The invention relates to bodies containing bleach activators. The bodies comprise specific peroxygen bleach activators and select binder or enrobing materials. When formulated in such bodies the peroxygen bleach activators have excellent storage stability and maintain excellent dispersibility in wash water.

Bodies containing stabilized bleach activators

Granular detergent compositions containing an organic surfactant, an aluminosilicate ion exchange material, a water-soluble neutral or alkaline salt and a film-forming polymer soluble in an aqueous slurry of the above components are disclosed. The compositions contain no or low levels of phosphate and silicate materials, yet provide granules which exhibit superior free-flowing characteristics and solubility in the laundering solution.

Granular detergent compositions containing film-forming polymers

A granular detergent composition, especially for laundry use, containing a specific mixture of anionic, alkoxylated nonionic and alkoxylated cationic surfactants. The compositions are particularly effective in removing greasy and oily soils from fabrics, and they have improved physical characteristics, especially odor characteristics, when prepared by spray drying.

Spray-dried granular detergent compositions for improved greasy soil

Laundry detergent compositions containing no phosphate or low levels of phosphate materials and specific mixtures of selected nonionic surfactants and selected cationic surfactants are disclosed. The nonionic/cationic surfactant mixtures are formulated to have 'cloud point' characteristics and, preferably, reduced cationic monomer concentrations as defined herein. These compositions are unusually effective in removing greasy and oily soils and body soils from fabrics; they are also effective in the removal of particulate soils. A process is disclosed for laundering fabrics using compositions containing nonionic surfactants and cationic surfactants.

Laundry detergent compositions having enhanced greasy and oily soil

Laundry detergent compositions, which are either free of phosphate materials or contain only low levels of such materials, containing a nonionic surfactant, preferably specific alcohol ethoxylate nonionic surfactants, together with selected single long chain (C.sub.20 --C.sub.30) alkyl cationic surfactants, are disclosed. These compositions provide both excellent particulate and greasy/oily soil removal and, additionally, provide fabric softening, static control, color fidelity, and dye transfer inhibition benefits to fabrics laundered therewith. A process for laundering fabrics, using these compositions, is also disclosed.

Detergent compositions containing nonionic and cationic surfactants, the

A nonionic, highly ethoxylated anti-static agent, preferably in combination with a fabric softening composition comprising particular mixtures of mono-, di- and tri-glycerides and fatty alcohols, is applied to fabrics in an automatic dryer.

Process for treating fabrics with fabric treatment compositions

An article for softening fabrics in an automatic clothes dryer comprises a non-staining fabric softening mixture being substantially free of unneutralized fatty acids in releasable combination with a dispensing means. The softening mixture comprises a fabric softening component consisting of sorbitan esters in combination with a phase-modifying component consisting of water-soluble C.sub.10 -C.sub.20 neutralized alkyl sulfates.

Fabric treating compositions with modified phase properties

Fabric treatment compositions

Detergent compositions are provided in the form of inversed emulsions, wherein the continuous phase comprises a highly concentrated detersive surfactant and wherein the disperse phase comprises a highly concentrated electrolyte, preferably a detergency builder.

Detergent composition

A non-staining, anti-static fabric softening composition comprising particular 'sorbitan esters' is applied to fabrics in an automatic laundry dryer.

A non-staining fabric softening composition comprising sorbitan esters in combination with soaps or tallowalkyl sulfates is used to soften fabrics in an automatic dryer.

An article for softening fabrics in an automatic clothes drier comprises a non-staining fabric softening mixture being substantially free of un-neutralized fatty acids in releasable combination with a dispensing means. The softening mixture comprises a fabric softening component consisting of sorbitan esters in combination with a phase-modifying component consisting of fatty acid soaps or mixtures thereof with tallow alkyl sulfates.

Article for softening fabrics in an automatic clothes dryer

Alkyl ammonium carbamates are fabric softeners and anti-stats which can be used in pre-soaks and dryer-added products, and in combination with laundry detergents as through-the-wash fabric softeners.

Fabric softening agents

Anti-static fabric softening articles and methods which utilize a composition comprising a cationic fabric softener in combination with a 'sorbitan ester' as a second fabric softener and release aid. The composition is releasably affixed or incorporated into a dispensing means and applied to fabrics in an automatic laundry dryer.
