Compositions for treating fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linens and drapery, wherein the compositions provide improved cleaning of soils from and/or care of and/or treatment of fabric articles, especially while providing superior garment care for articles sensitive to water as compared to conventional fabric article treating compositions, are provided.

Compositions for lipophilic fluid systems comprising a siloxane-based/non-ionic surfactant mixture

An improved fabric article treatment method in a laundering appliance involving a fluid switchover step such that the first predominant fluid is at least partially removed and a second predominant fluid is added. Specifically, the first and the second predominant fluids are selected to have different dielectric constatns. The fluid switchover method is also useful in controlling the surfactant carryover in a laundering process.

Domestic fabric article refreshment in integrated cleaning and treatment processes

Compositions for lipophilic fluid systems comprising 1,2-hexanediol

Fabric article treatment in a domestic appliance using at least a first and a second predominant fluids. Specifically, the first and the second predominant fluids are selected to be different in order to deliver more effective results. The first and the second predominant fluids are independently selected from the group consisting of water, linear or cyclic silicones, hydrocarbons, glycol ethers, and mixtures thereof.

A process for fabric article treatment in a single appliance using a substantially aqueous mediumd comprising a first predominant fluid and a substantially non-aqueous medium comprising a second predominant fluid. Specifically, the first and the second predominant fluids are selected to be different in order to deliver more effective results. The first predominant fluid is water and the second predominant fluid is selected from the group consisting of linear or cyclic silicones, hydrocarbons, glycol ethers, and mixtures thereof.

Fabric care compositions for lipophilic fluid systems

Fabric article treatment in a domestic appliance having at least one detergency step, products therefor, and kits which combine treatment products for more effective results.

The present invention relates to bleaching and detergent compositions comprising conventional detergent ingredients, bleaching systems with one or more bleach activators. Preferred bleaching activators are amido-derived bleach activators and/or N-acyl caprolactam bleach activators. The invention also relates to methods of using the detergent compositions.

Bleaching compounds comprising N-acyl caprolactam and/or peroxy acid

The present invention relates to a method of cleaning fabrics with heavy soil loads or by hand-washing with detergent compositions comprising N-acyl caprolactam bleaching activators.

Bleaching compounds comprising N-acyl caprolactam for use in hand-wash

Laundry detergents and automatic dishwashing compositions with activated bleaching systems which are effective under mixed soil conditions, especially mixtures of hydrophobic and hydrophilic soils and stains are presented. The preferred bleach activators are N-acyl caprolactams and nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate. A particularly preferred embodiment comprises a 1:2.2:7.7 molar ratio of N-acyl caprolactam to alanoyloxybenzenesulfonate to peroxygen bleaching compound. This mixed caprolactam, alkanoyloxybenzenesulfonate bleaching composition delivers stronger than expected performance on both hydrophobic and hydrophilic stains and on dingy clean up.

Bleaching compounds comprising N-acyl caprolactam and alkanoyloxybenzene

Disclosed is a highly effective detergency builder system comprising the combination of particular ether carboxylate sequestering agents and particular types of dispersing/anti-redeposition agents. Such selected ether carboxylates can include oxydisuccinate, tartrate monosuccinate and/or tartrate disuccinate. Such particular dispersing/anti-redeposition agents can include salts of acrylic acid-based polymers and co-polymers or can include certian ethoxylated amine materials. This selected combination of particular ether carboxylate sequestering agents and particular dispersing/anti-redeposition agents provide an especially useful builder system for use in phosphorus-free detergent or laundry additive products.

Detergency builder system

A highly effective detergency builder system comprises the combination of a major proportion of an ether polycarboxylate and minor proportions of an iron and manganese chelating agent and a polymeric polycarboxylate dispersing agent.

Heavy duty liquid detergent compositions containing a mixture of particular nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, alkanolamines, minor amounts of fatty acid-based corrosion inhibitors, and alkali metal bases, said compositions being especially adapted for stain and soil removal from fabrics either when applied directly to such fabrics before washing or when employed as detergent compositions for conventional fabric laundering, are provided.

Liquid detergent compositions

Heavy duty liquid detergent compositions containing a mixture of particular nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, alkanolamines, and minor amounts of fatty acid-based corrosion inhibitors, said compositions being especially adapted for stain and soil removal from fabrics either when applied directly to such fabrics before washing or when employed as detergent compositions for conventional fabric laundering, are provided. In a preferred embodiment an alkali metal base in an amount sufficient to raise the pH of the composition to 7.5 to 10 is added for increased corrosion inhibition.
