Compositions comprising an ionic liquid active composed of an ion active and an ionic liquid-forming counter ion, wherein the ion active is capable of delivering a fabric treating benefit, a surface treating benefit, and/or an air treating benefit. The compositions are substantially free of added water and have a viscosity less than about 5000 mPa&#xb7;s at room temperature. The compositions are easily diluted with water and/or organic solvent, without formation a gel phase during the dilution process. Various products, especially a unit dose product, made with such compositions are also disclosed.

Compositions containing ionic liquid actives

Process for treating or recycling a waste single or multi-compartment detergent pouch containing one or more detergent or detergent auxiliary compositions enclosed within a water-soluble enveloping material.

Process for recycling detergent pouches

Packages which comprise a substrate and one or more fabric treatment chemicals, wherein the fabric treatment chemicals are released from the substrate through the action of temperature, friction and/or contact with water. Methods for treating fabrics, the methods comprising the step of opening a package, the package containing at least one unit dose of detergent, and subsequently dissolving and/or dispersing the detergent composition to provide a wash liquor, and wherein the package comprises an insoluble substrate and one or more fabric treatment chemicals, the chemical-containing substrate being used to directly or indirectly apply the fabric treatment chemicals to the fabrics.

Packaged unit dose of detergent and method of treating fabrics

The present invention relates to a tablet formed by compressing a particulate material, the particulate material comprising a surfactant and a highly soluble compound, the highly soluble compound having a cohesive effect on the particulate material. In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of preparing an aqueous solution of a laundry detergent for use in a washing machine, wherein the aqueous solution of laundry detergent is formed by dissolving in water a tablet formed by compressing a particulate material, the tablet comprising a surfactant and a highly soluble compound, the highly soluble compound having a cohesive effect on the particulate material.

Detergent tablet with high mechanical and dissolution characteristics

The present invention relates to a process for producing a powder from a packaged tablet, the package comprising plastic materials, whereby the process is characterised in that it comprises a first step of submitting the packaged tablet to mechanical degradation with first mechanical degradation means, a second step of sifting with first sifting means to obtain an intermediate material, a third step of submitting the intermediate material to mechanical degradation with second mechanical degradation means, and a fourth step of sifting with second sifting means to obtain the powder, whereby the powder obtained comprises less than 0.05% per weight of plastic material.

Process for producing a powder from a packaged tablet

A cleaning composition which is an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion is disclosed. The composition includes (i) a non-aqueous hydrophobic solvent; (ii) a first anionic or nonionic surfactant having an alkyl chain, the length of the alkyl chain being C,or less; (iii) a second anionic or nonionic surfactant having an alkyl chain, the length of the alkyl chain being C,or more; and (iv) the pH of the cleaning composition being at least 8. Methods for using the cleaning composition for treating spots or stains on textile fabrics and laundry kits comprising the cleaning composition are also disclosed.

Composition for treating stains on laundry items and method of treatment

The present invention relates to tablets comprising a core and a coating, the core being formed by compressing a particulate material, the particulate material comprising surfactant and detergent builder, and the coating comprising a material, or mixture of materials, such as a fatty alcohol, which is substantially insoluble in water at 25&deg; C. The tablets are provided with means, such as effervescent agents, which aid in their disintegration in wash liquors.
