A trigger pump sprayer in combination with a liquid dispensed from the sprayer. The trigger sprayer provides for efficacious particle size distributions of the liquids, when sprayed under non-ideal conditions. Non-ideal conditions include only partial strokes of the trigger, rather than full strokes and relatively slow trigger strokes. A bimodal distribution of particle sizes is obtained under two different operating conditions. The sprayer/liquid combination according to the present invention compresses the difference between the two modes, without requiring undue work by the operator. The advantageous particle size distribution difference is accomplished by using a precompression piston which reciprocates in response to trigger strokes, and selecting a liquid having appropriate properties to correspond to the trigger pump operating characteristics.

Trigger pump sprayer

A trigger pump sprayer in combination with a liquid dispensed from the sprayer. The sprayer is suitable for dispensing liquid from a reservoir, through a nozzle into particles. The trigger sprayer provides for efficacious particle size distributions of the liquids, when sprayed under non-ideal conditions. Non-ideal conditions include only partial strokes of the trigger, rather than full strokes and relatively slow trigger strokes. The trigger sprayer advantageously delivers a particle size distribution suitable for liquids having particular rheological properties. The advantageous particle size distribution difference is accomplished by using a precompression piston which reciprocates in response to trigger strokes, and selecting a liquid having appropriate properties to correspond to the trigger pump operating characteristics.

A multi-compartment pouch suitable for use in a laundry application comprising a water-soluble film and having at least a first and a second compartment, wherein each compartment comprises a composition, characterized in that the second compartment comprises a whitening agent that exhibits a hueing efficiency of at least 5 and a wash removal value in the range of from about 30% to about 95%.

Multi-compartment pouch

The present invention relates to a liquid bleaching composition comprising a hypohalite bleach, a trimethoxy benzoic acid or a salt thereof and a compound selected from the group consisting of bleach-unstable brighteners, and bleach-unstable coloring-agents and mixtures thereof.

Bleaching composition comprising an alkoxylated benzoic acid

The present invention relates to cleaning compositions which comprise radical scavengers, for effective cleaning and improved storage stability. These compositions are suitable for use in various laundry applications including hand and machine laundry methods.

Bleaching compositions

The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising anionic mid-branched surfactant compounds and additional anionic sulfate and sulfonate surfactants. The compositions are particularly useful as solid laundry detergent compositions.
