A washing system for use in cleaning or washing a soiled substrate or substrates, the system comprising:

Method and system for washing

A method for cleaning within a washing zone comprising: placing at least one article for treatment in the washing zone, providing of at least partially deionized water into the washing zone, and optionally providing cleaning composition into the washing zone wherein the combination of said optional cleaning composition and partial deionized water have a specific conductance of less than about 200 &#x3bc;S/cm.

Methods for cleaning laundry with reduced sorting

One aspect of the invention relates to a laundry detergent product comprising (a) a package comprising (1) a container; and (2) a closure; (b) a fluid laundry detergent pourable at ambient storage temperature and comprising at least one material copourable from the package with the fluid laundry detergent, wherein the material is selected from: (1) a detergent-copourable perfume composition; (2) a fabric care additive; (3) a laundry-specific detersive additive; (4) an enzyme; (5) a volatile malodorous compound; and (6) any combination thereof; (c) a headspace; and (d) a detergent-non-copourable perfume composition. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for making or assembling the fluid laundry detergent package.

Perfuming method and product

Aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions useful for cleaning fabrics wherein the compositions contain from about 0.05% to about 0.4%, by weight of the composition, of a cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose polymer having a degree of substitution of the cationic charge of from about 0.01 to about 0.20; from about 5% to about 30%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant comprising at least one anionic surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant; and from about 2% to about 15%, by weight of the composition, of fatty acid. Use of such aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for handwashing delicate fabrics. Use of such aqueous liquid laundry detergent compositions for machine washing of delicate fabrics, wherein the machine washing occurs at a delicate machine setting.

Liquid laundry detergents containing cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose polymer

The present invention relates to a fabric treatment composition comprising surfactant, fabric substantive dye and dye auxiliary agent. The fabric treatment composition of the invention can be used to change, refresh or maintain the color of fabric.

Fabric treatment composition

A process for manufacturing effervescence component comprises grinding a coarse acid source to obtain an acid source whereof at least 75% has a particle size from 0.1 to 150 microns, mixing the ground acid source and the carbon dioxide source and optionally the binder and/or other actives to form a mixture, and submitting the mixture to a granulation step, preferably comprising a compaction step and/or an agglomeration step.

Process for manufacturing effervescence components

The invention relates to compositions comprising a peroxyacid bleach precursor, a peroxide source, at least about 15% by weight of a carbonate source, which may comprise the hydrogen peroxide source or part thereof, and at least about 7% by weight of an organic carboxylic acid whereby a 1% solution of the composition in demineralised water provides a pH from 8.8 to 9.9. The compositions are useful to provide sanitization of fabrics, in particular to reduce the activity of certain bacteria groups.
