Concentrated perfume compositions are useful for incorporating perfume into fabric care compositions.

Concentrated perfume compositions

Phase stable liquid compositions comprise water, butoxy propoxy propanol and alkyl sulfate or alkyl ethoxy sulfate surfactants. The compositions are used to clean fabrics.

Phase-stable liquid fabric refreshment composition

A home dry cleaning article is provided. Thus, a hydroentangled carrier sheet comprising mixed cellulosic, rayon, polyester and optional bicomponent fibers which is releasably impregnated with solvents such as butoxy propoxy propanol, 1,2-octanediol as a wetting agent, water and an emulsifier is prepared. The article is placed in a plastic bag with soiled garments and tumbled in a hot-air clothes dryer. The garments are cleaned and refreshed.

Dry cleaning process with hydroentangled carrier substrate

Efficient dry cleaning compositions with pleasant odor qualities comprise water, butoxy propoxy propanol cleaning solvent and a perfume ingredient. The compositions also comprise 1,2-octanediol as a wetting agent, and a polyacrylate emulsifier. Dry cleaning sheets impregnated with the composition are suitable for inhome use.

Perfumable dry cleaning and spot removal process

Aqueous cleaning compositions containing solvents such as butoxy propoxy propanol (BPP) are emulsified using low levels of polyacrylate emulsifiers. Thus, an emulsion comprising BPP, a polyacrylate, optional surfactants, optional 1,2-octanediol and water is applied to fabrics in a home dry cleaning operation.

A home dry cleaning process is provided. Thus, a carrier sheet releasably impregnated with solvents such as butoxy propoxy propanol, 1,2-octanediol as a wetting agent, water and an emulsifier is placed in a plastic bag with soiled garments and tumbled in a hot-air clothes dryer. The garments are cleaned and refreshed.

Dry cleaning process

Aqueous, liquid hard surface detergent compositions having good filming/streaking characteristics contain amido zwitterionic detergent surfactant; linear cosurfactant; hydrophobic perfume; stabilizing additive that is C.sub.2-3 fatty acid and/or C.sub.2-6 alkane diol to help stabilize the hydrophobic perfume, especially as a microemulsion; optionally, cleaning solvent, monoethanolamine and/or other specific beta-aminoalkanols, etc. Preferred formulas do not contain large amounts of builders and/or other materials that contribute to bad spotting and filming and said formulas are suitable for general purpose cleaning including cleaning of glass.

Liquid hard surface detergent compositions containing amphoteric

Aqueous, liquid hard surface detergent compositions having improved cleaning and good filming/streaking characteristics contain specific polycarboxylate detergent builders at critical levels. Preferred formulas contain a zwitterionic/anionic detergent surfactant mixture at levels (e.g., from about 0.02 to about 15%); hydrophobic solvent; alkaline material, especially volatile alkaline materials comprising monoethanolamine or certain beta-amino-alkanol compounds; and salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as the detergent builder in levels (e.g., from about 0.05% to about 0.5%, by weight of the composition).
