The need for an acidic liquid hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved removal of grease residues, while still being effective at removing limes-scale, is met by formulating an acidic liquid hard surface cleaning composition with an alkyl pyrrolidone, and additional nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of: alkoxylated nonionic surfactant, alkyl polyglucoside, and mixtures thereof, while limiting the amount of anionic surfactant present.

Acidic hard surface cleaners comprising alkylpyrrolidones

The need for an all-purpose hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved removal of greasy soap scum and water-marks, especially on inclined surfaces, is met by formulating an alkaline composition with an alkyl pyrrolidone, and a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of: an amine oxide surfactant; a betaine surfactant; and mixtures thereof.

Alkaline hard surface cleaners comprising alkylpyrrolidones

The need for a hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved surface shine while maintaining cleaning efficacy, and also improves the prevention of water-marks, especially from inclined surfaces, is met by formulating the composition with low levels of surfactant and a carboxylated fructan.

Hard surface cleaners comprising carboxylated fructan

The need for an antimicrobial hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved removal of greasy residues, especially greasy soap scum, is met by formulating the antimicrobial hard surface cleaning composition with an alkyl pyrrolidone surfactant and additional nonionic surfactant.

Antimicrobial hard surface cleaners comprising alkylpyrrolidones

The need for an antimicrobial hard surface cleaning composition providing good antimicrobial efficacy, even at low levels of the antimicrobial agent, while also providing improved surface shine, is met by formulating the composition with an antimicrobial active and an amine.

Antimicrobial cleaning composition comprising an N-methyl glucamine

The need for a thickened liquid hard surface cleaning composition having improved transparency in addition to antimicrobial efficacy is provided by formulating the hard surface cleaning composition with an antimicrobial agent and a hydrophobic alkali swellable emulsions (HASE) comprising a thickening polymer having a certain ratio of monomers.

Antimicrobial hard surface cleaner comprising a thickening copolymer

The need for a liquid hard surface cleaning composition which provides antimicrobial efficacy and good cleaning is met by formulating the composition using an antimicrobial active in combination with an amine oxide surfactant and additional non-ionic surfactant at the desired ratio.

Antimicrobial hard surface cleaning compositions providing improved grease removal

A method of cleaning a textile load in a professional laundry machine the method comprises subjecting the load to main-wash, rinse and optionally pre-wash cycles wherein the load is contacted during a rinse cycle with a liquor containing a low level of soil release polymer.

The present in relates to fabric enhancement compositions which provide reduced fabric abrasion damage.

Fabric care compositions having reduced fabric abrasion

The present invention relates to fabric enhancement compositions which provide reduced fabric abrasion damage. The compositions of the present invention comprise: a) one or more fabric abrasion polymers, said polymers comprising the following units: i) at least one monomeric unit comprising an amide moiety; ii) at least one monomeric unit comprising an N-oxide moiety; or iii) a polymer which contains at least one monomeric unit comprising an amide moiety and at least one monomeric unit comprising an N-oxide moiety; and b) the balance carriers and fabric conditioning or fabric enhancement ingredients.

Fabric care composition having reduced fabric abrasion

A fabric care composition comprises a polyamine functional polymer and a crystal growth inhibitor selected from the group consisting of carboxylic compounds, organic mono and diphosphonic acids, and salts and complexes thereof, and mixture thereof. In one embodiment, the polyamine functional polymer has a molecular weight between 200 and 10,000 and, when the crystal growth inhibitor is selected from carboxylic acid, organic diphosphonic acid, and mixtures thereof, the crystal growth inhibitor is present in an amount of less than 1% by weight of the composition. In another embodiment, the crystal growth inhibitor is present in an amount of from 0.005 to 0.2 percent by weight of the composition.
