The present invention is based upon the discovery that high levels of carbonate salts can be formulated with minor concentrations of phosphates (e.g., about 0.1 to 0.3 percent by weight as expressed as (P.sub.2 O.sub.5) ion) together with low levels of polycarboxylate homopolymers and copolymers (i.e., about 0.5 to 5.0 percent by weight) in a dishwashing detergent formulation while providing satisfactory cleaning without unacceptable spotting and filming and without the need to add a chlorinating agent.

Machine dishwashing detergent having a reduced condensed phosphate

The present invention relates to a self-deodorizing carpet and to a deodorizing composition used in the production of a tufted carpet floor covering material. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of a particular bicarbonate-containing solution containing a water soluble latex for the treatment of tufted carpet floor covering products to impart self-deodorizing properties thereto.

Deodorized carpets and process for producing same

The present invention is based upon the discovery that high levels of carbonate salts can be formulated with minor concentrations of phosphates (e.g., about 0.1 to 0.3 percent by weight as expressed as (P.sub.2 O.sub.5) together with low levels of a mixture of certain polycarboxylate homopolymers and copolymers (i.e., in combination, a total of about 0.5 to 8.0 percent by weight), and relatively high levels of nonionic surfactants in a dishwashing detergent formulation while providing satisfactory cleaning without unacceptable spotting and filming and without the need to add a chlorinating agent.
