A vapor-venting containment bag having at least three flexible side walls and a VVE rating of at least about 40 and less than about 90, as measured in the Vapor Venting Evaluation Test. When the bag is in its closed configuration a three dimensional interior void space is formed whereby the bag resists collapsing. Also, a fabric cleaning and refreshment process that is conducted in a hot air clothes dryer using the vapor-releasing containment bag. The bag is constructed using heat resistant polymers, such as nylon. The bag retains its integrity and can be re-used in subsequent dry cleaning operations. Vapor is vented from the bag during use, thereby minimizing wrinkling in the clothes being cleaned and removing malodors therefrom.

Three dimensional fabric care bag that resists collapsing during use

Articles designed to clean/refresh soiled fabrics are improved by means of texturing at least one surface and/or by applying tackiness agents. In use, the articles rub against the fabrics, whereupon lint removed from the fabrics is trapped and retained by the tackiness agent. Refolding of the articles during use is substantially minimized by imparting texture to one or more of the article's surfaces.

The subject invention involves laundry bar compositions comprising:

Soap-based laundry bars with improved firmness

A fabric cleaning/refreshment process is conducted in a hot air clothes dryer using a vapor-releasing containment bag. The bag is constructed using heat resistant polymers, such as nylon, to avoid unanticipated hot spots in the dryer. The bag retains its integrity and can be re-used in subsequent dry cleaning operations. Vapor is vented from the bag during use, thereby minimizing wrinkling in the clothes being cleaned and removing malodors therefrom.

The subject invention involves laundry compositions comprising:

Laundry bars with polyethylene glycol as a processing aid

Aqueous, thickened liquid or gel cleaning compositions displaying enhanced chemical and physical stability are provided. The compositions comprise a chlorine bleach ingredient, cross-linked polycarboxylate polymer, phytic acid, a theology stabilizing agent, and a buffering agent to maintain the pH of the composition above about 10. The phytic acid component is, preferably, substantially free of hypochlorite-reactive species. Preferred automatic dishwashing detergent compositions containing builder and optional surfactant and metalate, and displaying shear thinning behavior, are also disclosed.

Stable thickened aqueous cleaning composition containing a chlorine

A light-duty liquid or gel dishwashing detergent composition containing an alkyl ethoxy carboxylate surfactant and little or no alcohol ethoxylate and soap by-product contaminants. The compositions exhibit good grease removal while manifesting mildness to the skin. A preferred type of dishwashing detergent composition is in the liquid form. High pH and magnesium ion containing versions of the compositions increase grease removal properties while maintaining mildness.

Light-duty liquid or gel dishwashing detergent composition containing an

Liquid cleaning compositions displaying enhanced physical stability in the presence of bleach are provided, comprising a chlorine bleach ingredient, cross-linked polycarboxylate polymer, a rheology stabilizing agent, and a buffering agent to maintain the pH of the composition above about 10. Preferred liquid automatic dishwashing detergent compositions containing builder and optional surfactant and metalate, and displaying shear thinning behavior, are disclosed.

Stable thickened liquid cleaning composition containing bleach

Disclosed are liquid automatic dishwashing detergent compositions having an optimized thickening system. The thickening system is based on a polyacrylate polymer thickener and an alkali metal silica colloid having dispersed therein an alkali metal aluminate.

Liquid automatic dishwashing compositions having an optimized thickening

Disclosed are liquid automatic dishwashing detergent compositions containing an insoluble inorganic zinc salt useful for inhibition of glassware corrosion in the dishwasher. These compositions are particularly desirable because use of them in the dishwasher does not result in precipitation of insolubles on the dishware or dishwasher parts.

Liquid automatic dishwashing compositions compounds providing glassware

High sudsing liquid detergent compositions contain anionic surfactant and polymeric surfactant which contains ether linkages, the anionic surfactant forming stable complexes with the polymeric surfactant for improved grease handling.

Liquid detergent composition containing polymeric surfactant

Detergent compositions comprising a mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyacrylate of specified molecular weight for improved physical properties and cold water dispersion are disclosed.

Spray-dried granular detergent compositions containing tripolyphosphate

A composition which contains aluminosilicate detergency builder materials in an intimate mixture with an inorganic salt, a water-soluble or water-dispersable organic agglomerating compound having a melting point between 10.degree. C. and 100.degree. C., and a water soluble soap of a fatty acid.
