A composition in a water-soluble pouch is provided.

The present invention relates to a liquid softening through the wash laundry detergent composition comprising: (a) at least 0.5% by weight of the composition, of a fabric softening silicone; and (b) a fatty acid; and (c) a surfactant system, the surfactant system comprising: (i) at least 75% by weight of the surfactant system, of a non-alkoxylated anionic surfactant; and (ii) less than 25% by weight of the surfactant system, of an alkoxylated surfactant; and (d) one or more laundry detergent adj...

An anionic surfactant particle for use in laundry detergent compositions has an anionic surfactant content of at least 95 wt % of anionic surfactant and comprises linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS) and primary alcohol sulphate (PAS) in a weight ratio of from 5:1 to 1:3. The particle, which is preferably in the form of a flake, is of low hygroscopicity and dissolves rapidly in water.

Single or multi-compartment detergent pouch having walls composed of a water-soluble or dispersible water-containing polymer film, the pouch having at least one compartment containing a liquid composition and preferably at least one compartment containing a hygroscopic powder composition characterised in that the liquid composition comprises a moisture regulator system such that at equilibrium at 40% relative humidity and 21.1.degree. C. (70.degree. F.) the amount of water in the film is within ...

A composition in a water-soluble pouch, the pouch comprises at least two compartments, and each compartment contains a different component of the composition, wherein a first compartment contains a first component and the first component comprises a liquid matrix and a source of peracid.

A non-toxic enzymatic detergent for use in cleaning surgical instruments and the like which have a large build-up of bio-residue thereon and which need specialty cleaning in order to avoid both hardened bio-residue and certain fluid traces from the instruments for both operating accuracy as well as sterilization requirements.

The present invention relates to an article comprising: (a) a liquid composition comprising: (i) enzyme; and (ii) from 0% to 10% (by weight of said liquid composition) free water, preferably 0% to 5% free water; and (iii) carboxylic acid comprising 5 carbon atoms or less, and 1 or 2 carboxy groups; and (iv) chelating agent; and (v) enzyme stabilizing metal ion system consisting of calcium ions and magnesium ions, present in a weight ratio of calcium ion to magnesium ion of from 1:1 to 4:1; and (...

Incorporation in a laundry detergent composition of a graft polymer having a locust bean gum backbone and grafts of an aromatic sulphonic acid improves antiredeposition properties. The preferred polymer is locust bean gum--graft--poly (4-styrenesulphonic acid).

Detergent tablets are disclosed, which are characterized by containing surfactant granules, obtained by granulating and compacting anionic and/or non-ionic surfactants in the presence of dispersing agents.

A machine cleaner tablet comprising from about 10 to about 75% of a limescale remover acid, from about 1 to about 20% of low foaming non-ionic surfactant, from about 0.5 to about 5% of a detergency enzyme and wherein the tablet has a pH measured as a 1% solution in distilled water at 20.degree. C. in the range from about 1 to about 5. The tablet is used for cleaning the interior of automatic dishwashers, food processing machines and the like.
