Stable liquid detergent compositions containing a surfactant, an aluminosilicate ion exchange material, a water-soluble detergency builder, and a stabilizing agent are prepared by dispersing the aluminosilicate material in an aqueous solution having a pH less than 7, preferably from about 4 to about 5, to partially gelatinize the aluminosilicate material, and mixing the dispersion with the balance of the ingredients to provide a stable composition having a pH greater than 7.

Stable liquid detergents containing aluminosilicate ion exchange material

Liquid detergent compositions are disclosed which contain an ethoxylated alcohol or ethoxylated alkyl phenol surfactant, an amine oxide surfactant, a water-soluble detergency builder, a hydrophilic material and water, said liquid detergent being in isotropic form and having a pH of from about 8 to about 13.

Stable liquid detergent compositions

Liquid detergent compositions are disclosed which contain an ethoxylated alcohol or ethoxylated alkyl phenol nonionic surfactant, an amine oxide surfactant, a water-soluble detergency builder, a hydrophobic emulsifier and water, said liquid detergent compositions being stable emulsion.

Fabric care compositions are described containing a combination of smectite clay fabric softeners and a gelatinized starch sizing material. The compositions provide a desirable firm, crisp structure with a soft surface to fabrics treated in water dispersions of the composition.

Fabric care compositions containing smectite clay and starch

Highly alkaline thickened aqueous liquid hypohalite compositions, preferably thickened with a clay, preferably thixotropic, and preferably containing an alkali metal silicate can be used in a process for cleaning kitchen utensils having baked-on soils comprising the steps of treating a soiled utensil surface with the thickened alkaline hypohalite composition and then covering the treated soiled utensil surface with an excess of water at a temperature of more than about 100.degree. F. The preferred compositions, free of abrasives, containing clay and an alkali metal silicate are particularly stable; provide good corrosion protection to metals, and are milder to skin than normal alkaline hypohalite compositions.

Thickened bleach compositions for treating hard-to-remove soils

Highly alkaline thickened aqueous liquid hypohalite compositions containing either mineral oil, water insoluble saturated fatty acid esters, water insoluble ethers, and mixtures thereof, preferably thickened with a clay, preferably thixotropic, and containing an alkali metal silicate which can be used in a process for cleaning kitchen utensils having baked-on soils comprising the steps of treating a soiled utensil surface with the thickened alkaline hypohalite composition and then covering the treated soiled utensil surface with an excess of water at a temperature of more than about 100.degree. F. The compositions containing clay, an alkali metal silicate and the mineral oil, water insoluble ester and ethers, etc. are particularly stable, provide good corrosion protection to metals, are milder to skin than the same alkaline hypohalite compositions without the mineral oil, etc. Preferred compositions containing the silicate and saturated fatty acid esters do not leave a residue of dried product which is difficult to remove.

A carrier granule containing an inert inner core and a coating of an organosilane and water-soluble or water-dispersible, normally solid, nonionic material. The organosilane is stabilized within the carrier granule and can be included in moisture-containing, highly alkaline or electrolyte-containing compositions, e.g. detergent compositions.

Carrier granule for an organosilane

A prill comprising an organosilane and a water-soluble or water-dispersible, normally solid, nonionic material. The organosilane is stabilized within the prill and can be included in moisture-containing, highly alkaline or electrolyte-containing compositions, e.g. detergent compositions.
