A bleaching composition which may serve as a detergent comprises hydrogen peroxide and a bleaching activator having a cationic group and having the formula (I) in which L is an ester-having phenyl and an amide-having phenyl: ##STR1##

Bleaching composition

A bleaching composition comprises a peroxide and an amphoteric organic per acid precursor. In particular the amphoteric organic per acid precursor is a quaternary ammonium salt has the following formula in which Z is sulfonate or carboxylate and is a new compound. ##STR1##

A softener composition comprising a quaternary ammonium salt having two hydrocarbon radicals having 12-22 carbon atoms and one unsaturated bond; the stereoisomeric structure of the above salt includes both the cis-isomer and the trans-isomer with the cis-isomer/trans-isomer ratio being in the range of from 25/75-90/10.

Softener composition containing cis- and trans- isomers of ethylenically

A novel detergent composition for clothing comprises a cellulase having a non-degrading index of the following equation of not less than 500 ##EQU1## The composition can not only remove the dirt in clothing articles without damaging them but also show the effect of mitigating the roughness of cloth to the touch and the effect of preventing decoloration.

Detergent composition for clothing: containing cellulase enzyme with

A bleaching composition comprises (a) a peroxide and (b) an organic peracid precursor having at least one group selected from (b-1) and (b-2) and then further comprises a detergent component(s). ##STR1##

Quaternary ammonium salts of dicyano substituted teriary alkylene

Non-aqueous shade enhancing agent

A granular detergent composition having a high density comprises an organic surfactant, a water-soluble, crystalline, inorganic salt, another inorganic salt and/or an organic sequestering agent for a divalent metal and a granular, water-soluble, crystalline, alkaline, inorganic salt, said alkaline salt having been blended in the dry state with a base comprising the above other three components. Instead of the alkaline salt, a granular, water-soluble, crystalline, inorganic salt having carried thereon an organic substance being capable of inhibiting hydration may be used.

High-density granular detergent composition

A soft-finishing agent comprising specific type of di-long-chained quaternary ammonium salt is disclosed. The quaternary ammonium salt has two long-chained alkyl or alkenyl groups which have specified average carbon numbers and are derived from naturally occurring oils or fats. The soft finishing agent can provide flexibility and antistaticity to various kinds of cloth, without impairing its water adsorption capability.

Soft finishing agent

Detergent composition for clothing incorporating a cellulase

A novel liquid detergent composition for clothing articles comprising from 0.01 to 10 wt % of an organic polymer, which has a specific particle size, in the form of a polymer latex. The detergent composition has a good shrink resistance for felt.

Liquid detergent composition for clothing articles

A detergent composition containing citric acid or its salt and isocitric acid or its salt as builders is provided. This composition has a remarkable effect of inhibiting yellowing of clothes caused by iron components contained in washing water.

Anti-yellowing detergent composition containing citrate and isocitrate

A bleaching detergent composition contains as effective component sodium percarbonate which has been coated with a coating agent containing a borate.

Bleaching detergent composition comprises coated sodium percarbonate

A detergent composition contains as an active component a cellulase produced by alkalophilic bacteria of the genus of Cellulosmonas.
