A unit dose detergent product includes a unit dose pouch with a water soluble film, and a liquid detergent encapsulated in the unit dose pouch. The liquid detergent includes a soil release polymer, at least 10% by weight of an alkyl-ether sulfate, an alkoxylated polyamine, less than 30% by weight of water, and, optionally, a polyglycol. A mixture of 2 parts of the liquid detergent composition to 1 part water has a viscosity below 3,000 centipoise.

Unit dose laundry detergent compositions containing soil release polymers

A method for controlling rheology of a unit dose liquid detergent composition includes providing a detergent composition containing less than 20% water, a detergent surfactant, and a rheology modification system comprising iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), ethanol, and polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 1,000 Daltons; and encapsulating the detergent composition in a pouch made of a water soluble film. The viscosity of a mixture of 2 parts of a low water detergent composition to 1 part water can be maintained below 1,000 cp at 1.08 reciprocal seconds where the detergent composition includes about 1% to about 10% by weight of a mixture of IDS, ethanol, and polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 1,000 Daltons.

Synergistic effects of iminodisuccinic acid on an ethanol and PEG400 blend for rheology control

A detergent composition includes a surfactant component in an amount of about 20 to about 75 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the detergent composition. The surfactant component includes an alkyl ether sulfate, an alkoxylated alcohol, and a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The alkyl ether sulfate is present in an amount of greater than about 20 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the surfactant component. The linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is present in an amount of less than about 40 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the surfactant component. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 10 to about 80 weight and an alkyl dialkylamine oxide present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent actives, each based on a total weight of the detergent composition.
