This invention encompasses compositions of surfactant-based products containing anionic and nonionic sufactants, one or more sequestering agents, a glycol solvent for the preparation of liquid cleaning compositions. The surfactant-based product may be any type of cleaning product based on surfactants, which include a sequestering agent. Specifically, the invention relates to a cleaning composition with desirable cleansing properties possessing increased grease cutting.

Degreasing all purpose cleaning compositions and methods

A composition comprising a liquid portion comprising at least one surfactant and at least one material chosen from at least one suspending agent and at least one viscosity control agent, wherein the composition has an apparent viscosity under a shear stress of 0.5 Pa of at least about 1,000 Pa&#xb7;s; and the composition has an apparent viscosity under a shear stress of 100 Pa of less than about 10 Pa&#xb7;s. The composition is capable of suspending materials, but it still has desired rheological properties.

Liquid detergent composition comprising an acrylic polymer/ propylene glycol ether of methyl glucose mixture

An aqueous fabric softening composition is described having its rheological properties of flow elasticity and viscosity capable of being readily modified as needed independently of each other to satisfy a consumer preference, said composition comprising:

Fabric softener compositions containing a mixture of cationic polymers as rheology modifiers

Detergent composition are disclosed which are formulated for use in wash water over a wide range of pH in the washing bath. The compositions contain an anionic surfactant, optionally in combination with a nonionic surfactant with optimal builders and enzymes, and also contain at least one water soluble organic polymer, such as polyethylene glycol, which is miscible with or soluble in the surfactant. The presence of the water soluble polymer leads to enhanced fabric cleaning performance.

Detergent composition having improved cleaning power

A mildly acidic laundry detergent composition is provided for the improved protection of fine fabrics during washing and enhanced removal of generated foam during rinsing in hand wash comprising:

Mildly acidic laundry detergent composition providing improved

Detergent compositions are disclosed which are formulated for use in wash water over a wide range of pH in the washing bath. The compositions contain a surfactant mixture comprised of an anionic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant optionally further including a nonionic surfactant with optional builders and enzymes, and also contain at least one water soluble organic polymer, such as polyethylene glycol, which is miscible with or soluble in the surfactant mixture. The presence of the water soluble polymer leads to enhanced fabric cleaning performance.

Aqueous detergent concentrates containing a mixture of two or more surfactants having a differing resistance to electrolytic salting out in the form of micellar solutions and having pourable viscosities are converted into lamellar solutions upon dilution with water where the dispersion contains a viscosity promoting electrolyte present at a narrow range of concentration. Transformation from the micellar phase to the lamellar phase produces an increase in viscosity such that the diluted concentrate has a viscosity equal to or higher than the viscosity of the original concentrate.
