The present invention is directed, in certain embodiments, to compositions useful for the removal of grease, lime scale, soap scum, feces, rust or other soils from surfaces such as those found in bathrooms, toilets and kitchens. Methods of removing soils and preventing soil adhesion are also contemplated.

Acidic cleaning compositions comprising a polymer

Fabric softening compositions comprising polymeric materials capable of retaining volatile perfume ingredients are disclosed, as well as methods of softening fabrics.

Fabric softening compositions comprising polymeric materials

Fabric softening compositions are disclosed comprising:

Fabric care composition comprising polymer encapsulated fabric or skin beneficiating ingredient

Fabric conditioning compositions containing an amine acid softening compound

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition formed from granules of softener, which granules are formed from a powder of said clay component wherein the amount of moisture in said clay component is from about 3% to about 10%, by weight, and wherein the total amount of moisture in the compacted fabric softener composition is from about 3% to about 25% by weight.

Wash cycle unit dose softener containing a controlled amount of moisture

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition in an amount sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine, and wherein said fabric softener composition comprises (A) a treated montmorillonite-containing clay selected to have initial properties as follows: (i) a montmorillonite content of at least 85%; and (ii) when said clay is activated with sodium ions, dried and ground to particles, said ground particles do not swell more than about 2.5 fold over a period of 24 hours when added to deionized water at room temperature; and wherein said montmorillonite-containing clay is treated by the process comprising the following sequential steps: (a) drying said clay to a moisture content of from about 25 to about 35%, by weight; (b) extruding the dried material through a die to form a paste; (c) drying said paste to a moisture content of from about 10% to about 14% by weight; and (d) calcining at a temperature of about 120&deg; C. to about 250&deg; C.; and (B) at least one disintegration agent to enhance the dispersibility of said compacted granular composition in water selected from the group consisting of swelling polymers; cellulose; and electrolytes.

Wash cycle unit dose softener containing a disintegrating agent

A unit dose laundry composition for softening or conditioning fabrics which is suitable as an additive to the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose composition comprising a compacted granular composition comprising a fabric softener or a fabric conditioner, said compacted granular composition being characterized by having a spherical shape and having no discrete outer layer surrounding said fabric softener or conditioner, which outer layer is comprised of an alkaline material such that the pH of the wash water is increased upon the dissolution of said outer layer in said wash water.

Spherical compacted unit dose softener

A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition comprising a softening clay component in an amount sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine.

Wash cycle unit dose softener

Fabric care composition comprising fabric or skin beneficiating ingredient

A water soluble container having disposed therein a nonaqueous liquid fabric softener composition.

Unit dose nonaqueous liquid softener disposed in water soluble container

Unit dose nonaqueous softener disposed in water soluble container
