Abstract: A method for providing enhanced suds volume and suds duration in dishwashing using liquid detergent compositions comprising a polymeric material which is a suds enhancer and a suds volume extender, said compositions having increased effectiveness for preventing re-deposition of grease during hand washing are provided.

Abstract: A method of removing cooked-, baked-, or burnt-on food soil from cookware and tableware comprising washing the cookware/tableware in an automatic dishwashing machine in the presence of an organic solvent system having a volatile organic content of less than about 50% by weight and a wash liquor concentration of from about 100 ppm to about 10000 ppm. The method includes the storage and delivery of organic solvent compositions and dishwashing detergent composition from multi-compartment containers. The method provides excellent removal of stubborn soils which are very difficult to remove in a conventional automatic dishwashing process.

Abstract: Methods and compositions to treat fabrics with lipophilic fluid and a specific fabric care active are provided by the present invention.

Abstract: The present application relates to a method of softening soil deposited on a hard surface. The method comprises contacting a hard surface having soil with a composition having a soil softening additive incorporated into the composition. The compositions may be formulated at either high or low pH and preferred soil softening additives are amylase enzymes.

Abstract: Ionic liquids suitable for use in surface or air treating compositions are disclosed. Also disclosed are ionic liquid cocktails comprising three or more different and charged ionic liquid components. Compositions or products containing ionic liquids and methods of using the same are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for using amine oxide monomer-containing polymeric suds enhancers (enhancers) to increase the suds and/or foam volume and suds and/or foam retention in suds-forming and/or foam-forming compositions comprising such amine oxide monomer-containing polymeric suds enhancers. Suitable suds-forming and/or foam-forming compositions comprise one or more amine oxide monomer-containing polymeric suds enhancers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hand dishwashing detergent compositions containing polyamines. More particularly, the invention is directed to detergent compositions for hand dishwashing which has improved grease removal performance and benefits in sudsing in soft water. The detergents of this invention also have improved low temperature stability properties and dissolution properties.

Abstract: Rinse aid materials for coating, coating compositions, methods and articles of manufacture for use in automatic dishwashing appliances comprising a nanoparticle system or employing the same to impart surface modifying benefits for all types of dishware surfaces are disclosed. In some embodiments, dispersement of nanoparticles in a suitable carrier medium allows for the creation of rinse aid surface coating compositions, methods and articles of manufacture that create multi-use benefits to modified dishware surfaces. These surface modifications can produce long lasting or semi-permanent multi-use benefits that include at least one of the following improved surface properties: wetting and sheeting, uniform drying, anti-spotting, anti-staining, anti-filming, self cleaning, and durability benefits, relative to dishware surfaces unmodified with such nanoparticle systems.
