cleaning performance.

Abstract: Particles containing imidoperoxycarboxylic acid can be produced by granulating a combination of imidoperoxycarboxylic acid and phlegmatizing agent and optionally granulation auxiliary and subsequently coating the granules with a water-soluble coating material. They can be used as bleaches or bleach component in, in particular, particle-shaped detergents and cleaners and for the production thereof.

Abstract: A fabric softener for neutralizing malodors comprising from about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of zinc ricinoleate, about 1.0% to about 90% by weight of a cationic surfactant, and a pH of from about 2.0 to about 5.0.

Abstract: A laundry detergent for neutralizing malodors comprising a liquid detergent a non-ionic surfactant from about 1% to about 10% by weight of the composition, an an-ionic surfactant from about 1% to about 15% by weight of the composition, a metallic salt comprising zinc ricinoleate from about 0.01% to about 3% by weight of the composition, and the composition having a pH level from about 6.5 to about 9.

Abstract: A laundry detergent for enhancing fabric whiteness comprising at least an alkyl ethoxysulfate having an alkyl chain length of 12-18 carbons and 5-9 moles of ethylene oxide. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the composition further includes an alcohol ethoxylate having an alkyl chain length of 12-18 carbons and 5-9 moles of ethylene oxide.

Abstract: The development and method for the production of an alkyl ethoxysulfate and alkyl ethoxysulfate/ethoxylated alcohol binary surfactant system using a sulfation process. A process for producing an alkyl ethoxysulfate/ethoxylated alcohol binary surfactant system additionally comprises the step of combining the resultant alkyl ethoxysulfate with the ethoxylated alcohol feed stream.

Abstract: A detergent for cleaning textile materials is compried of a combination of a soil release-capable alkyl or hydroxyalkyl cellulose derivative and a hygroscopic polymer selected from the group consisting of polypeptides, hydrogels, polyvinyl alcohol, the polyalkylene glycols, the homopolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and maleic acid, copolymers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and maleic acid and mixtures of the homo and copolymers. The use of the hygroscopic polymers in combination with the cellulose derivatives results in improved cleaning performance.

Abstract: A combination of a specific non-ionic soil release-capable cellulose derivative and carboxymethylcellulose, which improves stain-removing power in textiles of non-ionic cellulose derivatives.
